Robert Redford: Republicans ‘Living In The 1950’s’ On The Environment
Click here for reuse options!The Oscar-winner took particular aim at Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in the Senate, who has been a champion of the coal industry.
“He represents the polluters’ interest because he is living in the 1950s,” Redford told Variety. He added that the bespectacled 72-year-old senator “looks like he just slid out from under a rock”.
Redford, who is 78, is a regular contributor to America’s polarised political debate over the environment but has been especially forthright in his opposition to the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline…Redford deployed an argument often used by American environmentalists: that tar sand oil is particularly toxic and the Keystone project would be of much greater benefit to Canada than the US.
“We are putting our environment at risk to ship dirty oil, the benefits would go to another country because it is all going to be exported,” he said.

I( finally broke down and watched the movie where he gets lost at sea on the boat. I never was a big Redford fan, but that was a good movie.

“All is Lost” It was a really good movie, and you can watch it without any sound. (Good movie for 2 AM eating Ben and Jerry’s next to sleeping spouse. Oh Yeah!)

Canada gets the money, America takes the risk and China gets the oil.

Here we go again with a rich Hollywood liberal who most likely has a large carbon footprint criticizing others over the environment. A few questions I would like answered. How many homes does he own? How big are they? How many cars and what types? Does he fly the airlines or a private jet?

“Here we go again with a rich Hollywood liberal”
Robert Redford lives in Sundance Utah. Try reading something once in a while. Spewing your idiotic right wing bumper stickers makes you appear incredibly stupid.
Now as far as what sort of transportation he uses, why don’t you try doing a little research and tell us?
It’s what adults do when they are trying to prove a point.
