The Trans Canada Pipeline Company wants very much to build a 16 inch steel pipeline to carry oil from Alberta to refineries in Texas. The line would cross Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. It would provide some 20K construction jobs for the duration that the line is being built. Estimates put that at around two years. It might be longer. But there's a problem.

The greens are pinning their hopes on derailing this worthy project in the State of Nebraska. Their fear mongering concerns possible contamination of the Ogallala aquifer. A large source of underground fresh water, Hysteria from the dirt people has reigned supreme with outrageous lies presented as facts.

The Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, part of the US State Department has approved, as well as the Energy Department. The pipelines should be defeated based on science not emotion. So far, science is winning, as it should.

Up in Pennsylvania they want to extract natural gas by the hydraulic fracturing of shale rock, a process called fracking, fear mongering, by the greens. They say underground water supplies will be contaminated. They want us to live in a world where it's cold, dark, and we're all hungry this is a direct quote from Aubrey McClendon, CEO of Chesapeake Energy Corporation. And he's right! Academic veracity is the basis of the lies from the environmentalists.
