Being Green is ‘doing’ green out-of-doors this spring “According to the Environmental Protection agency, Americans burn 800 million gallons of gas each year trimming their grassy yards. One gas mower running for an hour emits the same amount of pollutants as eight new cars driving 55 mph for the same amount of time.” Union of Concerned Scientists“Only by moving away from fossil fuels can we both ensure a more robust economic outlook and address the challenges of climate change.

“I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait 'til oil and coal run out before we tackle that”.Thomas Edison (1847–1931) “When we burn fossil fuels and release the CO2 into the atmosphere, we are saying “I am willing to impose tremendous climate risk on future generations living throughout the world, so that I personally can be 2% richer today.” I believe this to be fundamentally immoral.” Ken Caldeira, Stanford University Canada’s climate…See More

Douglas Nadler commented on Douglas Nadler's blog post 'Using confrontational words makes Canada’s government a bully.'""Getting people living basically like we do in Canada should be the priority" Tom, that is the problem when countries like Canada take everything and destroy the rest of the world. Our ecological footprint is so huge that (if we…"
Douglas Nadler commented on Douglas Nadler's blog post 'Using confrontational words makes Canada’s government a bully.'"I'd certainly agree wholeheartedly that the politics of ethanol production makes it a tragic mistake. As well, sanitation for over a billion plus people is a critical injustice to the poorest on the planet. "Making everyone rich…"
Tom Andersen commented on Douglas Nadler's blog post 'Using confrontational words makes Canada’s government a bully.'"Pipelines are the safest way to move oil. There are thousands of miles of large pipelines in Ontario alone, more if you count natural gas, etc - yet no one seems to be 'dying/sick/even noticing' them.
For the record, I don't…"
Douglas Nadler commented on Douglas Nadler's blog post 'Using confrontational words makes Canada’s government a bully.'"I do agree with you that it should not have been 'barrels"; that is unfortunate but as you say, a lot of oil spilt plus the massive amount of contaminated water and soil that still has not been cleaned up.
To say that pipelines are…"
Tom Andersen commented on Douglas Nadler's blog post 'Using confrontational words makes Canada’s government a bully.'"Using your number, (which is likely wrong by up to 50% or so, and agrees pretty well with Enbridges number of 819,000 gallons), its still about 4 million LITRES not barrels, so thats an error of 168 TIMES in your article.
I won't put…"
Douglas Nadler commented on Douglas Nadler's blog post 'Using confrontational words makes Canada’s government a bully.'"Interesting that the amount of oil and the economic benefits is what you target. Take a look at what the EPA had to say. "1,139,000 gallons of oil are estimated to have been contained in the contaminated waste streams generated by…"
Tom Andersen commented on Douglas Nadler's blog post 'Using confrontational words makes Canada’s government a bully.'"The amount of oil spilled in Michigan is exaggerated 200 times in this article. It was 3.3 million litres, not 4 million barrels.
Its perfectly legal for Oil to be moved by rail or truck through B.C. This will happen unless the pipeline is…"

Douglas Nadler posted a blog postCracking the Myths of the Methane Industry: Come out and see “Gasland
Cracking the Myths of the Methane Industry: Come out and see “Gasland”“Hydraulic fracturing or fracking is a means of natural gas extraction employed in deep natural gas well drilling. Once a well is drilled, millions of gallons of water, sand and proprietary chemicals are injected, under high pressure, into a well. The pressure fractures the shale and props open fissures that enable natural gas to flow more freely out of the well.” Josh Fox, Film maker of the documentary, Gasland…See More
