Now that the pesky pipeline is out of the way we can make a safe investment, 25k tank cars. Maybe he'll throw a few ducats into track repair too. Nah, screw it, what kind of no account lowlife lives next to RR tracks anyway. Well just give them a case of Coke.

All that matters here is that the brain dead environmentalists have been appeased, along with the rest of the idiot leftist base. The environment will now endure more oil spills, and the atmosphere will receive more carbon emissions. Keeps the agenda going while accomplishing absolutely nothing positive. More fodder for the campaign trail, which of course is all this was ever about. Job well done.

Have you ever noticed how the victims of obama's policies are almost invariably people who don't support him? The military, workers in coal and oil, retired people living on investments, responsible people who paid for their own health insurance, et al.

It's not $30 per barrel to haul oil, it's more like $10-15.

The current average cost to ship oil by rail from Alberta to Texas is $14 to $18 per barrel.
The cost via pipeline would be approx. $3 per barrel.

More general info...
http://www.aopl.org/pipeline-basics/about-pipelines/

"The cost to transport crude oil or petroleum products by pipeline is a fraction of the cost of other modes of transportation. The cost to ship crude oil by rail is generally $10 to $15 per barrel versus under $5 per barrel by pipeline."

If we keep posting "one more example" of leftist stupidity... We may be here for a while.

The rightest stupidy was the complete disregard for private property, envoking eminent domain for a private company, a foreign company at that. If they honored private property rights that pipeline would look like a Texas Jerrymandered district.

Why? Because you say so? The facts, as have already been produced by myself and others prove that this idiotic decision will actually add more pollution than the pipeline would have. You can wish it wasn't true, which is typically leftist, but the facts, as per usual, destroy the leftist position.
