Steyer knocks Trump after Keystone pipeline spill

Billionaire Democratic donor Tom Steyer sharply criticized President Trump on Thursday after news reports that the Keystone XL pipeline leaked hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil in South Dakota.

In a statement Thursday, Steyer ripped the Trump administration for the decision to revive the pipeline, which he said would "endanger people and wildlife" living around it.

"It's simple — more pipelines means more oil spills. Obtaining our energy from fossil fuels is dangerous, and everyday Americans suffer the consequences," Steyer said.

"Trump's revival of the Keystone XL pipeline will continue to endanger the people and wildlife that live around it."

And we could use a few more willing to put their money on the line. I know that there are other wealthy people out there who share our concerns and have the means to speak out. Kudos to Steyer!
