None of those "spills" were from a pipeline, **** for brains!!! Pipelines are the SAFEST way to transport oil. Yes, shuttering the XL pipeline was "all about politics". The Canadian tar sands are still being transported into the US through existing and new pipelines and Warren Buffett's BNSF exponentially environmentally unsafe rail cars.IkeBana » 03 Dec 2022, 9:49 am » wrote: ↑ There was one reason for the XL pipeline. To provide raw material business for floundering half dead big oil refineries in Illinois and Texas. And the products made from this **** tar sands was all going into overseas markets. No thanks, not interested. Particularly when big oil has the record it has for massive spills all over the planet.
The Gulf Coast has still not recovered from the Deepwater Horizon spill 22 years ago. Prince William Sound has still not recovered from the Exxon Valdez disaster 33 years ago. Neither will ever fully recover. That's because it's **** impossible to fully clean up an ocean oil spill. There are still large pockets of crude oil all over Prince William Sound. Why did these two spills happen? Arrogance and arrogant incompetence. Crew chiefs and workers on the Deepwater Horizon knew there was a problem down on the bottom, and management refused to do anything about it.
Like so much else proposed by alt-right traitorous conjobs and republican politicians...the XL pipeline was all about politics.
Why would anyone kill an oil pipeline capable of transporting more than 300 million barrels of crude a year when moving oil by pipeline is cheaper, safer, and more environmentally friendly than moving it by rail? The Keystone XL simply became a symbol of dirty, nasty oil, which meant it had to go—even if there’s little dispute that killing the pipeline increased pollution and energy costs and put more lives at risk. So, ultimately, the US consumer loses, environmentally and in his pocketbook with having to pay unnecessary higher prices for fuel.
Envirowackos and bought and paid for politicians never do exhibit any common sense...and are never held to account or responsible for their corruption or **** ups!!!
