Besides the environmental damage of building pipelines, and the inevitable spills and risks of gas explosions/fires, there's the hypocracy of 'all for America.'

Even KXL, which would've carried ND's toxic tarsands oil besides TransCanada's, was to terminate at a duty-free refinery port. Lost in most of hoopla was measure in bills to allow exporting US oil.

Rather hypocritical to cry about US energy independence when oil & gas companies push to export.
