Just announced

I hope they start building the XL pipeline.

Not because it will do anything good for the USA or the global climate - but because I cannot bear anymore inane Republican yammering about it.

;-)
 
No environmental impact by XL pipeline. So, when will the shovel ready building start.

The problem with pipelines isn't in the building of them, it is the leaks. Will just mention two facts, in 2011 natural pipelines leaked over 69 Billion cubic feet of natural gas into the air. That is enough to heat most of Maine for a year. In 2013 just one of the many pipelines in North Dakota leaked 865,200 gallons of crude oil gotten from fracking. Like I said it isn't the building of pipelines that hurt our environment, it is the leaks. And what do we get for this pipeline, cheaper gas, no, this will all be shipped overseas. So we may pay the price and get no benefits. Doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

Here's an idea then....why don't we let the companies that want to build it with their money build it for the jobs and then never use it? Would that make you happy?

Ohh by the way, whaddya ya think about that $1 billion surplus your governor, Scott Walker, (who you wanted to run out of office,) made out of a $3 billion deficit?

Piss you off? Or do you just not want to talk about it?
