Chilly,

XL pipeline is a Canadian project trying to use the USA as a “corridor” to carry their super dirty sand oil. In case you do not know it the terminology used to describe this trash is “Heavy Oil”; in actual fact it has the density of the TAR used to cover any highway. This sort of GOO will be refined either in Texas or Lousiana and transported overseas by tankers. Summing it up: the USA will be saddled with the danger (REAL) of spill from the pipeline the clean-up of which will be of difficult solution just because of the density of the GOO coming of the damaged point of the pipeline. Even assuming there will be no spill, once refined, the tar sand heavy oil will leave behind the equivalent of pet coke. Either pet coke (hills and hills of it) will be left in the open as two brothers industrialist tried to do in Chicago, endangering the health and lungs of Chicagoans living in the vicinity, or the tar coke will have to be interred at very high costs (for whom??).
Concluding, without using political faction of one type of another: have you ever thought why Canada would not be interested to transport themselves the tar sand through Canada to a Canadian refinery, keep the pet coke for themselves and carry the refined oil to foreign markets?
Because Canadians are not that stupid and they hope that with the assistance of FOX NEWS and the useful idiots in the GOP, the USA will do the dirty work CANADA never dream to do.

Hmmm… I wonder if this rail magnate is opposed to the Keystone Pipeline… I wonder how many leftist politicians are in his pocket to keep it unbuilt…
