what does who buys the oil have to do with it? and every country imports and exports. i even read that a company here makes chopsticks that china imports.
at any rate, the customer isnt important. what is important is if the product is too harmful to make it worth extracting. based on the fact they are already extracting it that answer must be no. does the fact that a nasa guy who is a foe of fossil fuels is against this bother me? no. i find us using food as fuel while people starve far more bothersome. will this pipeline create needed jobs? yes, and that is regardless of who buys.
since you believe we elect our officials to take care of us, and theyve signed off on it, i dont see how you can complain. surely they have done their due diligence, have considered environmental impacts, whether there really is a danger that is too great, or whether they feel that proper engineering and construction can handle this task.
