Meet Audrey and Jim Thornton, two of the landowners who have the threat of a Canadian tarsands pipeline proposed to run through their land. Tarsands crude is many times more concentrated with toxins and carcinogens than typical, Texas, crude oil. Like just about every other land-owner along the pipeline route, the Thorntons have been threatened with eminent domain if they do not sign a deal with TransCanada – the company building the pipeline.
Interview with the Thorntons:
Like most people, the Thorntons don’t think it is right that a foreign company can come into the United States (and Texas) and use the threat of eminent domain to force landowners into a contract. And, like many others, the Thorntons have quickly learned the vast extent of the negative impacts such a pipeline would have not only on folks like them, but the world in general.

The locations where the distillates of tar junk crude is oxidized-combusted
is where alternative solutions need to known about and implemented. The compulsive magnification of the junk extraction and resultant emissions fills the
atmosphere like horse manure had excessively polluted and scummed city streets.
The most effective alternative is a harmonic adaption, and inhalement with
the thermal cycle path of heat as can be managed by the Atmospheric Vortex
Engine, which deployes the natural and wilded process of atmospheric work
that obtains from particular heat-cold convection. The deployment is the
designed and controlled vortex which simulates the native wilding for obtaining
some of that work into well being and becoming. The AVE is transitional for
fossile and expansive to implementation as an iPad.
