Do the new estimates projecting the Keystone XL pipeline would emit four times the pollution originally predicted change your stance on the project?

    Why a pipe line? We have a glut of crude and 4 dollar diesel. Build a refinery right here ship the gas and diesel were needed or at least add to the refineries that are already operating.

    "What is sustainability, and what would it look like in your own home? There are a lot of things you can do to reduce your carbon footprint, like going vegetarian or driving an electric car, but chances are your house maybe be having a larger impact on the environment than you'd like.

    Almost half of the energy your home consumes comes from heating and air conditioning. Unless your house is completely coated in solar panels, more than half of the electricity you're using is probably generated from coal, gas and oil.

    "Green building" is an effort to curb the environmental toll of inefficient homes, and it's taking hold in the construction sector. The Huffington Post reached out to nine architects to talk about their stunning projects that are not only sustainable, but beautiful too."

    The pollution is going to be here with or without the pipeline. This pipeline oil or expensive overseas oil, its still going to be used. Everyone is trying to shut down coal burning also. Without a viable alternative to coal and oil, there will be an economic disaster. One thing at a time people...

    I still find it hard to believe that there are still some that think this pipeline is worth the cost of the pollution. Maybe when they are laying on a hospital bed tied to various machines that do everything for them, they will wish they thought more for the planet instead of their pockets!
