Why Oil Sands Pipeline Is Just Too Risky

Probably more pseudo-science lies, like global warming. I will never believe anything from the so-called environmentalsts.
If we were to drill here and drill now, build refineries and nuke plants we would not need long pipe lines and such. I could not get beyond the biased first paragraph.
If you had read a little further, you would have seen:
China has actively been investing in Canadian oil and many believe that the true intent of the oil pipeline is to make it easier to ship the oil from Texas ports to Asian markets. The pipeline happens to follow part of the same route as the notorious North American Free Trade Association (NAFTA) Super Highway.
This oil is going to China!
I still support drill here drill now.
Whether that pipeline runs into the US or across the Rockies to fill tankers headed to Asia (China) is up to Obama.
If so, a pipeline to the Gulf coast a mighty strange route to choose. Why not build a pipeline to the Pacific coast, a much more direct route to Chinese ports?
Why are these always posed as “either/or” choices ? Why not process the oil in ND ? Or don’t the residents of that fair state deserve some benefit from the “boom” ? There’s ample reason to create more refining capacity in that region as it, too, has vast oil reserves just now being tapped. >PS
Nope, wrong. Although the oil will go to China if the US doesn’t want it.
Too risky for what? Your Liberal, brainwashed, sorry outlook?
Thanks to Bush, the low grade crude with a high sulfur content cannot be refined in the USA, which is why it is being sent to the Gulf of Mexico for shipping overseas. The USA exports a large portion of it's own low grade crude to other countries also. (Too much oil). This pipe line will also carry low grade USA crude, I am sure.
This is completely stupid!
This guy does not have a clue.
You should do more homework before you post. Your information is typical enviro crap. A lot a work has been done to clean the process up, see below. Also if we don’t take take the pipeline to Texas it’s going to the West Coast.
A new technology being developed by a Calgary company could address one of the biggest problems of the oilsands.
A new technology being developed by a Calgary company could address one of the biggest problems of the oilsands: high water usage.
Petrobank Energy and Resources’ process recently passed a significant hurdle, validating a technology its backers say will not only get out more oil, but also have a smaller environmental footprint.
Last week, independent engineering consultants McDaniel & Associates, in the first comprehensive evaluation of the technology, concluded that Petrobank is, in its words, “successfully proving” Toe to Heel Air Injection (THAI).
Why not build a pipeline to the Pacific coast, a much more direct route to Chinese ports?
Bingo......that’s exactly what happens if we turn the thing down. This artile is poster is for crap.
“Obama’s Choice: Dirty Oil (Keystone XL Oil Pipeline) or Clean Water and Land?”
Or.......walking or horse instead of automobile.
Really. From a Texas port a tanker has to take the long way around to get to China. Why would they do such a stupid thing when they HAVE a pipeline to Vancouver, from which tankers can get to China the short way?
You have it exactly backwards. The opposition to the pipeline is most likely FROM CHINA, because THEY want to be the major customers for the oil.
Realistically, this might be a seminal moment. If Obama turns this down, it will be perfectly evident what he is up to.
