How does building a pipeline across some our most vulnerable areas in the USA, carrying some of the dirtiest oil, to the refineries and selling it on the global market to the highest bidder improve our energy independence?
How can there be any justification of putting our watershed at risk to these companies whom have proven over and over they are irresponsible and incapable of safely providing oil on land or on the oceans?
Why would we even desire to stay with the 100+ year old energy system when we have so many alternatives?
Even Ex-Pres Bill Clinton will tell you, and HAS told you that just wind power from North Dakota would provide twenty-five percent of our nations energy needs. Why in the world would we want to destroy our world for the profit of a few gas compainies?
If you say this is a job creator, you could be right. It probably would create around 5,000 temporary jobs.
Maybe more with the security it would require to keep sabotuers at bay, and cleanup crews to try to contain the ineventable spills and leakage which will nevertheless pollute our groundwater. Leaving millions of people without clean water to drink, irrigate Your food crops, and water livestock that is also food.
In whose universe does this make sense?
In the same universe that improving our infrastructure, creating an energy grid to carry the vast untapped natural, renewable resources through out our nation to power the homes, businesses and vehicles that we all ready have the technology for?
Who is in favor of this destroying form of energy? Who will profit from it? Who wants the pipeline?
Who is trying to destroy our earth, home of all of us?
Anyone say Big Oil, Big Gas, Drill, baby Drill -- Spill, baby,Spill??
Who are your representatives voting for? Whom do they represent?
Not ME.
