I also, just sent this comment to Regulations.gov and to President Obama, at the White House.

I was inspired by a diary from Kossack, Little One. My Letter to Sasha and Malia Keystone XL Public Comments Blogathon by TheLittleOne
Comments Must Be Submitted By No Later Than; Tomorrow, Friday March 7, 2014, At 11:59 pm(EST). This Is The Close Of The Public Comments Against The Keystone Pipeline.
So I figured I'd send Pres Obama more of my feelings against this pipeline and other environmental issues.
This is the comment I sent all the other times. No keystone xl pipeline, No tar sands either And Say No, to spectra gas pipeline in NJ/NYC!
This time I wrote
Dear President Obama,
Please say no to the keystone xl pipeline. It is an absolute horror!
Also, we have to convince Canada to stop the Alberta tar sands operation.
What is going on when some people think that destroying the land like that is ok?
Is Canada so poor that they have to turn into; worse than China, (ecologically speaking)?
Cannot the Canadian Politicians see that Canada's land is pretty much all they have as assets and there isn't enough money in this tar sands; to irreversibly, irreparably, destroy all of their, Pristine Boreal Forest?
Cannot these politicians see; the amount of toxic pollution, that is already, spreading in the rest of Canada?
Tar sands is a finite resource. It will run out and all Canada will have; is, a gigantic hell-scape!
Don't let America be covered in Canada's pipelines that will only age and add more problems to our US infrastructure.
As things are, we have to stop what's going on right here in America and put an end to ecological monstrosities like natural gas fracking, (and covering the entire United States, in high pressure gas transportation pipelines to transport this fracked gas), strip mining coal, etc and get tougher regulations on big energy companies and "their industrial accidents", plus, so much more.
America needs to be busy cleaning up the industrial pollution we already have, from the past 100 years, we don't need to import more.
It's bad out there! Fukshima, radiation wafting towards our Pacific Coast.
We have one mountain left in Appalachia that hasn't been reduced to rubble. Coal River Mountain Watch Save Coal River Mountain!
Big energy plans to frack Pennsylvania's pristine farmland for the next 30 years and other states too. They are disposing of this toxic waste in any State they can get to take it, all over the US.
Big energy; will destroy the United States piece by piece, inch by inch, if we don't stop them now!
You're a great President, I know you will say no to the tar sands pipeline. You have a lot of common sense President Obama. I'm very glad I voted for you.
Sincerely,
Georgia Atkins

I saw this on the Evening Blues, Kossack, Joe Shikspack
And I'm Shocked!
The Obama administration to speed up approvals to sell U.S. natural gas overseas, the Energy Department on Monday authorized exports from a proposed Oregon terminal. The Clackamas River-liquified natural gas pipeline, Oregon
Even with an export license in hand, companies must also secure approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, clear environmental reviews and obtain other permits.
They also need to attract capital for the expensive projects and line up customers willing to ink 20-year-contracts for super-chilled, liquefied natural gas carried on tankers around the globe.
Unlike other LNG terminals that would be built at existing import facilities; Jordan Cove would be a newly built, greenfield project, sited on an undeveloped stretch inside the Port of Coos Bay, (Coos Bay wikipedia), designed to take advantage of gas from the Rockies.
Looks like another Federal lawsuit, in Oregon.
Status of NJ/NYC-spectra natural gas pipeline? Being decided by Federal Appeals Court.
