Hands join in oppositionto the Keystone XL alongthe pedestrian bridge

BY PAIGE YOWELL

WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER

Protesters joined hands Satur-day on the Bob Kerrey Pedes-trian Bridge in opposition to theKeystone XL pipeline.

The event was part of a na-tional protest — “Hands Acrossthe Sand” — in more than 40states and was organized nation-ally by the Sierra Club, Oceanaand other groups protesting thedamage fossil fuels can have onthe environment.

“Because (the bridge) is overthe river, we’re making thepoint that we want to protectour water,” said local organizerMargaret Mainelli.

About 230 people took part inthe protest.

Another organizer, Jane Wil-son, said the goal was to showsupport for alternative energysources such as solar and windenergy rather than fossil fuels.

“Our local view is we don’twant tar sands through ourstate,” Wilson said.

The Keystone XL wouldcarry oil from tar sands fields inAlberta, Canada, to Gulf Coastrefineries. The pipeline wouldcross Nebraska.

The Obama administrationhas postponed a final decisionon the pipeline, which the StateDepartment has been studyingfor more than five years, pend-ing resolution of a NebraskaSupreme Court case brought bylandowners that could affect theroute.

Mark Vondrasek rode his biketo the protest, which began atthe Omaha base of the bridgewith an anti-Keystone XL pipe-line song by Matt Cronin.

Vondrasek said he hopes Re-publican U.S. Rep. Lee Terry ofOmaha is listening.

“It’s a threat to our agricul-tural economy in Nebraska,” hesaid of the pipeline.

But the mainmessage hehoped to con-vey was sup-port for moreinvestment inwind and solarenergy in thestate.

The pipeline“is not some-

thing I’m interested in. It’s notworth the risk,” he said.

A spokesman for Terry saidthe congressman is listening

— to the people along the routewho want the pipeline and toprojections that it would create42,000 new jobs.

“It makes sense for job cre-ation, economic growth and tostrengthen our nation’s energysecurity,” said Larry Farns-worth, the spokesman.

Farnsworth also said the StateDepartment found that the pipe-line would have no significantimpact on climate change.
