pipelines

We have repeatedly discussed federalism and its rightful definition.

If they can’t stop energy development, they block pipeline transport (and get unexpected help).

A section of the Keystone Pipeline that was completed in 2011 sprung a leak, spilling approximately 210,000 gallons of oil in South Dakota. What does it mean for safety?

Efforts to block and sabotage pipelines hurt jobs, economic growth, middle class, human safety.

Replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy would inflict major land, wildlife, resource damage.

The Atlantic Coast Pipeline is set to bring in hundreds of well paying jobs all through the miracle of fracking.

Pipeline opponents say the spill is proof pipelines cannot be operated safely, but the truth is pipelines are much safer than many other human activities, including “safe sex.”

For Obama, the surprise election of Donald Trump likely means the new president-elect will soon get to use a familiar phrase on Obama’s executive overreaches: “You’re fired.”

“We can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices,” President Obama told an audience four years ago at the University of Miami. Like this year, it was an election year and Obama was running for re-election. Later in his speech, he added: “anybody who tells you that we can drill our way out of this problem doesn’t know what they’re talking about, or just isn’t telling you the truth.”
