Hundreds of people have been arrested in Minnesota in ongoing protests against Line 3, a pipeline that will move Canadian tar sands oil, and which could be operational as soon as this month.\xa0\nPipeline advocates, like Mike Fernandez of Enbridge (Line 3\u2019s builder), argue that as long as people are still using oil, we need a way to transport it \u2014 and pipelines are the safest, least carbon-intensive means of doing so. Opponents, like Sierra Club\u2019s Kelly Sheehan Martin, argue that oil companies bolster markets for oil and gas as a way to justify continued profits from building pipelines and extracting oil. Sheehan Martin argues that to seriously address the climate crisis, we need to keep the oil in the ground, and listen to the voices of those worried about harm to waterways and tribal lands.\xa0\nWhy have oil pipelines become such a point of contention in the environmental movement? And what can all sides agree on to work toward the same less-carbon-reliant future?\nGuests:\nMike Fernandez, Senior Vice President, Public Affairs, Communications & Sustainability, Enbridge\nDaniel Raimi, Fellow, Resources for the Future\nKelly Sheehan Martin, Senior Director of Energy Campaigns, Sierra Club\nLearn more about your ad choices.
