Julia Louis-Dreyfus Asks Obama to Halt Keystone XL Tar Sands Pipeline (Video)
Treehugger.com ^ | 11/4/11 | Brian Merchant

Earlier this week, Obama revealed that he was at least considering delaying or denying the Keystone XL, the controversial pipeline that would carry tar sands oil from Canada to the Texas Gulf Coast. His hesitance to approve the pipeline is no doubt thanks the enormous tide of opposition that has risen up against it. From every green group on the books to impacted indigenous peoples to a cadre of outspoken celebrity activists, the opponents of Keystone XL have been gaining momentum indeed.

The latest and perhaps most unexpected celebrity to come out swinging at the Obama administration is Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the actress most famous for playing Elaine on Seinfeld. She's recorded a video with the Tar Sands Action campaign asking Obama to turn down the proposed pipeline, and has announced that she'll be attending the massive protest at the White House in Washington D.C. this weekend.

Remember: Julia Louis-Dreyfus is part of the 1%!

Well, the kooks won: they convinced Hussein to punt. Really, did ANYONE expect Hussein to promote ANY type of energy independence for the western hemisphere? Gimme a break.

Even if it did say "yes", this regime would have countered the grant with additional taxes and regulations.

By the way, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, worth millions, probably had a lot of petroleum products used in the construction of TWO HOMES:


This one is in Pacific Palisades, California.


And of course what is life without a second BEACHFRONT home? Julia and her hubby have this second place in Santa Barbara, California...you know, for fun.

The overwhelming majority of energy policies, particularly when implemented by the energy companies themselves, are “intelligent”.

I say that all those pampered Hollywood stars should only be paid minimum wage and have to live in inner city government housing since ACTING is not real work...The Romans had it right in their social system where the actors were the scum at the bottom of the social order...

Yeah, her father is the CEO of the Louis Dreyfus Group which is, according to Wikipedia, “a diversified French private company that is involved in agriculture and energy commodities (global processing, trading and merchandising).” Looks like it’s a family-owned company since 1851.

She did it the old fashioned way - she inherited it.

Her politics aren’t very good. I mean, they aren’t up to the level as her dancing.
