QUOTE It would be far more efficient to build a pipeline.
I agree, pipelines are better, and we already have them criss-crossing the nation. Including a couple phases of the Keystone pipeline. But, is it too much to ask that the oil companies not build the Keystone XL phase of the pipeline over a very large freshwater aquifer?
There's been about thirty or so spills of the first phases of the Keystone pipeline, so it's inevitable that they'll spill in the XL phase if given the chance.
I know, we can trust the oil companies to be safe and not screw it up. Remember how safe they were in the Gulf of Mexico?!
You guys were chanting "Drill baby, drill" right up until Deepwater Horizon.

QUOTE When corn, wheat, sugar and beans aren't being delivered when promised many more problems arise. Elevators and grain storage facilities are not able to move their goods to market when the food products are needed... Thanks to Bambino and his failure to sign the Keystone pipeline bill, this will translate into increases in the products you find on the shelf.
What do you think the cost of corn, wheat, sugar, and beans would rise to when bituminous sands and crude oil seep into the Ogallala aquifer? 
Farmers depend on water a lot more than they depend on tar sands from Canada.

I guess there is no sure way of transporting oil. Maybe we need to not use so much. Oh yeah, this is all for export.

They are a necessary evil and there are many like them in this world. Farmers are a good example. They buy off politicians, they sweep things under the rug like land pollution, they're greedy and some of them have political aspirations and have gone as far as Vice President and president of the US.
Are we paying attention?
