I’ve opened this thread 10x trying to think of something meaningful to say, but the whole thing just disgusts and exhausts me. I hate that Alberta (and North Dakota) is willing to destroy its environment for jobs. I hate that we are so enamored of the endless, cheap, plastic crap that we buy from Asia that we are willing to risk our health and future to keep the iPhones flowing. I hate that the U.S. is apparently willing to do anything to worship at the altar of “energy independence” (except support the clean alternatives that would make us truly independent and secure). I hate that the Koch brothers exist …

But since you asked, I think the administration will approve the pipeline, mostly due to the “inevitability” factor: Not approving it will not stop the destruction. I hope I am wrong …
