They haven't totally flipped out since they ended the article by

advocating for a carbon tax. I do agree with their premise however

that environmentalists are fighting the wrong battles. All too often

they go after soft targets that have no political backing as opposed

to going after the serious offenders.



I agree, they assume that if the XL pipeline is not built, Canada will

abandon their oil industry.

They would just build another pipeline to the coast somewhere else.

The US could use the work and the royalties on the oil that they ship.

I assume a lot of that oil would be refined here and we would make

money on that too. Who knows, more supply might even push the price

down a little.


The crazy thing is...we have to import expensive oil on the east coast for our two refineries instead of using cheaper Alberta oil.
There is talk of building a pipeline from Alberta to at least Montreal and maybe New Brunswick if y'all don't want our cheap stuff.
