He's not saying they would stop. Rather, the decreased costs/transit time of having a pipeline would encourage them to increase the extraction of tar sands, thus expanding the use of them. He never said that rejecting keystone would stop, it would simply limit the growth. Clean energy is actually feasible, it's simply not preferable for most given that the infrastructure is already in place for carbon-based fuels, and not for renewables.

I don't think they need to be providing a solution. The construction of the pipeline crosses preserved land, will increase the amount of oil being extracted and used, and lock these companies into continually using the source of tar-sands. Their solution is simply not to construct the pipeline, and not allow oil companies' profits to determine US policy.

The transportation process is one of the least contributors to the emissions involved. The pipeline will encourage more growth in the tar sands extraction, increasing the amount of oil dug up and used, and thus increasing emissions far past the decrease in transportation costs. http://www.newrepublic.com/article/116644/blocking-keystone-xl-really-would-help-slow-climate-change

Hang drums are awesome. You're pretty good, I've only ever listened to Daniel Waples https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBiVq2MsCbs and hang massive.
