Keystone Kops

The Keystone pipeline is being built. Did you know that?

Three of the four phases of construction are already underway. The fourth phase will begin in due time. It was put on hold because the state of Nebraska was concerned about the hazard to their environmentally sensitive Sand Hills region. TransCanada Corporation has changed the originally proposed route of Keystone XL to minimize "disturbance of land, water resources and special areas" and the new route has been approved by Nebraska's Governor.

So, we took a time out in one of four phases of construction of the pipeline in order to minimize environmental concerns. Hope that didn't lead to anyone pulling their hair out.

I've heard quite a lot of nonsense related to this project. I just thought it would be useful to post the actual facts, FWIW.

When people threw out fantastic numbers of jobs to be created I was wondering just where did they expect all those people to be working. I did the math. The largest estimate would have provided enough employees to form a bucket brigade from the border with Canada to Houston with one person every six feet....

PS...I posted much the same info about the reroute from Sandhills and Ogallala.
 
now we move to a 90 day public comment period after which Pres Obama and Secy Kerry get to decide. they'll have to say yes, since this sludge oil is already crossing America on its way to China.

however, I'd like to know why we still have so many oil spills, many of which go unreported, many not noticed by the company, but by area residents. how can a pipeline burst? what's the problem?

Physics. All mechanical devices fail eventually. There are numerous, varied reasons for pipeline failures, and so it is important to place a great deal of emphasis on monitoring and maintenance of pipeline equipment.
