Billionaire to raise pressure on Keystone

By Laura Barron-Lopez


Billionaire Tom Steyer plans to renew his fight against Keystone XL in Washington on Monday.

NextGen Climate Action, founded by Steyer, will host a summit where participants will argue the Keystone XL pipeline proposed by TransCanada Corp. cannot pass President Obama's climate test.

In June, Obama said he would not approve Keystone if it “significantly exacerbates” carbon emissions.

Since its launch in early 2013, Steyer's climate group has been a loud voice on the climate issue.

The group touts an online community of roughly 300,000.

Steyer wants to make sure climate change becomes a “dinner table” conversation for the nation’s families, Casey said.

In June, Steyer wrote an open letter to Obama that highlighted his opposition to Keystone, and his intention to ask supporters of Obama to pressure the president on the issue.

1. Finally! One of the billionaires gets it!

The problem is so serious that at least half of their philanthropy dollars should go to fighting global warming.! Byt the time the rest wake up it might be too late.
