Keystone XL has been Officially REJECTED

[captain morgan]

Interesting isn't it?

The green alternative is out there, yet none of the tards have asked even the most basic of questions like 'where will the electricity come from to power this choice'?

Chances are that the immediate answer will be coal... The irony is palpable

Remember in 1973 when Skylab was supposed to be the link to estblishing villages on the moon by year 2000?

 

[captain morgan]

Space colonies galore... And those wonderful little space-cars like on the Jetsons.

... Ahhhh, good times

 

[petros]

And Nixon's War on Cancer providing a cure by 1980.

Does Flossy own a hybrid or is he just blowing smoke with his global warming preaching crap?

 

[petros]

I'd wager a weeks pay he drives an import.

Not yet.

Would rather go electric.

Hopefully we can take away money from the oil industry and use it to build the infrastructure to support that.

 

[DaSleeper]

More hot air!
Travel 40 miles then recharge for 6hrs

You are unconcerned with the extra batteries which will need to be made and the crushing environmental impact of those batteries manufacture, and eventual disposal?

Of course assuming that CO2 is actually anything to be concerned with. If it isn't, you would have done far worse damage to the environment to protect it from nothing.

But the current car you drive is not electric or a Hybrid? Is it a big sedan or a mini-van or SUV by chance?

Why waste the money? Switch to ethanol, no need for all new infrastructure.
Typical Dipper thinking though, spend someone else's money to solve a non-existent problem.

 

[mentalfloss]

Unfortunately, this problem is very real.

 

[CDNBear]

Pipelines don't get rid of rail transport.

They actually increase demand which means a higher likelihood of a spill.

Can you please explain how?

Serious question.

So what kind of car do you drive?

 

[captain morgan]

Can you please explain how?

Serious question.

There is no answer that you should expect, at least not anything based on logic and reality

So what kind of car do you drive?

.... Likely a poorly tuned, oil burning wrecker... His justification will be based on that it's a 4-banger and therefore, better for the environment despite it having worse efficiency than a 12 cyl diesel bus.

That's generally the way the eco-ideologues think when they are driving (1 person per car) to the next save-the-planet-rally

 

[mentalfloss]

Sure.

More pipelines means higher demand because the transport method is more efficient. Rail also goes up because of the increased demand so there is a higher likelihood of a spill.

 

[petros]

That is obsurd.

 

[HarperCons]

What a populist facade, but no capitalist is turning down a profitable endeavor - they all worship at the altar of profit.

Chart (1) above: while environmental activists were focused on stopping the 1,179 mile Keystone XL pipeline project the oil and gas industry built 8,000 miles of alternative pipelines to transport dirty oil from Canada through the U.S. for export. It hardly seems an accident that U.S. President Barack Obama waited until oil was below the breakeven price of $43 (Graph (2) below) to announce that he would prohibit the now (temporarily) economically unviable pipeline project. That the U.S. military is the largest institutional consumer of oil and gas and its central mission in recent decades has been to ‘liberate’ fresh supplies should help clarify the depth of the political challenge that stands in the way of effective ‘reform.’ Source: National Post.

 

[mentalfloss]

The fact that it wasn't profitable was obvious but the optics of the move was important when you consider the environmental agenda of his administration.

 

[CDNBear]

Sure.

More pipelines means higher demand because the transport method is more efficient. Rail also goes up because of the increased demand so there is a higher likelihood of a spill.

You're an idiot.

So what kind of car do you drive?
