Not really. For those that don't know, that's Warren Buffet, the guy who owns the majority of the railroads that will transport the oil & gas and stands to make a ton of money off of this. Also donates big time to Biden & DNC.

"OOF!"

Thanks man!

And would not hurt the environment either

LOL!

Great Meme Facebook hates it and will cover it up if you post it. They say that only 4300 tractor trailers of oil are required to replace pipeline. they miss the complete point of the meme. LOL.

This Inspired me to make my 2nd Dr. Evil Prez Dad! Thanks!!

eyyy federal agent moment. the pipeline was prone to leaking, especially since it was being built by the U.S. government, which is awful at everything. trains are actually better at transporting goods in bulk, and they're run privately. the U.S. rail freight network is actually world class

trains burn less fuel compared to trucks when the output is compared. they are also cheaper to use than pipelines

derailments for oil transport are often remote, while pipelines can be close to residential areas. the only reason derailments happen more than pipeline leaks is because there is a greater number of rail mileage than pipeline mileage.

ever found a holocaust denial video? because if you find one, the absurdity will probably make your head explode if you think my arguments are absurd. friggin' imgflip users and there inability to debate

nothing. just that you're a snowflake if you find arguments for private railroads """"""absurd""""""

the damages done by a leaking pipeline are astronomically worse than the pollution of a handful of locomotives transporting hundreds of tankers across the states. it's also not hard to electrify railroads either, even freight railroads, though i do digress when it comes to the lack of freight train companies actually electrifying. the best i've seen so far is BNSF doing this:

not exactly electrifying, but a step in the right direction

a leak does not KILL THE POLAR BEARS .....but the POLAR BEARS !

your argument now relies on me being the type of person who singles out a specific climate issue. remember that electrification & hydrogen always exists.

And you are still a moron who never understands the point of anything

i'm sorry. what am i not understanding that needs correcting from such a smart individual as yourself?

I'm going to have to remember this one when someone's ranting about how many temporary jobs were lost..... Sounds like thousands of permanent jobs were saved.
:)

You mean jobs that already existed?

Correct. Thousands of recurring permanent jobs that already existed were not replaced by thousands of TEMPORARY one time jobs building the pipeline.

Temporary jobs are still jobs. Now 11,000 people need to go find a different opportunity. Even with the pipeline, those truck drivers and train conductors would still have jobs.

Now?? Biden said he would revoke the permit for Keystone like.. 8 months ago.. and he was elected 3 months ago... But if these people don't already have pipe welding/ pipe construction jobs elsewhere perhaps they could look into a career in building miniature violins to play sad, sad songs to mourn the death of pipeline. :(

Or...... They could go on ZipRecruiter and look though the 12,000+ pipeline construction job opportunities currently posted.
:)

Or they can learn how to code!

:P

:P
Wasn't elon or someone looking into that?

I don't know. But they experimented with it with early Subway trains.

This is about keeping that immensely dirty Alberta tar sands oil in the ground, not about transporting it, lol. That's a big ol' red herring issue.

Burning the oil itself causes immense environmental damage.

Some of it will be extracted without KeystoneXL, but less of it.

You do realize that burning isn't the only thing that one does with oil, don't you?

Look around you, 90% of consumer goods are made of petroleum.

Think I'm wrong, what's your phone or computer made out of...wood? If you're so against petroleum products throw away all of your devices!

Indeed, our modern industrialized world is founded upon many products whose production and use creates CO2 emissions. We need streamlining and refinement of many industrial processes.

The problem of our relationship to the environment is multifaceted and extraordinarily complex. Buying a Tesla and calling it a day isn't going to do it, not least for the reason that the electricity fueling the electric car is derived from an electric grid with a large makeup of coal/oil/natural gas.

But we sure won't get a handle on it by denying the problem and refusing to take even minimal steps.

"Buying a Tesla and calling it a day isn't going to do it, not least for the reason that the electricity fueling the electric car is derived from an electric grid with a large makeup of coal/oil/natural gas."

Absolutely agree to that! I was out last week and saw a Tesla with a license plate that said "COLPWRD". I'm still kicking myself that I didn't take a picture of that!
