rsn-M.jpgr. Secretary, I am disappointed. I thought that we all understood that to fight climate change, we have to be able to say “no” to dirty energy projects. Our friends around the world arelooking to us for climate leadership and it starts with drawing the line at tar sands expansion. It also means that we need to give health and environment a fair shake in the environmental review of a dirty energy project such as the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. Yet the draft environmental review prepared by the State Department for Keystone XL misses what folks in industry themselves are saying: the Keystone XL project is necessary for expansion of tar sands. We know this means that Keystone XL will make climate change worse.
