there was a spill there in 2010, the kalamazoo river. they are still trying to clean it up because it's not the pipeline, folks, it's the dirty tar sands oil that is so much more dangerous, has more heavy metals, is more carcinogenic. it's a problem. and it sinks by virtue of its weight to the bottom and they cannot clean it up. i can't believe the statement was made about how safe this is. we've seen stories that there are problems with the welding in the existing pipelines. and you know, you might want to talk to the people in arkansas. may flower, automaker -- mayflower, arkansas. do you know exxon had to buy back the homes because they couldn't be lived in anymore because this stuff spilled and contaminated an entire neighborhood. i call this the x.l., the x-tra lethal pipeline. the pipeline itself is benign. it's what's going through it and what it will release in 45% more carbon over time. 45% mortar sands than you would otherwise have. so you figure everything gets increased by that amount. you know, there's going to be more carbo

one resident living near the kalamazoo river had to abandon her home because the stench from the spill made her dizzy and nauseous and sick, classic signs of acute exposure to tar sands. another resident who was pregnant said she couldn't breathe. she said -- quote -- "my eyes were burning, my nose was burning. it smelled like a diesel tanker had turned over in the front of my house." now, you will not hear this from the proponents. the michigan spill was the largest inland spill in history and more than four years and a billion later, it is not cleaned up. this summer, parts of the kalamazoo river were closed as dredging efforts continued to remove oil from the bottom of the river. and i talked to you about arkansas. residents were exposed to benzene, a known carcinogen, hide begin sulfite. people suffered, dizziness, nausea, headaches, respiratory problems -- all classic symptoms of exposure to the chemicals found in the tar sands. there's a section of tar sands that's already been built, the pipeline, in the gulf region. it's already experiencing problems that could result in anothe

we found that with the kalamazoo tar sand spill in 2010.t spill showed that tar sands have some of the most damaging qualities, when they hit water bodies. in 2010, about 830,000 gallons of crude was spilled in michigan. over four years later, that oil spill has still contaminated 38 miles of that river and over $1 billion have been spent in attempting to remediate that spill. so once a tar sand spill happens in a water body it's very difficult to bring that water body back to the state it was before the spill. >> so and you touched on this alex. doesn't this really come down to how you feel about oil? that really is the bottom line here, correct? >> 100%. >> that's it. >> 100%. that is the issue. and so is the issue is it good for nrdc and other groups to deprive the world of oil which is by far the most affordable source of power. for transportation to be more expensive for pretty much everything in the world to be more expensive, we see that prosperity thrives when oil prices are low. >> when this pipeline is built it is supposed to do w
