Like how fucking stupid are you?
My first favorite is the environmentalist wackjobs thinking the cancelling of the rest of the Keystone was a win. Um.. 75% of the pipeline is already done.. so instead of transporting the oil in a pipe that has negligible environmental impact, they will now load it onto trucks and trains and continue to ship it.. because that's far more environmentally sound.........
And, to be fair, it probably saved a bunch of jobs longterm. Sure there are immediate construction jobs that are lost, but for the trucking and train sectors, this is a huge win for them.
I've heard it goes over a major aquafer and if it had a leak it could contaminate drinking water for millions of people. So the environmental impact is negligible when it's working as intended, but that rarely stays that way.
It didn't seem like a great deal to begin with. Why they ship it to the Gulf of Mexico to go to China idk.
No, I am not Drauz in game.
