Seriously, look at the before and after pics online. 15% of alberta is covered with these pipes. They are not just underground because of being pipes. Overground all you see for miles and miles is gray ugly pipes. No more nature at all. No more mountains or trees. I know a lot about keeping warm. I've lived outside for three years off and on homeless. Its called build a fire, get a survival handbook. use thermals. this works indoors too, btw. heh. This is a move of greed to build these things. They DO cause earthquakes. Oil leaks into lawns roads and wildlife preserves and lakes. Its like theGulf coast oil spill except multiplyed in vastness and on land. Its greed. Destroying the planet for easy modernized conviences.
Think about where things come from. Could you survive on your own? Or are you dependent on wealthy regime-fashioned companies to make your decisions for you.
Imagine waking up in a house in California, for instance, where some of this is being done already.... and the sky is bright toxic orange from pollution and your view our the window is haze and decimation and black and gray industrial landscaping. And you open that window and ypu don't year birds or smell fresh air. Instead you see birds dripping in oil and smell fumes.
Imagine global warming severely magnified. Common sense: this degree of decimation is taking a toll on the planet. The forrest are like the lungs of the Earth, providing oxygen and life.
Think. Conviences... or health. Just because another company might do the same thing doesn't make it fine.
Leaving aside the negative comments towards companies, should'nt you be taking this issue up with the Canadian and/or Alberta government?
Also, what's the difference between a fire (consumes fuel and puts out CO2) and fossil fuel production (consumes fuel and puts out CO2)?
