Daryl Hannah Heading to W.H. Oil-Sands Protest

Actress and environmental advocate Daryl Hannah says she's joining a protest outside the White House against the planned Keystone XL pipeline. Hannah says the environmental movement needs to engage in "courageous acts of civil disobedience" to stop projects like the pipeline, which would bring oil-sands crude from the Canadian province of Alberta to U.S. refineries on the Gulf Coast.

Hannah, whose movie credits include Blade Runner, Splash and Kill Bill Vol. 1, spoke to energyNOW! correspondent Lee Patrick Sullivan on August 20 from the sidelines of the American Renewable Energy Day 2011 conference in Aspen, Colorado. Dozens of protestors have been arrested since the demonstration began outside the White House on August 20.

WOW. Removing petroleum from sand is mega-expensive and pollutive. Wouldn't it just be BETTER to develop a vehicle manufacturing technology that does not depend on petroleum? There are several technologies currently available but the automobile industries do not allow these technologies to reach the marketplace.
Daryl, I believe it is okay to , you know, protest in the nude.

GREAT HANNAH

good thing about this Hollywood star is that she probably never takes private jets or sits in an air conditioned 1000 sq. ft. trailer, so her carbon footprint is probably tiny.

Goddess Daryl, your Calendar shows it's high time for some Preventative Maintenance duties to be performed on you; nothing major on the list. And I am a little more than Eager to get around to cleaning your Pipelines. Yeah, babe. I shall add a Pube Inventory to my tasks, for free, of course.
