corridor to Asia, yet not one project
has been built. That’s why it’s been
dubbed the “thin green line—where
energy projects go to die.” Citizens,

oust decisionmakers who risk our
health and safety. Even just delaying
projects, through lawsuits and
regulatory snags, can cost companies
enough that they decide to bail on
their own. So take heart. We’re going
to keep our kids safe from big oil’s
right now, with clear goals and
shrewd strategy. And by doing it
together, we’ll make sure it’s a lot of
fun.
