If Canada wants to tear up its land for the sake of high CO2 concentration processes to extract low quality oil they need it more than any place else in the world.
...Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman (click title to entry - thank you) has called a special session of the state legislature to decide whether to try to block the $7-billion Keystone pipeline.
Heineman, a Republican, said Nebraska should force TransCanada to change the route so it doesn't cross the eco-sensitive Sandhills and the vast Ogallala Aquifer on its way to refineries on the Gulf Coast of Texas...
Pure greed.
The danger to the American agriculture this pipeline presents is not worth it. Canada has determined it needs this low quality oil, so they should keep it. There is absolutely no reason to install a transcontinent pipeline except greed. The pipeline is to cost a MINIMUM of $6 billion US which will be exceeded by changes that have to be made to seek a guarantee to those that oppose it, it will be safe.
When is this pandering to the petroleum industry stop by governments? It is the most corrupt set of standards ever ignored. The Gulf Coast disaster is proof of the negligence of government to protect its people. Today the Gulf Coast shrimpers realize their 'cohabitation' with oil companies has destroyed their shrimp industry.
...“There’s no shrimp,” (click here) explained Grant Bundy, 38. The dock should smell like a place where 10,000 pounds of shrimp a day are bought off the boats. Not this year. In all of September, Bundy’s Seafood bought around 41,000 pounds.
White shrimp season began in late August, and two months in, the shrimpers here say it is a bad one, if not the worst in memory. It is bad not just in spots but all over southeastern Louisiana, said Jules Nunez, 78, calling it the worst season he had seen since he began shrimping in 1950. Some fishermen said their catches were off by 80 percent or more....
I can't believe Jindle was actually re-elected after the disaster his favored petroleum industry caused the citizens of that state. It appears "The Mad as Hell and No Going to Take it Anymore" becuase I love the petroleum industry actually works for the politicians along the Gulf. Take about being brainwashed. Evidently, Louisiana Petroleum Industry Poverty Level Contractors are too scared to actually demand a decent Governor to lead them out of the dark.
Yep, that is exactly what the USA Gulf Coast needs, more petroleum industry impacts with still yet another pipeline that endangers the agriculturals lands along with way. It wasn't enough the Petroleum Industry shut down an entire economy along the entire Gulf Coast, deposited oil at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico that lingers until today, suspended oil particles in the water column, now they want to destroy the remaining agricultual land of the USA while everyone trembles at the thought the Gulf Coast disaster could occur on either or both the East and West Coast of the country.
Stop the exploitation and desperation of the Petroleum Industry. It is more than evident they have no respect for the citizen, their health, their food source or CLEAN WATER !!!!!!
Dale Getz, a community relations adviser for ExxonMobil in Billings, said to his knowledge, the lawsuit is the first related to the spill, but the company does not comment on pending litigation. He said the cleanup will continue.
The lawsuit names ExxonMobil Oil Corp., ExxonMobil Pipeline in Houston, Billings refinery manager Jon Wetmore and pipeline terminal superintendent Jason Montgomery....
