Looking at photos of all the miles and miles of pipeline stacked up just waiting to be buried makes me a little nervous.
Once underground, who really knows what section is working and what could be leaking?
And the reason the US doesn't do the refining of this Canadian oil, and the oil is just shipped away raw, that should tell you something in itself.
For us, there will be little benefit in the pipeline, financially speaking.
More US jobs would be created with shipping the oil by rail, if jobs are the goal here?
So they, the Canadians, don't want us to refine the oil nor rail the oil.
They want it to flow independently through pipes buried deep underground.
And for us to take all the risk for potential leakage.
I'd listen to the Native American Indians on this one.
They know land and the devastation of land better than anyone else.
They wrote the book.
If they say no, I say no.
It's funny, the republicans in congress.
They hang all their hopes for job creation on this one temporary keystone project.
Yet passing bills on infrastructure i.e. roads bridges rail energy, something republicans will not do, would put millions of Americans to work long term.
And make your ride home from work a lot smoother. And less congested too.
Republican logic... Go figure.
