Won't be long for the 'Why do we care about what the drunks living off the government tit have to say' comments start rolling in
The check wasn't big enough.
Yup the first nonPC but truthful post
I don't know enough specifics of this particular case, but in general, everyone who's against oil pipelines needs to Google 'Lac Megantic'.
I can't cut-and-paste with this device, but that disaster involved a train of rail tankers carrying crude from the Bakken Formation.
The oil will move to market. The question is, how?

Truthful? A flippant comment you just pulled out of your ass?
True, but there have also been quite a few oil pipeline leaks, one in CA wasn't even detected until it has caused a lot of damage. And other pipelines, like the gas pipeline, also in CA that was leaking for a long time before anyone actually figured it out. Pipelines tend to go unsupervised, even though they claim that they will be supervised and checked and so on. They don't do it. Rail accidents happen, at least we know about them right now, not months from now as with pipelines.
:yawn:
Impressed, I am not.
Nope, just spend my entire life living near, or some time working on Rezs. While I truly believe there is a minority who truly believe in the spiritual nature of their beliefs, culture and sovereignty ,..........most nope, just a pay-day will do.

BS, pipelines are factual and statistically a safer way to transport oil. FAR MORE SAFER than rail or OTR.
When there are no problems, yeah. But when they break, they have an unlimited supply of oil to spill til they are found to be leaking, both time and attention are against the pipeline because they would allow much greater spills. For other means, there is limited supply in that only the amount of oil on those trains or trucks are involved, and immediate response also limits the longer term cleanup and environmental effects.
