So you too want Americans to be without work? You would rather see America Oil Dependent than Oil Independent? Why? What is wrong with oil independence from foreign sources outside of this this hemisphere? What is wrong with putting Americans back to work? Oil is the Engine of prosperity. Not doing the pipeline means there are fewer Americans working and the Energy Independence is nothing but a pipe dream. Build the Pipeline and Watch what happens. Is better than not building the pipeline and watching what happens ... and this is not an opinion.

The oil being transported across government seized land is not destined for US consumption...it will go on the world market...but is primarily aimed for Chinese consumption. I’m not understanding how you think it makes US energy independent.

The amount of jobs created are actually very few and they would be temporary jobs. But I would still be fine with all of that if the pipeline could be built without seizing private property.

I still have never read or heard why Canada is not building the pipeline across their own country. Not being snarky..I’ve just don’t know why they don’t build it in Canada.

I will never understand the logic of taking people’s land away from them when they don’t want to sell it...w/o a compelling...very compelling reason.
