Russ Girling

The votes are in, the ballots are counted, and we are excited to announce the winners of this year’s Fossil Fools Day awards!

And now, the moment you have been waiting for: taking home top honors for Biggest Fossil Fool of the 1% is [envelope, please]… TransCanada CEO Russ Girling!

Russ Girling wins this prize for his starring role in the Keystone XL Tar Sands Pipeline project. This is his first Fossil Fools nomination. We tried to contact Mr. Girling to congratulate him on his victory, but were informed he was busy poisoning communities across the continent, so we are accepting this award on his behalf.
