New Ad Details Sanders'
Stand Against Big Oil
BURLINGTON,
Vt.
–
U.S.
Sen.
Bernie Sanders’
stand
against
the proposed Bakken oil
pipeline in Iowa is the focus of a new television ad set to begin airing on
Wednesday in Iowa. Sanders is
the
only
candidate
to
oppose
the
pipeline, which would pump dirty crude
oil across Iowa.
In the 30-second ad, two Iowa farmers explain that they support Sanders because “he stands up
against the pipeline.”
“Bernie Sanders didn't
hesitate
to
say
no
to
the
big oil companies,” George Naylor of Churdan,
Iowa, says. “Bernie knows that if we don’t act we threaten the climate
and the health of our children,” Patti Edwardson
adds.
“Bernie Sanders has
the guts to just stand up for what he believes in,” Edwardson concludes.
Sanders first
voiced his opposition to the pipeline, which would transport up to
570,000 barrels of crude oil daily through 18 Iowa counties, in
November. Sanders noted
at
the
time
that
he
was
“opposed to the construction of the Bakken
crude oil pipeline because as a nation, our job is to break our
addiction to fossil fuels, and not increase our dependence on oil, coal
and other carbon pollution sources.”
Sanders was
also the first candidate to oppose the Keystone XL pipeline and the
Northeast Energy Direct pipeline in New Hampshire. He has pledged to
accelerate the transition to clean energy as president by ending all
new federal leases for fossil fuel extraction on public lands and
waters.
