today. it is green is week here at nbc universal. one thing that has set up a political fire storm is a proposed oil pipeline. a project postponed by the obama administration many say to avoid an election year fight. the defense council opposes the pipeline plan and one in favor join me at the table. bob, what is wrong with a pipeline that will bring hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil a day down to the gulf for refining and potentially make us more energy independent of imports from the persian gulf which has all the foreign policy implications. it won t make us financially more secure.
