Perhaps it is time to require each state to achieve complete energy independence across all sectors. Or what the heck: each county. Since energy is too dirty to produce or move, let New York City figure out how to power itself with unicorn farts.
Morris goose-steps in lockstep with the Greenies.
Morris is on the Blue team, appointed by Obama...
But, don’t try to explain that to the Chief, John Roberts...
BTW, SCOTUS should never use that term, “Chief”, again...
Myself and other non-Native Americans are personally offended!
This little Resistance creep Morris apparently gave himself jurisdiction over the entire oil and natural gas industry in the United States...
So I look around and do a bit of comparison...
How many trains have we seen derailed over the past 10 years, most of them dumping thousands of gallons, if not barrels, of oil all over hell and a half acre.
So how many pipeline spills in the same 10 years, and how many thousands of barrels of oil lost?
No contest, pipeline is safer, no doubt...but the morons want all pipelines stopped, it doesn’t fit their political narrative.
I’ll take liberalism is a disease for $800 Alex...
The world is awash in oil.
We have time to get these pipelines in place
This is actually a fight between people like Buffet and others who own pipelines or train lines now. New pipelines change the way oil moves from where its drilled to where its refined or stored. An old refinery or a train line can remain profitable simply because their is no competing pipeline. In order to stop the new pipeline from being built, someone tells the Indians they should get paid before allowing oil to flow under their feet. Then the old infrastructure keeps its profits for another ten years while the courts fight.
Its time for a POTUS to tell the courts - You do not make federal policy from the court bench. Objections have to go through the democratically elected representatives and the democratically elected federal officials. If their is environmental questions that might require environmental adjustments and or mitigation, they will be addressed and adjusted for or mitigated as each case needs. You, the court, cannot pretend to predict so called “bad” events that have not happened. Your roles as predictors of bad events before they happen is over.
