Okay so is Daryl Hannah convinced and -- she sit down with a TransCanada CEO let's ask actress Daryl Hannah she was arrested earlier this year.

Protests in the project in front of the White House and she joins us again now -- Barrel there was an open invitation from -- by the way he loves your work he likes you know he says he'd like to talk about a widget.

-- I'd be happy to talk to about it but you know we when you hear these facts and figures from -- you have to consider the source.

It's important to people do their research and and learn about that the truth about tar sands oil and the destructive nature of the -- since themselves as well as the bits and in which is extremely corrosive.

I mean there's you know.

Fifty miles of toxic tailing times.

You know flock of birds -- -- they die immediately.

This is poisoned people down river from it an and -- and no matter how big of a turn.

They take they're not you know avoid the -- allow I prefer which is still endangers the health and well being of American citizens -- And then of course there's that they increased carbon emissions which is that's.

You know.

Maybe at a game over a problem for our for our climate crisis.

OK but if he as he said he's dealing with 60000 homeowners right now and they they want to make sure that their living on property that's not toxic.

Don't you think they have the right I weigh in as well.

That and they have I just finished nearing a documentary that.

In interviewed all of the ranchers and farmers along the entire pipelines proposed route and they're very upset.

That a Canadian company is coming in and taking their land through eminent domain.

There are very upset because they don't want this pipeline crossing their land when they're responsible for creating.

Healthy food.

And and produce and products for American citizens and that is potentially could endanger.

Our freshwater resources -- -- More precious than than than oil.

And the that I would just went on a ride with all the tribal chiefs from the they're in their native American nations who are who's this.

This pipeline is -- -- go through their sovereign lands and they also are opposing it for.

Same reasons so.

But I don't know if in fact and again a lot of Nebraska -- have weighed in on this now and and some of rescues were against the project the original route.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Absolutely not.

If you look.

Headache.

Map of the -- -- opera for you see that it covers all of Nebraska except for a tiny little portion.

It -- -- goes into Colorado it goes through all of the states that the that the -- that the pipeline goes through and what he was telling you about the price of fuel and the availability of this fuel for Americans is absolutely not true there are already.

Refineries.

In the midwest that are processing tar sands oil right now.

This oil he wants to get down to the Gulf of Mexico -- it can be available for export which will likely cost.

Fuel price increases in them to mid western.

-- well if we don't know if we don't do our are gonna have bottom line -- for shareholders but if we don't not with our arrogance if we don't do it here they're gonna export all of it to China.

That's what they say but they're gonna have trouble getting a pipeline through to Vancouver as well.
