You know how the KXL pipeline has been called “Game Over” for climate change? That’s because if it goes through, burning the tar sands oil it would carry would put so much carbon in the air so quickly that climate change would accelerate faster than we and most species will ever be able adapt to. Ever. Hell on earth will come even sooner than it already seems to be coming.

And do you know why we still don’t have a pipeline? Because the northern leg is tied up in legal battles, thanks primarily to a grassroots bipartisan organization called Bold Nebraska.

Bold Nebraska got Dave Domina, Nebraska’s toughest trial attorney, to represent three landowners on the pipeline route. Domina filed Thompson v. Heineman challenging the state governor's right to select and approve the pipeline’s route.

And he won.

5. Wonderful! A victory over greed and stupidty.

I'd kind of like Earth to be habitable, even if it means not having oil, natural gas, nuclear power, or coal. Maybe I'm in the minority.
