Americans Are Changing Course on Environmental Issues
I was on a conference call this morning on which I told the audience that the American electorate is becoming far more focused on environmental issues than they were just a few short months ago. Based on what I read and hear, I get the distinct feeling that incidents like Exxon’s tar sands spill in Arkansas are causing a lot of people to gnash their teeth in advance of the decision on the Keystone XL pipeline. Sure, there are people who just nod their heads and go along with whatever their corporate-controlled government tells them, but the good news is that there are fewer of them every single day.
It’s a race against time and money.
We don’t have much of the first, and our opponents have lots of the second.
A mass movement with guts and teeth seems the only workable answer, and desperately needed now more than ever.
