Sam Avery, author of The Pipeline & the Paradigm on Simple Life Radio

Samual Avery is a certified solar installer, social activist, history buff, and author of The Pipeline and The Paradigm, Keystone XL, Tar Sands, and the Battle to Defuse the Carbon Bomb. "The Keystone XL Pipeline will become a monumental clash of economic and ecological interests.  How you understand the tar sand pipeline depends on where you are looking from as much as what you are looking at." 
 All the little aspects of this big picture, have real people attached to them.  The people who drive the backhoes, the welders too.  Administrators of the many businesses involved. the farmers and rural residents; have their own perspectives and conflicts about this issue.  Sam, took a year off; to meet these people and hear their perspective.  He shares with us today and in his book, just what that adds up to.
