>> Straw man. Never said that.

It isn't a "straw man". The oil is going to be transported one way or the other. It is ignorant to think otherwise; the resource isn't just going to sit there indefinitely.


Apparently, you don't understand about what you are arguing. The Canadian oil will still get to the Gulf thru a pipeline if the last bit of the Keystone is not built. It will just take longer. The straw man is that I never said anything about other means of transport beyond the pipeline.......you made that one up all by yourself.

>> And I showed you a map that shows the line going right over the main part of the aquifer.

As he explained, it isn't as though it a pool of water that dumping oil into will damage. It won't. He explained that in excruciating detail. He is, without any question, the sole expert on this aquifer. There is no one who can credibly contradict him; he has spent his entire life studying it.

Of course there is a pool of water. Do you really think the water is like natural gas and has to be fracked? It isn't. Wells are drilled down to the aquifer and then the water is drawn up to the surface.

The real question..............why do you all care so much about the Canadian oil industry?
