another instance of the white house and an energy company. another set of e-mails and another set of energy interests and for folks on the right saying you and your green energy are so cozy, this is the opposite. green activists angry at the obama administration for being too cozy with big oil. the other side of the same phenomenon. a pipeline, keystone pipeline stretching from alberta canada to the gulf of mexico. the largest pipeline outside of russia and china carrying a ton of oil, and the oil coming through is particularly crude kind of oil. comes from the tar sands, and activists don t want this to be built. calling it a 1,700 fuse to the largest carbon bomb on the planet. obviously, if we re going to stop climate change we can t be putting more carbon into the air? right? someone telling you they going to go on a diet but first going to build a pie room in their house, right? you would tell them it was a the first thing they should do, not build the pie room. right? or go on
it. if we re just talking about cronyism and the government being captured by big interest, there s no problem. the problem is when people then use that to naomi s point, make a broader indictment, america can t be a partner to innovation. anti-thetic s to american capitalism where american government was a partner to american business in making sure we could lead on key and critical industries. suddenly out of nowhere, and i think naomi s got a right, for very this is the exception. on energy, we give the biggest polluters in the world making the most money in the world all kinds of subsidies and support but when a new paradigm emerges only in energy, noplace else, they don t. that s wrong. we re going to talk about more of this. maria has something to say. i ll get to you after we come right back after a break. any sec -o-m-g dad, you are not meeting him looking like that. i look fine. just a little trouble
