Tom Steyer: Russ Girling

Russ Girling: U.S. ambassador Gary Doer and Russ Girling, president of TransCanada Corp., were issued written invites a few days before the planned event, called "Can Keystone Pass the President's Climate Test?", according to CTV. The organizers are far from impartial. The event is being held by NextGen Climate Action, the group headed by billionaire asset manager Tom Steyer, who has gained political prominence as a financier for anti-oil campaigns and WASHINGTON -- Key Canadian representatives have turned down invitations to address a Washington summit organized by an environmental group leading the fight against the Keystone pipeline. The Dec. 2 gathering at Georgetown University will include research on whether the proposed pipeline would increase greenhouse gas emissions -- a key factor for U.S. President Barack Obama in deciding whether to approve the project.
