The pipeline is a net loss for the United States, and US consumers. American consumers would pay more for gasoline, and the American public would be on the hook for all the environmental damage. We gain nothing, and lose a lot. That's the bottom line.
I'd rather import oil from Canada than Saudi Arabia.
And at $100 a barrel, somebody is going to buy it. Oil is a global commodity.
We'd be on the hook for all the environmental damage? Not Canadians?
National security doing an oil crisis?
More trade with our nearest neighbor?
Oil pipeline jobs?
Those seem to outweigh any negatives.
Once again I just can't agree with your impeccable logic.
This one is a no brainer.
Just saying yes creates 1000's of jobs, more than the government gets spending billions on Soylendras.
