Here’s hoping a plan succeeds. It’s lunacy to be paying what we do when we have untapped oil by the nation-load here on the homefront.

The first pipeline is about 700 miles long and cost about $30 billion in normalized 2006 dollars.

The first two years were spent in planning, design, and permit acquisition (IIRC about 5,000+ permits from the feds and Akaska).

Actual build time of the 600 miles of pipeline from start to finish was just over three years.

Now, compare that to “The Fence.”

By the way, has anyone ever seen even one film clip of the allegedly ongoing effort to build “The Fence” on our southern border? I recall such clips and coverage of The Pipeline nearly nightly in the 70s.

Of course you can’t get anything done in the USA unless BIG OIL approves it first.

Maybe now BP will have enough to hire someone to clean their filty restrooms. I refuse to buy anything from that company.
