Provision May Halt Pipeline, but Oil Is Still Likely to Flow

[Mr. H.]

It's not as if Nebraska is without state regulation of such activities.
Some sites related to ground water, oil and gas, and pipelines:

DNR Ground Water Rules

- Rules and Statutes

Pipeline - Nebraska Public Services Commission

He approved the Keystone pipeline. There are no objections, except the DC clowns.
Nebraska governor signs bills to reroute Keystone pipeline | Reuters

He approved rerouting it. That proves that environmental concerns ARE important and begs the question of "are there anymore problem areas?" That's something we wouldn't find out until too late, if the Reps "60-day" plan were in effect.

Until "too late" for what? Nebraska has been underlain with pipelines for decades.
And for decades the aquifir has been polluted by....

...agriculture.

Why are there never "environmental concerns" expressed when it comes to agriculture?

Wouldn't want to increase their load, then. Besides, Nebraska's concerns have been taken care of. What about other areas and can they be properly assessed in 60 days?

Increase their load of what? Natural gas, petroleum, and products?

How about we put a freeze on agriculture. They're the ones polluting the aquifir, not hydrocarbons.

Here's the real story....the pipeline threatens the Nebraska water supply...



TransCanada

Is it "the real story?"

Or are you as full of crap as Obama:

The Bloomberg.com article in your citation also says:

The aquifer isn’t at risk and “the route that has been selected is the most environmentally responsible and has the least impact to the land the pipeline will go through,”

and

In August, the State Department issued a final environmental impact statement saying the project will cause “no significant” environmental damage provided that TransCanada complies with U.S. law.

So the Republican governor of Nebraska is an environmental wacko?

He approved the Keystone pipeline. There are no objections, except the DC clowns.

He approved rerouting it.

Now an environmental study has to be done.

Those things take time.

But the Republicans want to ram it through because they represent Big Oil, Wall Street, and the super rich.

Have I not said for 2 years, this guy ^^is the most naive stupid fcukk on the boards!!!

"Republicans........represent..........Wall Street"

Wall Street Still Gives More Cash to Obama Than to Republicans -- Daily Intel


Oh.....and Obama is blowing away George Bush on Wall Street donations as compared to 2004!!

Leave it to the far left to fcukk the country over putting their k00k agenda's over jobs. At every turn, if their is a choice between people losing jobs or not getting jobs.....as comapred to their agenda........... their response INVARIABLY is 'Fcukk You!!!" to the jobs.


Cant wait 'till 11 months from now when their k00k ideology gets mothballed for 2generations. And expect a raucus celebration in Gay MSPAint Photobucket Classics delivered by Skooks to rub the salt in the wound when it goes down.



And lets not forget when this boob Chris, 2 months ago was predicting this massive revolution that would be rising from the 99%er assholes....................LOL...........but..................

I love when naive weenies pwn themselves..............
