Obviously the fight to stop this pipeline isn’t over yet, but this seems like an important milestone. I only hope Secretary Clinton and the State Department pay attention.

Attempting to stop fossil-fuels by attacking the supplier seems like something the industry would encourge because it is wrong-headed and will only serve to demoralize and embarrass the activists involved. No amount of moralizing can overcome the power of economics. If you want to stop fossil-fuels, end the demand system: autosprawl.
