    I don’t get it :) Climate policy and a pipeline?

  2. John McCormick says:

    Might those guys be union pipe fitters and coal miners? Unreasonable?

  3. Digby Dellums says:

    Both are policy continuity via popit beads.

  4. Joan Savage says:

    I was a bit puzzled, unless I consider that climate policy is a figurative pipeline, unfinished, going nowhere at present.

    A related pipeline image is Las Vegas’ unfinished Lake Mead water tunnel project, designed to tap Lake Mead at a deeper level during drought. It’s a climate-driven pipeline venture, literally not figuratively.

      Yeah. It’s particularly clever since the missing piece for policy change is the sharp U-shaped pipe that would have been an easy turn if it only it had been planned for further in the past.

    It looked to me like liquid crude extractors vs either CCS proponents or more simply the carbon-neutral crowd.
