 This keystone pipeline looks like it would be a good target for terrorist, but any way Obama evidently don't want it approved,5 years ,and still a no go for the permit to build it.

you mean the koch brothers and the canadian oil companies that would make all the dough off screwing up our farmer's land by eminent domain are turning up the heat on their paid off republican stooges in congress....

Trains and trucks are more costly and dangerous with importing Canadian crude oil.   Obama should catch on the the danger and waste...

[ttopcat]

Apparently democrats senators want it approved as bad as some of the republicans. After the gulf oil disaster Obama probably don't want nothing to do with it.

[hoosier_daddy]

that is why they should truck it over their land to their ports, moron.  what are we, the sludge highway of canada?  we use our taxes to build great highways so canadian oil companies and the koch brothers can use them to make dough all for themselves? and yeah, ttopcat, some, very few, democrats from southern, oil producing states are stooges for the oil company.  many many many more are not.  no republican ever votes against what the koch brothers and big oil wants.

(Reuters) - A mile-long train hauling oil from Canada derailed and leaked 30,000 gallons of crude in western Minnesota.
 
Hooty and Obama do not care, why?

To Texas?   What a moron...

The thing could blow out ,and make one hell of a mess to clean up.

[sweetwater5s9]

Could, if, maybe, but less of a mess than trains and trucks as the pipeline can be shut down at any interval along the way to our refineries with the flip of a switch.

How many miles of pipeline between intervals after all the pipeline is almost 1200 miles long, 20 miles of pipe can hold a heck of a lot of oil.
