I don't know if you posted this, Nnuut- but the XL Pipeline people and the Lakota tribe in South Dakota had a run-in yesterday.

Lakota grandmother Debra White Plume's comment and Andrew Iron Shell's photos, after their release from jail tonight:

CENSORED NEWS: Lakota arrests underway halting tarsands pipeline trucks

An action alert was sent out shortly before the arrests: "Calling all Lakota men on the Pine Ridge Reservation to come to Wanblee, South Dakota."
The alert said "Pipeline trucks are being held there at the border by our Lakota Oyate, Oglala Sioux
Tribal Police and State Troopers in an effort to keep them from entering our territory.
Even the state troopers told the trucks they have to turn around and cannot bring their
pipeline or other materials on to our reservation."

"Pipeline trucks are refusing to turn around claiming they have corporate rights that supersede any other law."
Reports from the scene say that the trucks are being allowed to pass, as Lakotas are being arrested attempting to halt the
trucks from entering their sovereign territory."

OK, no gas for the Lakota. I can imagine that if the Pipeline goes through the tribe will be compensated for violating their private countries border.

Low U.S. natural gas prices currently give the U.S. manufacturing sector a slight competitive cost edge that could enable the country to create the 20 million jobs in the next decade.
Now, the biggest challenge facing the U.S. is not screwing up this opportunity, according to a panel of industry officials speaking at IHS CERAWeek in Houston on Tuesday.

Oil Sands, Not Sand Hills Behind Keystone Opposition

Opposition to the Keystone pipeline project is really about climate politics, not concerns about the pipeline's route through Nebraska's Sand Hills, said energy industry officials during a Tuesday morning sessions at the IHS CERAWeek energy conference in Houston.

Alex Pourbaix, president of energy and oil pipelines for TransCanada, noted that opponents have been using "hyberbole and lies" to try and block the project, and said that allegations that the oil would be corrosive to pipelines and would put out significantly more greenhouse gas emissions than conventional oil were false.

It seems that the Grid can't keep up, how about in the reverse, do you think it can keep up with demand? NOT!
Wind farms in Pacific Northwest paid to not produce

Wind farms in the Pacific Northwest -- built with government subsidies and maintained with tax credits for every megawatt produced -- are now getting paid to shut down as the federal agency charged with managing the region's electricity grid says there's an oversupply of renewable power at certain times of the year.
The problem arose during the late spring and early summer last year. Rapid snow melt filled the Columbia River Basin. The water rushed through the 31 dams run by the Portland, Ore.-based Bonneville Power Administration allowing for peak hydropower generation. At the very same time, the wind howled leading to maximum wind power production.

Demand could not keep up with supply, so BPA shut down the wind farms for nearly 200 hours over 38 days.
"It's the one system in the world where in real time, moment to moment, you have to produce as much energy as is being consumed," BPA spokesman Doug Johnson said of the renewable energy.
