Again that is.
Interesting to note the club is willing to lift it's ban over the XL.
47 others arrested as well.
Meanwhile in New York, a delay.
Can we make that permanent?

I couldn't get through either, but I do have a Credo phone.
Social pressure is the cornerstone of everything. Its the main ingredient.
Many people last night were focused on getting the right people elected ( as in, campaigning for the people that the Dem party chose for us). But without social pressure, theres no reason to move on anything.
If social pressure increased on say, fracking in NY, there wouldnt be a delay. It would be an outright ban.
That being said, good to see people getting involved again. SElf governance is hard work, and boots on the ground are the hardest pieces to get.
It's a cross national issue.

Theres no way they already signed off on the first part, and wont sign off on the second, thus making all the plans for the first irrelevant.
At this point, I figure the pipeline is a go (theres already one running from Canada to Texas, they just want this one to go straight through instead of following the path of the other one, which is a bit wind-y).
Fracking on the other hand, theres still a chance for New Yorkers, esp upstate-ers, to stop this.
Just my opinion.
We're talking dilbit here.
It's bigger than the US. or even Texas.
