^jack, you obviously have NO idea what tar sands are. Ramirez has not drawn any constriction in the liquid (or gas) flow of pipelines. At least if they ever get it, China will have another source coming from Texas, just like the state of Texas selling drilling rights to Texas deposits, to the China national oil company!! Did MIchael draw this one using crude instead of ink?
good gravy! What will the Keystone Pipe-lie do for American energy independence? How many permanent jobs will it create in the US? The thing goes from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico and the oil doesn’t stop here. We get none of the oil, and the jobs it creates last maybe 2 years. Once I built a pipeline, now it’s done. Brother can you spare a dime?
Churchie, Burlington Northern, and Santa Fe, have been OIL companies, living off the split estate they picked up from the government to build AND MAINTAIN IN PERPETUITY “railroads”, which they let go downhill. THAT is the reason we don’t have “high speed rail”, but we DO have oil depletion allowances and other , further, giveaways to OIL companies that USED TO BE “railroads”. Rail has no infrastructure to move that oil any more. Tar sands by the way, despite the TV ads you’ve bought into, are perhaps the filthiest, most contaminating, way possible to get gasoline, outside of reducing coal.
The AEI/Norquist/conservative, propaganda campaign to denounce climate change, facts, and common sense, may be the most costly in history: to our posterity.
