Thanks for the post. I wasn't aware that the Nebraska governor actually supports the pipeline. I certainly hope that was the reason for the delay and not the shrill voices of pampered Hollywood twits. You are certainly right that the environmental movement has nowhere else to go with its votes, short of abstaining from voting or starting a one issue party ala the Greens.
