We know climate change is happening and is caused by human activity, namely the burning of fossil fuels. President Obama has promised us oil independence - let us take steps in that direction by NOT building this pipeline, and instead, investing in energy sources that will sustain us in the future, not cripple us and our children's children.
The United States should take a leadership role in the world by denying industry- and greed-based proposals such as this one and move forward with this country's history of innovation. This pipeline will only deny the inevitable as there is still only a finite amount of oil shale, tar sands, and crude oil to be refined.
Building this pipeline will negatively impact me by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, by continuing to destroy and develop Native American lands, and by failing to respond to the sentiments of U.S. citizens, who are vocalizing their dissent of this plan.
Please do not approve this plan - it is environmentally destructive, socially unjust, and deeply un-American.
