Pipelines or Oil Trains? No Thanks: I’ll take clean energy

February 10, 2017

This week, I had the honor to be a panel member on a webcast along with Winona LaDuke of Honor the Earth and Jane Kleeb from Bold Alliance. We were looking at pipelines and oil trains and lessons learned from successful fights to stop both—and how to continue to succeed with a hostile Trump Administration in power. Winona and Jane provided smart, clear-eyed explanations of what’s at stake with both the Dakota Access and Keystone XL pipeline fights.

For many of us dealing with the oil industry, our neighbors and friends are asking us the same question: “Well, if you oppose pipelines, do you support oil trains?” or “If you oppose oil trains, then you’re in favor of pipelines, right?”
