The democrat base as seen in the past will sacrifice jobs and saving money for the environment, understandable, but if anything, this pipeline will help the environment. He won't pass it until after is my bet
So your position is that because it is not releasing CO2, that it is good for the environment? You're willing to ignore any other environmental damage that may occur and focus only on a single aspect of the pipeline's impact?
I never said it was great or anything. I just said that it would be a lot better for the environment than what we are doing now to transport oil. Sure they'll have to displace some things but it's worth it.
It made sense to me. Pipelines are environmentally friendly. See Alaskan Pipeline for examples. The libs got all bent outta shape for that one, too. Then Exxon Valdez occurred. Hmmmm... Tough call...me thinks not!
To be fair I can't imagine they are 100% friendly but I think a lot of the risk involved in petrol transport is taken out of the equation which in a sense is more environmentally friendly. Better than ships, trucks and rail carts lol.
This pipeline is better for the environment, because if we don't build it, Canada will sell it to China. It will be shipped via ship to a country that doesn't have the environment as a high priority.
Environmentalist don't have an effective argument
Well, pipelines are safer, with the exception if when Warren Buffett owns a rail line that would lose business to a new pipeline. Then a pipeline is way too dangerous.
This is one of those situations where I think the environmentalists are nuts for not wanting the pipeline. The oil will be transported whether you like it or not. Are you going to stick with unfounded protests, or get real?
Yeah, but that's stupid and unrealistic. The oil and natural gas will be produced whether they like it or not. Off they oppose the pipeline, it will be transported in a way that's worse - their wishes be damned.
That is my problem with the so called environmentalists. Their lack of common sense causes more environmental damage than the progress they are blocking.
