Environmental activists released a video this week taking on Rep. Steve Lynch for his support of the Keystone XL Pipeline. Created by the production company, Portal-A, the video portrays TransCanada Oil Executives endorsing Rep. Steve Lynch in the upcoming Senate election.
Lynch has been a big supporter of the Pipeline, already voting twice in favor of it. Keystone would pump some of the dirtiest oil in the world down to Gulf Coast refineries, and then exported to China. Oil leaks from existing pipelines have already devastated the Canadian environment and economy. And thanks to Rep. Lynch, the Keystone pipeline would pump dirty oil across 2,000 miles of the Midwestern US, threatening agricultural farmlands and rivers.
The group also created a fake Change.org petition from TransCanada CEO, Russ Girling calling for the video to be taken down and environmentalists to stop their “dirty tricks.”
Pretty funny stuff, if it wasn’t so scary…
