My solution to the Keystone Pipeline

[JohnnyRingo]

If it's going to be the answer to all our energy problems as the Republicans are saying, let's just call it the Canada/North Dakota Pipeline and save a lot of money on construction costs. Apparently, conservatives think we'll tap in wherever we want between The Great White North and Mexico, like so many rednecks stealing cable in an apartment building.

Or we can just tie it in with the last boondoggle that would take gasoline prices to less than a buck a gallon: The Great Alaska Pipeline. That petroleum IV drip is rusting from the inside out now as the crude gets shipped via supertankers across the Bering Sea to the lucrative Asian market, and just like Keystone, the taxpayers were talked into funding it.

Why is it everytime the oil companies present their collective asses to the taxpayers, we have to start applying lip gloss?

1. Keystone Pipeline has Koch Brothers written all over it

Koch Industries to send the oil to their Corpus Cristi refinery and then they will sell it to the world. The US will see very results for building the Keystone Pipeline.

2. The function of that pipeline is to dump the tarsand slurry in the gulf, IMO.

To me Canada could distill the oil and keep it's own sand slurry but no...
they what to just the tarsands and let get rid of the slurry.

definition:
The trucks dump their loads into a large machine that breaks up the lumps in the sand, and then mixes it with hot water. This mixture, called a slurry, is sent by pipeline to a processing plant. (The sand in the tar sands is very abrasive ... it eats through the steel equipment used to mine it, making equipment repair costs quite high).

KeyStone is a sewer line that will be eaten away almost as soon as it used.
