Dear Friends,<\/p>\n

About 48 hours ago, I told you we\u2019d have a clearer picture of what was going on with the pipeline fight in 48 hours.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was wrong, mistaken, and also incorrect. As it stands now, things in Washington couldn\u2019t be muddier. The Senate, with the White House\u2019s consent, passed a payroll tax cut plan with a rider attached that would have forced a speedy review of Keystone. That sounds bad — except that spokespeople from the Obama administration said quite bluntly that if they were forced to do a quick review they\u2019d deny the permit.<\/p>\n

That sounds good — except that now the Tea Party caucus in the House has decided they don\u2019t want the payroll tax cut, and they do want the Senate to come back to DC for more talks, and\u2026you get the drift. At least for the moment, Keystone is flotsam on the unchartable tides of DC politics.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re monitoring it as closely as we can, and if anything definitive emerges from the money-filled rooms, or if there\u2019s any obvious action that you can take beyond all the emailing and phone-calling to date, we\u2019ll tell you immediately.<\/strong> Keep an eye on your email inbox, please — and in the meantime we\u2019ll be posting play-by-play updates to our Twitter feed<\/a> and our Facebook page.<\/a> You can also join our rapid-response mobile network by using your cell phone to text the word “PLUGIN” to the number 50555.*<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s one thing that\u2019s emerged more plainly with each passing day. Right now in Washington, money rules. Sooner or later Big Oil will ram Keystone, and fracking, and a thousand other bad ideas down our throats unless we manage to change the system. That\u2019s what we\u2019re going to have to work on next year if we have any hope of ever bringing climate change under control. I think part of the problem is: we\u2019ve come to feel that money\u2019s hammerlock on policy is sad but completely inevitable. We\u2019ve let ourselves be cynical, which is understandable (the Capitol should have an Exxon sign out front, and a couple of pumps, and a grubby bathroom) but also a bit weak.<\/p>\n

Instead, I think we need to stand up for a certain kind of na\u00efvet\u00e9. We need to say it\u2019s not right that the 234 House members who voted for Keystone last week had taken $42 million in dirty energy money. It\u2019s no different than if before next weekend\u2019s Patriots-Miami game, the owner of the Dolphins trotted out to midfield and handed each referee ten grand. It stinks.<\/p>\n

Next year, we\u2019ll be delivering this message to Representatives and Senators everywhere: if the energy industry is giving you presents, you shouldn\u2019t be giving them presents back.<\/strong> Not with our money, not with our landscape, and not with our planet. You’ve given us a lot of suggestions in the last couple of weeks about how to take on the money pollution that corrupts our political system — but if you have more send them in to “ideas@350.org.” And rest up over the holidays because we’re going to need you in fighting trim come 2012.<\/p>\n

Apologies again for misleading you about how quickly we\u2019d know the score in DC. I underestimated, not for the first and not for the last time, how screwed up the place really is. But we can do something about that. And we will. <\/p>\n

Onwards,<\/p>\n

Bill McKibben for the whole team at 350.org<\/p>\n
