To me, looking above and below the fold, try to capture the reality that the fossil fuel
industry extracting carbon molecules from the Canadian boreal forest (e.g., Tar Sands) will make more
money if Keystone XL gets built and those increased profits will, in essence, be the equivalent of picking the
pockets of Americans who currently are benefitting from a «discounted»
oil price.
They use
oil industry money to promote their cause if they can get hold of it, but generally this
money goes into promoting the cause, not their own
pockets, the number of denialist sites on the web attest to how far this
money is made to go.
