A Line in the Tar Sands

By use of a PowerPoint presentation, we will review the recent history of the Keystone XL pipeline which originates in the Alberta, Canada tar sands. We will examine both sides of the issue. Does tar sand oil bring energy independence, energy security, lower fuel prices, and jobs to the US, or will it usher in climate change Armageddon? The Department of State recently completed its report which will assist the President in making his final decision. Join us as we examine the evidence on "the line drawn in the (tar) sands.
