RE:Oil BAAAAAAAAD - Birkie Drops Enbridge Energy Sponsorship "A spokesperson from Enbridge released a statement to FOX 21, reading in part:
It should be noted that fuel for the machinery that grooms the Birkie ski trails, poly fibers and plastics in cross country ski clothing and gear, and millions of other products – from computers to heart monitors, medical supplies to warm winter coats and camping gear – are derived from crude oil. Enbridge pipelines safely transport the energy that fuels our economy.
Sadly, the Birkie has chosen to end our sponsorship, dissolve our agreement and return our sponsorship money. Enbridge plans to donate the money to a different non-profit organization serving the Hayward area, in keeping with our tradition of community investment."
I would have been happier if Enbridge had kept the money for its shareholders, but otherwise a good response.
