That Pipeline

[cowslinger64]

Not to worry, the pipeline will be built.............eventually.

The eco-freaks have zero legitimate arguments against building it.

There will be no saving pollution, there will be no saving CO2 emissions. The only thing they're accomplishing is wasting everyone's time and a shit pot of money.

I saw bovinefuckers list of pipeline accidents. I wonder if the stupid bastard even realizes that only ONE of those accidents would be relevant to the Keystone?

And the reason they were drilling deep in the Atlantic in the first place, because environmental groups make it extremely difficult to drill on land or closer to shore.

They drill there because that is where the oil is. And for no other reason.

...The U.S. State Department has been reviewing the pipeline for more than six years...


What we have here is either a case of:
(1) incompetence or
(2) massive stupid.

There are no other possibilities.

The State Dept. has twice blessed the pipeline and it has been returned to State for review yet a third time.

This is a real life example of how Finnegan's Finagling Factor works. It is a number that when added to, subtracted from, multiplied by, or divided into, the number you got gives you the number you want.

I'm quite certain that if the State Dept. studies the pipeline enough times it will find a reason to disapprove and thereby make the administration happy.

You skipped my post for some reason. Disappointing, especially after you ran your big mouth about the other one.

Another one. This time it's Galena, Illinois.

Thanks to Iran, ISIS is setting its wells on fire.

Good forward thinking there Mr. President!

Say, did anyone think about building a pipeline?
Did you know that they're much safer than transporting petroleum by rail?

They will find a way to get the bitumen to market.

Some ways are better than others.

There are much worse things than crude oil being shipped by rail everyday. I'm sure the good folks of any major city U.S.A. have no clue of those countless rail cars silently rolling through their neighborhoods.

 

[thør]

Oh yeah, one hell of an idea.

Of the "worse things" out there, shipping it by pipeline is not one of them. No one notices any hazmat shipments until a truck rolls over or a train derails. If ignorance is bliss, then why the push to demonize the risks of pipelines and ignore the higher risk of all the alternatives?

Very simple. They just need to run the Keystone pipeline underneath the Ogallala Aquifer. That way if it leaks it won't contaminate the water. They only need to dig down a thousand feet or so. Sure it would be tough work, but people shouldn't be afraid of that, and the oil companies can afford the project. Lots of job creation that way, too.

Right..... that makes about as much sense as any other stupid idea..

Were you under the impression that trucks and rail lines are routed through tunnels underneath theses aquifers?

Sounds like an Obama jobs bill!

Typically, oil is lighter than water.

Then they need to dig a bit deeper, horizontal drilling through the Cretaceous layer. If they want it badly enough, they can do it.

Stopping the Keystone Pipeline doesn't seem to stop the business of Canadian Syncrude.

...and it never will.

Unfortunately, that will never dawn on the small, implacable, vocal minority of delusional extremists bent on opposing it regardless of reason.

Winner: Warren Buffet.



His rolling stock will continue to transport the oil...

Another train derailment, another spill, but DAMN! it was worth it to save the planet!

The vocal opponents tipped their hand in their statement after Obama's statement. It was never about science or reason, it was all about symbolism.

BTW, have you been watching/reading the antics of the "Climate Change" crowd? The colder it gets the more panic stricken they're becoming. If it weren't so pathetic it'd be funny.

How many years ago did we begin to warn them not to get their hopes up?


Now, if we could just lift our export ban on oil...

You mean real open markets? Perish the thought.

Did you see where the New York AG is trying to haul Exxon into court over 'climate change?' He, the AG, is chasing the notion that 'global warming' is going to have a net negative impact on the companies profits and that the company hasn't been warning their stockholders.

I find his whole premise to be ludicrous. First of all, all of this "warming" is supposed to occur decades from now. No other company is required to look that far forward in their prospectus. But more importantly even if all that the AGW's crowd come to pass I can see nothing but soaring profits for the likes of Exxon. (More arable land, higher demand for air conditioning, etc.) The AG's entire premise seems to be based on the government outlawing oil.

[4est_4est_Gump]

Oh yeah, not only that but one crazy woman in government is after our air-conditioning...


It's killing the planet. I remember when the lack of it killed hospital patients in France.

*chuckle* Outlawing A/C would certainly be a boon the the construction industry. Every commercial building built post the mid 1930's would have to be demolished.
