Poor Karl Rove is offended...

How many jobs would be created by investing in other forms of energy? The process of getting Tar sand oil is different and will increase greenhouse gas emissions at an alarming rate. So maybe no one cares about greenhouse gas, okay. Its hard to argue against the environment though when the pipeline would cross major rivers and one aquifer that over a few million people use. I mean unless you’re in complete denial that spills happen. I was actually very surprised to learn just how common they are. In 2010 there was a huge spill, over a million gallons spilled in Michigan, in the Kalamazoo river. I guess those things don’t matter when there are profits to be made. Well for the oil company anyway, they will still make a profit but those who live in the surrounding oil spill areas will lose money from loss of tourism and people leaving the area in droves. I sure hope we can eat our money. mmmmm money

*funny side note, I went to search that oil spill in Michigan and it turns out there is currently a suspected Diesel spill in the same river. What a hoot those oil companies are.

No comments on how we drill more oil here under Obama than we did under Bush?

We're effed. Isn't it great how cheap our gas is now? Oh wait...

I didn't know Kalamazoo even had a river. And I lived there briefly. :laugh:

Azdak, thanks so much for posting that. I was going to address that, but totally forgot.

I am taking a break from the debate group because I have a trip coming up that I really need to get ready for. Just so you all don't think I am gone forever. I know how some of you will really miss me. I said this on my page earlier today, but thought I would mention it here.
