Keystone Pipeline

[Robalo]

The irony of the pipeline being passed is the ranchers and landowners in Nebraska are against it affecting the aquaphor and running right outside their bedroom window. Last time I checked, they,re not exactly a bunch of liberals.

Harvey:

It is simply a "Bait & Switch" put forth by Obama on behalf of his buddy, Warren Buffett. In 2010, Berkshire Hathaway bought BNSF Railway. KXL was proposed in 2008. Obama held off and still is holding off approval of KXL. Railroads run through some of the most pristine and beautiful places in the USA-they were built 100 or more years ago when no one understood the possible damage to the environment they could cause. Right now millions and millions of gallons of crude run all over the USA on rail. They have train accidents and derailings-sometimes in very sensitive or populated areas. A spill is a spill-it can happen in a goat pasture or in a scenic river when a railcar jumps its tracks. In 2013, 47 people died due to a crude loaded train wreck in Quebec Province-much of the crude was US crude going to a New Brunswick Refinery. If KXL was allowed to be built across the border by Obama, likely these 47 deaths would not have occurred.

Further, trains wreck quite often-many is sensitive areas, so someone tell me that the enviros are against KXL for potential pollution but yet why are they not concerned with exploding, people-killing railcars? I would rather see a spill from a pipeline, which is usually on a pretty small scale when compared to a whole train a mile long filled with crude exploding in downtown Houston. The crude has to be moved-and there are only two choices-rail, which has proven to be deadly and definitely crosses environmentally sensitive areas or by Pipeline which is highly regulated, to be built and has been built to 'go around' some environmentally sensitive areas.

To me, the whole KXL issue is merely Obama taking care of his buddy Warren Buffett and that is all-Obama has no concern about how many deaths rail can and will cause and the so-called 'pollution issue' does not hold water when one looks at how much damage and DEATH a crude loaded train can cause. I know of no CRUDE pipeline causing deaths-gas pipelines, yes, crude no.

I would guess the majority of them don't care. But you don't have rallies for the people in that category. Just like the dip sheets with the occupy protest in front of the camera that are a small minority. And, if given the choice I'd rather have a pipeline on my neighbors property vs mine so it doesn't have anything to do with being conservative.

Do you have any idea how many thousand upon thousands of hundred thousand miles in Texas, Louisana, Oklahoma are crisscrossed with transportaion and gathering lines?

Furthermore, I'm ALWAYS against anything that would cause oil and gas prices to be lower. I'm greedy and I don't see any benefit in something that could lower prices like this pipeline. I love to see guys like MG pay top dollar for gas at the pump and utility bills because it only benefits guys like me.

Mg if you can't refrain from calling other members names you're done. Heated discussion is one thing. Name calling of fellow members is quite another.
