Soon we'll have planes that fly 22000 mph

Oh, that "dirty" oil.

Building that pipeline may have inconvenienced a nest of vermin or a cock roach somewhere along the way.
Other that the ones at 1600.

I'm guessing Marco Rubio will sign and approve it in 2017. The dirty oil can wait 18 months or so... Typical Democrat/Republican stuff. This is a real reason I never vote Democrat in elections.

Nothing more than political graft and gamesmanship. Obama just made Warren Buffett really happy. Now his BNSF trains can stay full of oil. Oh, and rail transit is sooo much safer than pipelines.

I'm all for the pipeline, but I've seen tar sands operations up close, they're more environmentally disruptive than drilling. So it is a dirtier process to obtain the oil. Pricier too.

That's not the question, though. These tar sands will continue to be pulled from the ground. The issue is where will it best be converted to useable product, and how will it be transported to this location.
I'm sure transporting this by ship to China for them to refine without any environmental regulations is better for the planet.

Re: Convince me the man doesnt hate the USA
This is why I'm pro-pipeline. It's gonna be processed whether we do it or not. The question is who do you trust to get it done safely, cleanly, and in the most ecologically sound way available? The Keystone should built if for no other reason that safety, quality control, and the sanctity of the planet.Mcl3 Hokie wrote:That's not the question, though.

I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican... if you refuse to consider alternatives to the two parties, you support the Status Quo and you are a major part of the problem.
