Keystone Pipeline Rejected

I dont like this Julene Bair person. Comparing some nitrates from pesticides is equal to injecting lord knows how many gallons of oil directly in it, the oil would be a bazillion time worse and inevitable. I got the feeling she thought Nebraskans were being hypocrites. What a little bitch. Personally its kind of a duh to me. Pesticides are a necessary evil and she is off her rocker if she thinks we can grow our badass corn without the aquifer. I've been through Kansas and know what they consider a corn crop, its pathetic. Yes pesticides are really bad but they also benefit us greatly, the oil would too but not over the aquifer, it was totally an unecessary risk. Just move it over a few damn miles dang.

Oh and the big picture...Nebraska is made up of 90% republicans (wild guess but prolly pretty accurate) Republicans LOVE oil, so what would be the one thing that would get Nebraskan Republicans to go against oil? Oh I know, threaten to destroy the aquifer that sustains their entire way of life. Not in a million years would they have stopped that oil unless they were certain the aquifer was in danger.

I also resent that authors comparison of Nebraska and Kansas, not even close.

The ground water is merely 18 inches below the surface in many areas of the sandhills. Generally oil spills are large not small and even a small would could be disasterous if it made it to the aquifer. Much more than pesticides.

Wonder what the argument is against using oil tankers to transport the oil from
Canada to Texas until something can be done with the pipeline? I am sure there
is some lame excuse for not doing that either. I heard someone say that it would
be a whole different story if the pipeline ended in some South American armpit
country. I am sure Obama would be all for that. It has to make you wonder.
I also heard a guy on the Rusty Humphreys radio show last night talking about
CNG (compressed natural gas). It would be nothing (under $2000 per vehicle)
to convert all government vehicles to CNG. That would pump millions back into
the U.S. economy because it costs about half as much to use CNG as regular
gasoline. And, according to people on that show, the emmissions from CNG 
are so low they cannot even be measured. But, instead, Obama loans millions 
of dollars to vaporware places like Celindra. You know, I am one of those
"rich" Republicans (not), but seriously I can pay $3 plus a gallon because about
all I use is what I use to go to work, which is not that much. But some of those
poor folks that Obama pretends to represent cannot. Not to mention hundreds
(thousands?) of them could use a job. Going through Nebraska (57% voted for
McCain in 2008) may not be the answer, but Obama would do well to come up
with a quick alternative. Crap like this is going to get him thrown out on his
ear because the Republicans could run a monkey and that monkey would make
better (and faster) decisions than Obama. And, no offense, but I do not believe
people who love oil are strictly Republican. I am sure most of them would 
convert to CNG if the EPA and the feds would make it a little more appealing,
like make sure that there would be CNG available at more service stations.
But that is not likely. Obama's handlers in the Middle East do not want us to
be energy independent. I would also like to see a believable report on who
the big oil companies contribute to. My bet would be Republicans. Both sides
play politics and we, the people, suffer for it. Well, you, the "poor" people
probably suffer more, which is all the more baffling why you keep voting
for dipwads like Obama who cares more for his political future than he does
for the future of America. Sure, do it right, but to it a hell of a lot faster. 
Pretend you are coming up with a bomb that will end the war. 

Obama didn't reject boats. At all. Considering we take boats from the Middle East it's safe to assume that boats were for whatever reason not on the table.

Even according to your decidedly non source it would take 2k per vehicle to convert to natural gas. Are you volunteering for the tax hike for that? (I personally doubt that includes jets, aircraft carriers or anything military or refueling anything military but still we'll let your number slide unless you can defend that point. And yes, I am prepping the goal posts to be moved on the off chance you have a point to make.)

In 2013 you better help me fix America. Cus by then I'll be quite tired of your crap.
