State Department to Approve Keystone XL Pipeline

[JerryArkansas]

I guess Donald Trump is going to run around the country now bragging about how many jobs in Canada he is creating.

Instead of trampling over indigenous people and making their land susceptible to oil spills, why not invest in infrastructure that will increase American output of renewable energy?

This is Keystone, not DAPL. The latter is a trainwreck that should be stopped. This was only stopped as a sop to the Sierra Club and because Obama was in full spite mode.

Any oil pipeline is at risk of being compromised, and this damn thing goes right over some of the largest aquifers in the nation.

Good.

Any oil pipeline is at risk of being compromised, and this damn thing goes right over some of the largest aquifers in the nation.

So do train tracks.  And an oil train accident could blow up a town.  Why do you think pipeline transport is more dangerous than train transport, which is the most likely alternative?  And why do you prefer Saudi or Venezuelan oil to North American oil, which is the alternative if you do the really dumb thing and stop people from drilling for oil here?

I don't like oil at all, no matter if it's the blood stained oil from the Middle East or the tar which is extracted from Canada; so don't know why your trying to attack me there?
