think? is this an important non-position by hillary clinton? it is critical. i heard howard dean on another show earlier today saying that it s no big deal. howard dean and secretary clinton are completely out of touch with the grass roots and the democratic base if they think that she can continue to get away with the this. i know that groups like 350.org will bird dog her if she comes close to the state of nebraska, we ll have farmers and rajnchers telling her we will not accept the status quo. it is simple do you support the expansion of tar sand or cleaner energy? it s that simple. you can t say you want to have solar panels as the shining object and isn t that wonder and feel avoid the tough subjects. all right. clinton s 2016 democratic martin
heartland. not only is that terrifying it s not a responsible way in order to get energy to america. you mentioned the word culture, jane. one of the things you ve zone so brilliantly is you ve organized a conservative and in some ways, nonpartisan environmental movement. when we talk about energy and energy reform and the future of this planet, so often that conversation splits along political divide. tell us about how you ve gotten by and from all sides in terms of bold nebraska s work? we really just won t to old fashioned organizing style, to be honest. we went to folk s kitchen tables, k3450u7b9 centers and churches and did a slide show presentation on what tar sand looked like and the concerns about keystone one. and on transcanada s first pipeline and we had a when farmers have a chance to counter with what they re misleading
150,000 and then quick answer. if he says we re building the keystone pipeline, how disappointed would you be in the president? not even an american corporation can build a pipeline to bring toxic goo. it s not even oil. do you know how many pipelines are in the united states right now? do you know how many are carrying tar sand? almost none. it s not oil. it can t be cleaned up. it s $1 billion per spill. oil, 1 million. i ll probably be a little disappointed. let s see what he does. he s under a lot of pressure to support it. all right, van, see you at 6:30 p.m. crossfire . enjoy your night. other news we re following, including colorado s millions of dollars from recreation sales of marijuana.
growing bipartisan calls to go forward with the multibillion-dollar project. the pipeline cleared a major hurdle when a state department review found the project would not significantly add to greenhouse gas emission that is will likely created any way by the vellment of tar sand in canada. the president is awaiting on assessments from the secretary of state and other federal agencies including the epa. our chief washington correspondent james rosen joins us live. the approval process, james, has already lasted five years. how much longer will it go? reporter: jon, the release on friday of the state department s fifth and final environmental impact study triggers another period of comment, 30 days for the public, 90 days for other federal agencies, after which there would be no looming deadline by which the administration would be required to make a decision. this is the second keystone pipeline that the transcanada corporation would like to build. its final leg from cushing, oklahom
to the gulf coast. building the northern leg would not add to greenhouse emission. and tar sand will be exploited anyway. the environmentalist are now pinning their hopes on secretary of state kerry a long- time leader on the left for climate change. there is a 90 day comment period. there is no dead line for secretary kerry to make a decision and a 30 day president after they have comments from the public. it is only one factor that will weigh any other factors as well. so just to come out and speak with you.
