Keystone,Buffett,wackos and the TRUTH

Tuesday, February 26, 2013

This is according to Professor James Goeke, a hydro-geologist who retired from the University of Nebraska earlier this year after a forty-year career of studying the Ogallala aquifer and the Sand Hills region that overlies it. He is the foremost expert on the aquifer, and he informs us that the geological structure of the formation precludes any possibility that oil could travel for more than a few hundred feet in any direction before encountering substrate. Quite simply, the aquifer and the land above it are not in any real danger from this project.

A year after the election of Obama, Warren Buffett bought a giant railroad, the Burlington Northern Santa Fe. The BNSF has more than 32,000 miles of track and right-of-way in this nation, running from the west coast and through the agricultural heartland of America. It is also hauls coal from the mines in Montana and Wyoming and is the railroad with the best existing north-south infrastructure. In fact, it's quite well-situated to perform precisely the task for which TransCanada has proposed to build a pipeline.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain

I love these threads. Let's see how many liberal eco-whackos respond after getting slapped in the face by the cold, hard hand of truth.

Im looking forward to the trashing of the professor named in the thread. Surely libs will do everything to disavow his every word because of where it was done or who else was involved or someway..somehow..the left can not let TRUTH like this out of the bag.

and as far as daryl hannah...well maybe someone can read it to her.

You give her too much credit. Maybe they could draw her pictures with crayons instead.

You can't replace a pipeline with a railroad. The flow rate through the XL line would require 14 100-car unit trains per day to keep up. And that's loading 14 trains per day, never mind getting them to the port, offloading them and getting them back.

Way too many trains, crews, and fuel to make it viable.

The telling line in the write up is what I have been stressing all along. All the pretense against the pipe is BS, the strong left are ANTI FOSSIL FUEL.

Yet they keep the charade going, pretending otherwise.
