Oil demand on this planet is still growing, and very likely will for 10-20 years yet. These lines fill demand in the safest, most efficient way possible. Sure it's good for producers but it's good for every consumer as well. Demand is what it is without these lines. If those lines are not built the same amount of oil is produced globally ( less in can and ND though) but will cost more and pose a much greater environmental risk via worse transport methods.
Just because a OG co makes money it doesn't mean everything associated with it is evil.
If the world 'needs' to go in the direction you are ill using to, blocking lines 98%build and approved by the AC of engineers solves nothing. The world will move the way you are thinking is through reduced demand and economic substitute. Your way of thinking is misery loves company so let's try to find ways to bully the oil companies.
