PIRatE Lab's insight:
A great piece that jives with almost most of my colleague's (and my own) concerns with this anti-fact, anti-science, pro-pollution administrator just appointed to head the EPA last week. The only key area left out is the impact on the culture of the agency: his appointment is likely to drive more effective, objective public servants from the system via frustration and inaction/inability to meet their public mandates.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska's highest court threw out a challenge Friday to a proposed route for the Keystone XL oil pipeline, even though a majority of judges agreed the landowners who sued should have won their case.…
PIRatE Lab's insight:
Environmentalists and other opponents of the pipeline have highlighted the potential for extraction and transport of crude from Canada’s tar sands to contaminate water, pollute air, and harm wildlife. But the congressional republicans, the oil industry, and other pipeline backers argue that Keystone will lead to jobs and increase oil independence as well as strengthen bonds with Canada. Er...or maybe we should say would lead to perhaps 2,000-3,000 temporary jobs for perhaps 2 years.
“Boosting American-made energy results in more American jobs and improved international relations," said Rep. Leonard Lance. "This is a winning combination for our Nation’s economy, our national security and a centerpiece in our relationship with our ally, Canada.”
Rep. Adam Smith had a different take: “Rather than focusing on Keystone XL, we should be working on bigger picture investments in clean energy and energy efficient technologies that will reduce our dependence on fossil fuels that hurt our environment.”
