Yea Obama et.al. idiots would rather have 1 million barrels floating one mile on the ocean versus 700 barrels traveling one mile on dry land!

Ask a 10 year old kid... which is a bigger number 1 million or 700?
Ask anyone which would have the greater damage to the environment 1 million barrels traveling one mile or 700 barrels traveling one mile?

These are the ten largest OIL spills in history plus Exxon Valdez... at 750,000 barrels...
Ships /tankers 10,285,714 barrels
War/fires 8,000,000 barrels
Other-- 7,309,529 barrels

STRANGE isn't it... NOT ONE of the top ten was an OIL PIPELINE... YET in USA alone 185,000 MILES of oil pipeline!

And even stranger of the top 11 spills 7 by OIL tankers.... GEEZ is there a clue somewhere there??

PLEASE THAT comment had NOTHING to do with the reality!

Do you agree that 1 million barrels of oil traveling one mile on the OPEN OCEAN is far more dangerous (as the statistics show!!!) then 700 barrels traveling one mile in an pipeline on land?
Is that too complicated? Because after all this is the stupidity of the argument against the pipeline! Which would do more harm to the environment 1 million barrels traveling one mile on the open ocean OR 700 barrels traveling one mile on land??
Come on folks is that just too hard to comprehend???

 

[healthmyths]

See folks if simple common sense was applied just maybe these idiots that are obviously FOR 1 million barrels to go on the ocean..(and it will you idiots!!... Canada will sell the oil to someone that will need to ship by tanker... if the pipeline isn't built!) would get it through their thick heads that is a gigantic risk!

These same idiots that don't know which is a bigger number 1 million barrels or 700 barrels are also the idiots that come with 46 million uninsured which got the
ACA passed by just 7 votes! Think of the gigantic mess we have in health care now and all because there were truly less then 5 million that WANTED and NEEDED health insurance... NOT 46 million!!!

Where in the hell is the common sense to figure these simple math problems out???
For example... why would you count 10 million people as "uninsured' when they are illegals?
Why would you add more rules,etc. to Medicaid when Medicaid before ACA couldn't get 14 million people registered which made up that 46 million!
Finally why force 18 million people to buy health insurance when they don't want it? The problem is there were never truly 46 million you idiots
still believe valid!

Which would be more of an environmental disaster??
A shipwreck tanker spilling 1 million barrels or a pipeline that carries LESS THEN 700 barrels in one mile of monitored on dry land pipe?

God..... how can you be so f...king dumb?

Point is very simple can you answer the simple question?
If you have an 1 million barrel tanker traveling one mile on the open ocean and a pipeline on dry land carrying 700 barrels in one mile...
WHICH would cause the most environmental damage? Clue: Are 1 million barrels more then 700 barrels?

Gas powered cars to get to the supermarket? How about the supermarket itself? Pretty much everything in the supermarket owes its existence, one way or another, to petroleum. This is not an addiction. Oil is an organ in the body that is human society. Good luck on cutting it out without causing major damage. BTW: what was used to build those cars (gas, electric or other) we drive to the market?

I hear that a certain someone, who believes that taxes on the rotten scoundrel rich are not high enough, has a considerable amount of financial interest in rail shipping.

The thing is, there are approximately 187,189,915,062,857,142,857 gallons of water, or roughly 187 quintillion gallons of water in just the Pacific Ocean. That's quintillion, not quadtrillion. A million gallon spill is a drop in the bucket and a recoverable incident.

An aquifer the size of Lake Huron such as the Ogallala aquifer is fragile and even a small spill can create irreparable and unrecoverable damage. It's like the difference between pouring a gallon of water in your pond. It might do a small amount of damage but it probably won't leak into your well. If the gallon of oil is poured directly into your well, you are probably going to have to find a new water source because the crap coming out of your well will no longer be drinkable.

NO oddly "conservatives" like me FREAK because IDIOTS like you want 1 million barrels of oil to travel one mile on the open ocean when the simple solution is moving 700 barrels one mile in a pipeline on dry land!
Seems so odd people like you are SO concerned about the environment you can't comprehend that 1 million barrels in a tanker traveling one mile on the ocean is MORE damaging then 700 barrels traveling one mile in a pipeline!

Unbelievable how such a simple concept befuddles idiots!

What is the problem in admitting it would be environmentally idiotic to ship 1 million barrels in a tanker,especially knowing the statistics for oil tankers are 6 of the 11 MAJOR oil spills come from OIL TANKERS!

Why do you have a problem just being honest and saying yup 1 million barrels traveling in a tanker one mile is MORE dangerous
then 700 barrels traveling one mile in a pipeline?

Is the logic and simplicity TOO much to handle???

a tanker ... draw a map to the closest or ALL the refineries in the US ... better yet, how long will it take and at what cost would it take a million gallon tanker to circumvent So. America and make it to Houston via the Gulf of Mexico .. then ask yourself how fn' dumb are YOU

Actually what the dear leader is holding up is far less than the 1100 miles because the southern leg of the line is already being built from Cushing, OK to Port Arthur, TX.
