"Energy = Security"

>>> ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! Energy does equal security.

>>> And it's going to take a heck of a lot more effort than this to give the US energy security - as even the energy department notes.

>>> Furthermore, giving massive taxpayer subsidies to big oil companies to underwrite the pipeline (because they say it 'doesn't make economic sense for them without subsidies') is hardly "all good".

>>> One would hope that energy development would be able to stand on it's own two feet in a free market... but if the taxpayers are going to subsidize the whole thing, then we might as well demand that the pipeline run to the upper mid-west distribution points... because that is the only region of the US (according to Cheney's energy task force) that runs short (subjecting it to price spikes) of oil products.

>>> Instead of running the pipeline where the Big Oil companies want to run it (designed so they can sell the oil overseas, defeating the whole push for "US Energy Security").
