Guarding the Ogallala Synopsis
The danger posed by Keystone Pipeline XL has turned Nebraska rancher Bruce Boettcher into a hardcore activist. He spent thousands of dollars of his own money to produce radio ads against the pipeline. Bruce's fight has taken him from life on a ranch to joining millions in Washington, DC voicing their opposition to Keystone. In this episode we explore why Keystone Pipeline XL has ignited passion across this country. Journey OnEarth follows correspondent Roshini Thinakaran, a National Geographic Emerging Explorer, as she reports about the people most impacted by pollution, oil spills, toxic chemicals, and communities coping with climate change across the country.

Kerry: Reject Keystone XL Proposal Once and For All
Care2 Petition: Kerry: Reject Keystone XL Proposal Once and For All
The Keystone XL pipeline would pump oil from Alberta's tar sands to refineries on the Texas Coast. Tar sands oil is one of the dirtiest fossil fuels on earth. It takes an immense amount of energy - and thus lots of emissions - to even collect the oil. In its raw form it's incredibly corrosive, putting added pressure on any pipeline it travels through and increasing the chance for a devastating spill. This is not the kind of energy solution we need, but the project is already underway in Texas. But, because the pipeline crosses national borders, it requires approval from the state department. New Secretary of State John Kerry knows more dirty oil isn't worth the investment. Tell Kerry to reject the Keystone XL pipeline. Learn More »
