Most residents do want the pipeline, few are against and worry too much
Nick,
I live in Oklahoma, have relatives in Kansas and Nebraska, and have not heard one complaint about the pipeline. All the local papers I have read in their editorials wonder when the administration is going to wake up and stop doing all it can to kill our economy, let American know-how make use of resources available to us to provide jobs and strengthen our economy. The XL pipeline will do much to help by being built, and provide more stimulus when in operation. When was the last time anyone heard of a new major pipeline causing a major oil spill? With the new technology use in pipeline construction, the safety systems and redundant controls, the threat is very minute, almost none existent. Also, the Ogalalla aquifer is considerably deeper than any portion of the pipeline would be placed. Yes, many can cry wolf all the time, insist their voice is the only one heard by our liberal media. Meanwhile, what about the clear thinkers, those unemployed in the construction industry and modern, clean petroleum industries because of narrow sighted nay sayers.... both in Government and public sectors ?
