So you can badmouth oil all you want.  But we aren't the ones being hypocrites here.  You are.

I was involved and responded to  several spills, and other environmental emergencies.  Invariably equipment breaks, and operators will make mistakes.  Industry can do bettter, but thinking there will never be a spill, is folly. 

BUT..  without fossil fuels, we would still be riding in horse and buggies, not have HVAC, be able to transverse the globe via flight, no plastic contianers, asphalt to drive on,  have ability to mass produce rubber tires, medical devices, and a million other products and innovations  to celebrate our technological advances of the past 120 years.

I kind of view TBR as a welcome respite of sanity, but when I see trolls championing the left wing banner of enviro-whacko-ism here, I am not gong to idly sit on my hands.  99%+ of the folks I worked with at several plants, are just as concerned about environmental protection as anyone else   The ranks are full of fisherman and sportsmen who know and realize how important it is to minimize industy's impact.

And to the numbnut who is "polluting" this thread.  I was proud of the stewardship I provided in my 40 years  making sure that this took place not only legally, but proactively.  'll wager any amount that what I have done has 100X helped the cause more than the silliness you have provided here or wherever else you slither in.

Love the avatar.  My brother lived in Germany for awhile and said the Germans absolutely loved Al Bundy.

LOL!  Yeah, but who didn't like Al Bundy?  Well, besides (Some woman in Michigan)Terry Rakolta!  It was rumored that the Cast sent Rakolta flowers every year while the show was in production!.

Keystone pipeline officially canceled after Biden revokes key permit

WED, JUN 9 20215:40 PM EDT


A $9 billion oil pipeline that became a symbol of the rising political clout of climate change advocates and a flash point in U.S.-Canada relations was officially canceled on Wednesday.

Keystone XL, which was proposed in 2008 to bring oil from Canada’s Western tar sands to U.S. refiners, was halted by owner TC Energy
 after U.S. President Joe Biden this year revoked a key permit needed for a U.S. stretch of the 1,200-mile project.

Opponents of the line fought its construction for years, saying it was unnecessary and would hamper the U.S. transition to cleaner fuels. Its demise comes as other North American oil pipelines, including Dakota Access and Enbridge Line 3, face continued opposition from environmental groups. ​

“This is a landmark moment in the fight against the climate crisis,” said Jared Margolis, a senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity. “We’re hopeful that the Biden administration will continue to shift this country in the right direction by opposing fossil fuel projects.”  .  .  .

Keystone was cancelled because ultra liberal donor Warren Buffett  owns the railways that transport the tar sands from Canada down to the refinery in Texas or LA.  The tar oil from canada  was never shut down..we are still getting oil from it by train instead of by pipeline


Good by. I will let you have the last word.

Speaking of train accidents v. wind mill blades:

oooh ahhh on e or two examples. Do you know how many semi gas tanklers are involved in accidents every year and how many people killed? Do you know how idiotic your arguments are to normal mentally sane people? Just like your Ukraine post. No normal sane person does that. 

I can't believe I am arguing with a mentally ill person on this fine Saturday afternoon.

Nice performance. Looks like AOC's ego is applying for statehood.

Just watching a Netflix documentary on volcanos ... one in the Dominican Republic spews out more sulfur dioxide in ONE WEEK than all cars in the United States do in A YEAR!   :bolt:
Also CO2, and when you add all the other active volcanoes just on the Pacific ring of fire? I seem to recall that the effect of all that ash and gas usually results in lower global temps :shrug:

  As for the train derailment, the only reason crude is shipped on rail cars is because liberals block each and every attempt to build pipelines.



Liberals are  not blocking shit. I live right atop Marcellus Utica shale and gas lines zig zap every direction across my county and not a single protest

How many miles of natural gas pipelines are there in the United States?
Natural gas pipelines - U.S. Energy Information ...
about 3 million miles
The U.S. natural gas pipeline network is a highly integrated network that moves natural gas throughout the continental United States. The pipeline network has about 3 million miles of mainline and other pipelines that link natural gas production areas and storage facilities with consumers.

Indians and farmers and business owners  were more against the Keystone pipeline than anyone That was about the only pipeline protested in recent  years

Opposition to Keystone XL centered on the devastating environmental consequences of the project. The pipeline faced more than a decade of sustained protests from environmental activists and organizations; Indigenous communities; religious leaders; and the farmers, ranchers, and business owners along its proposed route.Apr 7, 2017
