NEBRASKA VS. KEYSTONE XL:
BUILD OUR ENERGY FUTURE

Donate now to help build a wind turbine and solar-powered barn directly inside the Keystone XL pipeline route.

Dear Pipeline Fighter,
This summer, we need your help to declare our independence from tarsands and stand up for our future, by literally building our own clean energy in Nebraska. Bold Nebraska is partnering with Sierra Club, 350 and Nebraska Farmers Union on some "barn-raising" renewable energy projects: with the local community's help, we'll install a wind turbine and solar-powered barn on land directly inside the proposed Keystone XL pipeline route.

If President Obama approves Keystone XL, he'll then have to tear down these clean and locally-produced energy sources to make way for dirty and foreign tarsands.

Donate $50 now to help us build our energy future, and we'll put your name on the solar-powered barn.
The Build Our Energy project is part of "Summer Heat," a series of actions planned across the country this summer by a coalition formed to "turn up the heat" against the fossil fuel industry. In order to build these renewable energy projects in Nebraska, we need to raise $65,000 over the next two months. We're also welcoming folks who want to come out to central Nebraska on a weekend this summer to help with the physical construction of the wind turbine and solar-powered barn, and then celebrate the day's hard work with us at a community BBQ.

Can we count on you to join us in Nebraska this summer to help literally Build Our Energy future? Click here for details and sign-up to volunteer.

This is the summer of the Pipeline Fighter declaring our independence from tarsands. With your help, we'll not just tell, but we will show President Obama he'll have to bulldoze our investment in a clean energy future if he wants to make way for dirty, foreign tarsands.

Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you in the Summer Heat to Build Our Energy!
Jane Kleeb and the Bold Nebraska team
