All pipelines leak; even a small leak can have devastating environmental impacts.
Allowing the continued use and construction of these dangerous contraptions places the American environment, natural resources and people to be placed in the line of an unavoidable, eventual disaster that could have devastating local effects for decades.
The continued use and permittance of these pipelines also undermines the President's commitment to renewable and sustainable sources of energy and jeopardizes the current, and future progress towards a clean and sustainable energy future.
We, the American People, raise our voices against oil and natural gas pipelines, and demand the President do the same by putting forth legislation to ban all devices of such kind.
