(2,667 posts)We, the United States, should not be the conduit by which the dirtiest large energy source available is delivered to the world, particularly because little to no long term benefit will accrue to the nation from becoming that conduit.
By the way, does anyone honestly think the Government does any better a job at regulating and maintaining pipelines than it does the interstate highways?
And we are talking about putting the ground water in jeopardy of unrepairable damage in a stretch spanning from our border with Canada all the way to the Gulf of Mexico.
No, I'm not for it. Not by the current route or by any other route that connects the point of origin with our Gulf Coast. Haven't we seen enough of the damage you can expect when moving huge quantities of oil is concerned?
And who will profit from this nonsense? Certainly not 'we the people'.
