QUOTE Politics aside, what Senate Democrats are considering is a terrible bill. Fast-tracking the pipeline before its route is even finalized means that the project would be exempt from requirements in the National Environmental Policy Act, the Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act and other environmental protections. And taxpayers would bear the cost of cleaning up leaks and spills since companies who transport oil from tar sands are exempt from paying taxes to the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund. "If you were 100 percent for the Keystone pipeline, you would have to have a problem with the legislation on the floor, because it exempts the TransCanada pipeline initiative from the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said at a press briefing on Thursday at the Capitol. "God willing there would never be a leak. But if there is, [TransCanada] would be totally off the hook." http://m.thenation.com/blog...-stupid

Just a feeble attempt to save Mary.

#1, any time something is rushed through, something just is not right.
#2, I just don't see the benefit of this pipeline for our country.

The pipeline already exists here, they want to extend it to the gulf. How does that benefit us?

Yes...and they will refine and ship out. So, the question remains. How does this benefit the U.S. ?

I'm sure they'll sell some here,
Plus it give the union thugs something to occupy themselves with for awhile.
Besides, how does it help us if the crude gets shipped to China?
