"The movement is “more than just Standing Rock — it is about the world.” In that sense, the protests underscore the need to shift the nation’s dependence on fossil fuels toward alternative, renewable energy sources. Doing so would require corporations such as ETP to stop profiting off the future of people’s livelihoods." Hooray for all the protests against Energy Transfer Partners around the country, including Sane Energy Project's reading and presentation of documentary filmmaker, Lee Ziesche's recently published article about Camp White Pine and the Gerhart family's fight against ETP's Mariner East 2 pipeline, along with spreading information about Chase bank's investments in ETP.

"Now, around the world, solar energy costs about 8 cents a kilowatt hour. That's down 70 percent since 2010, and those costs are going to continue to come down as we develop the technology."

“Huge pieces of floating tar were burdening the waves, dead fish floated on the surface,” Ms. Simou said." "The Hellenic Register of Shipping, an independent organization that oversees shipping safety, said that the tanker had not been certified as seaworthy, although its owner, Fos Petroleum, said that it had all of the proper credentials. The Greek Ministry of Shipping and Island Policy did not respond to several requests for information." There are so many problems with everything that happened regarding this oil spill from the tanker sinking, not least of which is that the oil should have stayed in the ground in the first place.
