Now that we’re back from the black-out, it’s only appropriate to congratulate Bill McKibben of 350.org and, from a different perspective, President Obama, on rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline.

This one decision won’t turn-back time on Climate Change, and there is a very real threat that Keystone will ride again; but every victory is a step in the right direction and is to be celebrated.

If President Obama truly wants to put some air between him and his science-denying opponents, this is a good place to do it.  

So here’s “Hoping” for a kick-ass lame-duck presidency in which positive “Change” really does finally come to pass.  

You can count on us to be poised with pitchforks if it doesn’t.
