There are so many pipelines being constructed in the US right, as well as Nat Gas processing plants, that it is hard to find good welders. We have so many new oil plays onshore, and offshore in the Gulf, that the oil companies can’t keep up. And then there is all the Nat Gas available, that we can use as a transportation fuel, either as CNG or LNG, we don’t need to be importing. Just build the Keystone from the Bakken, in ND to the Gulf.

Where’s the discussion about that?

What about the animals? What about the trees? What about the birds? The water?

Would you make your pet dog go live on the moonscape that would be the aftermath of the tar sands? It will be a stinking, uninhabitable, irrevocable disaster.
