So ... Canada will not approve or build this pipeline to either of their coasts (they are not idiots). But we should.

There have already been 11 oils spills with this field. Spills are virtually guaranteed due to type of corrosive crude being sent through pipeline.

TransCanada has already repeatedly lied to Nebraskans regarding taking their property (telling them they already had permits to build, that the neighbors had already sold out, offering too little for land, etc)

Many Republicans oppose this project (it cuts through only red states)

This will raise oil prices in the US midwest (by removing the current overabundance locally that suppresses prices)

Ogallalala. That would be the end of the US as the "bread basket" of the world on the great plains.

The climate damage and forest damage will be irreversible.

This is why our country is in the handbasket, wondering why we are getting warmer every day.
