I've got trains with oil cars on them passing a block away on a

doubt if it's going to work being this is a refinery town that Shell owns.

/A local train derailment with oil aboard is probably the least of your
problems. The gasoline that gets refined and brought in to your local
gas station on a truck twice a week probably drives right past your
house. You probably have better odds of getting hit by lightening than
injured by spilled oil downtown. As long as you use gasoline and oil
there are going to be pipelines. Go figure./

Funny thing is, the oil will flow one way or another.Does it make
it's way to refineries via a stable pipeline, one of thousands or by
way of truck or train/. How many rail way accidents have we seen this
past year involving the movement of oil?We see tanker cars off rail,
spilling the crude, leaving a greater environmental mess to clean up,
using tax dollars that could be used more productively.< Meanwhile, a
female US senator is about to lose her job because her party and
President refuse to build the pipeline which offers high paying jobs,
so sorely needed. These protests, great or small, puts Republicans in
a very good light, fighting for more jobs against a president and
party who don't care how people live but that they just get their
vote.< An oil glut means greater competition for petroleum dollars.
Fewer *bucks* for Arabs and Persians that would use those dollars to
do harm. It means cheaper transportation for us and our goods that
move about the country and world. It means more money in our pockets
to do the things we want to do like buying that new mantra or that
extra jar of Amrit or a PK package or even more research on more
efficient energy sources and production. We just keep shooting
ourselves in the foot to look like we *care*.

Thankfully there is currently a world glut of oil, which at least
makes hugely expensive endeavors like drilling in the arctic, less
profitable. On the other hand, having so much oil available also
decreases the incentives to find alternative fuel sources.

Just let'em try to run that stinking global climate changing pipeline
across the Global Country of World Peace here! They'll see a real
fight then. I could empathize like with Obama in the position of our
larger defense for instance having to send drones against such
enemies out to destroy our rights and freedoms and our very way of
life whence it would come to such an extreme attack like that on a
way of life and a people. What was that old 1960's anti-war button,
'civil disobedience is civil defense of the country'.. to the
barricades now to protect our green world. EarthFirst! That pipeline
stinks of corporations.

Peace indeed. Do you see a contradiction here Buck?
