i did some reading on the alaska pipeline, as i figured that would be a valid comparison..based on what i read, the concerns voiced, the steps taken before and during building, the lack of negative environmental impact, and the fact that the pipeline has proved to be the best way to move all that petroleum, i see no reason to reject the building of this proposed project. according to the post article i read, canada will be extracting the oil regardless of mode of transport. a pipeline would be a better way to move that product than any alternative form of transport. state dept has already done its study, i think we should do it.
