Thousands Rally In D.C. Against Keystone Pipeline

Thousands of protesters took to the National Mall on Sunday for a climate rally that organizers touted as the largest of its kind in U.S. history. The group’s top priority was to urge President Barack Obama to reject the proposed Keystone XL pipeline that would carry tar sands from Canada through the United States.

“When you are in a hole stop digging. Above all, stop the keystone pipeline. The president can do that with the stroke of his pen,” said Bill McKibben, founder of the environmental activist group 350.org.

Although the crowd count could not be independently confirmed, organizers estimated nearly 40,000 people from across the country descended on the nation’s capital to gather near the Washington Monument and then march to the White House for the “Forward on Climate” rally.

  1. It's amazing how callous these people are with rising unemployment and skyrocketing debt to try to keep job growth away. Really sad.

  2. It's also amazing that these people think that wind, solar, etc.. are the answers... but they never have an answer when you say "where's the electricity when there is no wind, no sun.. and no battery technology to store energy.

    Just stupid people who have no rational ideas and basically want us to go back to the stone age.. just to prove a point.

    Let them go to an island and eat coconuts--now that's natural living

  8. Does everyone get that Keystone currently ends in the US, the extension brings it down to the Gulf and out to the world market?
