I, personally, am for the pipeline. Some would argue that this is easy for me to say since none of our land is affected, but even if we did have land that the pipeline would cross, I would be in favor of it. The pipeline would create jobs, and it would be an eventual aid in keeping necessary fuel prices lower than they will be otherwise. Some of the very folks that are against the pipeline don't seem to have any qualms about putting chemically synthesized inorganic fertilizer on their fields. If Obama and the greenie-weenies are against the pipeline, that is all the more reason for me to be for it.

smalltime said:Foreign oil is still foreign oil.Canada just as well build thier own refinery and port and the U.S. needs to develope its own energy sources.Pipelines do break and oil does spill and water does get ruined.Better safe than sorry.

Trinity man said:We have pipelines running all over our place and they are check weekly for leaks. Its crazy people think just because its a pipeline oil just flows out of it and gets into the water.

Your right Katrina about the erosion. I have toured the Trans Canada pipeline through the Great Sandhills in Saskatchewan. I think there is 4 lines running parallel put in over the years. They were fenced out and had crossings to let cattle get across for water. That was a mistake as it funneled the cattle into narrow channels a the sand eroded badly. Since then they have worked with producers and developed water ie pipelines to distribute the cattle.
They have learned alot since they put in the first line 50 years ago.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican lawmakers will try to force the Obama administration to approve the Canada-to-Texas Keystone XL pipeline by attaching it to a highway bill that Congress will consider next month, House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner said on Sunday.
President Barack Obama earlier this month denied TransCanada's application for the oil sands pipeline, citing lack of time to review an alternative route within a 60-day window for action set by Congress.
Republicans have since been looking for a vehicle to resurrect the $7 billion project, and Boehner said that would be a House Republican energy and highway bill.
"If (Keystone) is not enacted before we take up the American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act, it will be part of it," Boehner said on ABC's "This Week" news program.
Environmentalists and some Democrats oppose Keystone, citing higher greenhouse gas emissions, while most Republicans say it would create needed jobs.
Republicans in the Senate also plan to introduce a Keystone bill. Some Senate Democrats back the pipeline, but its passage is not guaranteed in the body.
Parts of the House Republican plan, such as opening up the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge to oil exploration, stand little chance of passing the Democratic-controlled U.S. Senate.
Attaching Keystone to a pending deal to extend payroll tax cuts for workers, which has greater bipartisan backing than the highway bills, is another vehicle Republicans are considering.
