Why?
You spill fuel on pavement every time you fill up with gas. This is washed down the storm sewer into our waterways. Not to mention that the GHGs emitted by the vehicles is a far greater threat.
Opposition to pipelines only harms Albertans. The US state department found that this pipeline reduces GHG emissions when oil prices were below 80 or so a barrel.
Get rid of Cars and tax emissions to address the environmental concerns. Until then Pipelines are the most environmentally friendly method of transporting a product to meet its demands.
