How about some benzene in your water? Yellowstone river gets Keystoned.

We could have lots of power except for the not invented here syndrome. The CANDU nuclear reactor does not need enriched uranium (in fact it could use up all the high pressure reactors spent fuel) and it is designed to fail safe unlike Fukushima. The fuel control rods are held up by electro-magnets, if the power fails they drop and shut down the reaction.

Of course we need oil and such but at least lets not be stupid about it. Pipelines can be made pretty safe but frex when natural gas was introduced into cities that previously ran coal gas there were problems. Natural gas is a scrubber, it will clean out years of crud and polish the interior of a pipe like Brasso. In the process it will find every pinhole in the pipe and welds. Once it escapes all it takes is a spark and Boom.

Senate version was passed today by a vote of 62-36. Now the House is looking to mege their version or pass the Senate version. Obama is still poised to veto this for now I think and this is usurping his executive authority.

What really gets me is that Sen. Claire McCaskill who voted for this bill said this: "I was proud to vote to approve Keystone, which passed the Senate with a bipartisan 62-36 vote."

Hos is this bi-partisan when just a handful of Democrats joined the Republicans and they are probably from the states that the pipeline will go through.
