keystone pipeline: pure evil

Post Reply New Topic

Apparently the "tar sands oil" pipelines now take up 15%! !! of Alberta, Canada. The videos of the forrests and land before and the destruction after are shocking. There are petitions one can sign to keeo the Keystone pipeline from being constructed, which would cut its way through America, northern. to southern border. I strongly encourage everyone to spread awareness of the importance of not annihilating mother earth in this way.

Thank you for such an important post!

if we don't take the oil, the Chinese would be only too happy to accept it. if the pipeline is not built, the oil will still be transported in other ways to other end users. Canada is going to do what it will do with their oil.

The alternative to the pipeline is bringing the oil down to the Gulf via trucks, rail, or ship which are way more potentially damaging to the environment and cost more.

I could ask what the Keystone XL pipeline has to do with the tar sands, but I do know the answer.

Canada, by pretty much any standard, has a functioning democratic government, with a high quality of life. They have shown the ability and willpower to effectively regulate production from alternative oil sources.

I think having the US State Department, who has for decades fanatically supported oil-producing dictatorships, block the Keystone XL pipeline would be a joke if it was'nt so serious.

When tar oil keeps you warm in the winter you won't think it is so evil.

There is enough there for 250 years. That will buy us time to construct more long term solution.

Good bye oil shortage. Good by peak oil. Tar oil and and natural gas will keep us chugging for a while.

They are fracking for natural gas here and it's polluting people's wells and causing earthquakes.All my dry wall is cracked from the fracking fracking.Watch the doc Gasland.
This makes me nervous since I am surrounded by shale deposits.

Why does the Gulf need to import oil? It has its own oil.

Thanks, AgentPalpatine. Nicely explained.

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.

overpopulation is the crazy aunt in the basement that nobody wants to talk about, to borrow from ross perot. all these billions of people are energy consumers of one kind or another.

Well, i can agree with u on that one: overpopulation. To put it lightly, i tend to be more of an activist for mother Earth than for peoples. Without a healthy Earth quality of life and the future of life = fail.
