In November of 2015, President Obama rejected the Keystone XL Pipeline. And shortly after that, Obama put an end to the Dakota Access Pipeline that was being built through sacred Native American burial grounds the government had initially promised to not touch.

In early 2017, President Donald Trump signed presidential memoranda to revive both Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines.

In the past week, Keystone has spilled 210000 gallons of crude oil.

This is most unfortunate. Such a waste of oil. I have no problem with pipelines when they're properly monitored and maintained, but can't trust anyone, eh?

Ah, scrolled further down and found it. Still irritates me it wasn't included in the "in the news" and that there were 13 stories ahead of it.

Your story reminds me of this:

https://i.imgur.com/RadSf.jpg




You're missing quite a bit of things in between that makes this Trump's fault. I mean. a WHOOOOLE bunch of shit.


Unless Trump was out there, connecting up the large pipey tubes and left off a f*ck ton of bolts, on purpose, so the connection point would rupture and spill the oil.



I bet you some Democratic libtard was refreshing his browser for MONTHS just waiting for anything negative, at all, to be associated with this pipeline. And as soon as it happened, he looked like this:

https://i.imgur.com/cncTEMM.jpg

And got right to calling all the shitheads from all over about this. "MY GAAAAWWWDD! SOMETHING NEGATIVE HAPPENED! TOOOOOOO THE PRESSSES!"

Replace the video in this youtube video with this Democratic pipeline negative news watchdog discovering the negative news about the pipeline, this was probably his actual reaction:


Wpbzxs2391c




This is, again, rather innocuous. Almost a non-story. No oil company wants to spill oil. Even rich evil Trump cronies! None of them would EVER want to do that. It's absolutely asinine to think that. Or even think that it was "a terrible idea where obviously problems like this were bound to happen". No. No oil company or contractors EVER want this to happen .Ever. So many money lost.

To be serious, this is the Keystone pipeline, not the Keystone XL pipeline. The Keystone XL Pipeline is not even operational. Trump approved the Keystone XL Pipeline, not the already built in 2010 Keystone Pipeline.


Here, check this Map Out:

https://i.imgur.com/vv5WuSy.jpg




Do you understand, now? You're getting upset and blaming Trump for something so silly and stupid. It's not even the one that Trump approved.

You should be upset with Obama because the first 3 phases, which were approved by Obama, were built under Obama's administration and approval:

"After more than six years of review, President Barack Obama announced on November 6, 2015, his administration's rejection of the fourth phase."

What Obama rejected was the 4th phase. What Trump approved was the 4th phase. Phases 1-3, which includes the Burst Keystone Pipeline from Phase 1 which Obama approved and presided over, were not built or approved by Trump.

Look, Obama even struggled to try and get its approval:

Also, reading back what I posted to you, that's hilarious!!! I laughed. haermm I need to remember that...I used to tell Robtard that I wish I could condense his coolness into a suppository and stick it in my butt to enjoy his coolness melting in my butt.

You didn't laugh that the youtube vid? That's shit's hilarious. I was hoping you'd get a laugh. I honestly did not think you'd be so angry in your response. Shows me how well I can read you.

Fair enough. No judgement.

When they try to one up you? Do you assume someone who makes a point refuting yours is just trying to one-up you? Just curious.

Basically what I was thinking. Seems ridic to hold that weird strawman opinion when there are barely any other options available yet for most people. Maybe if you were rich you'd be able to afford a really good electric car and get a few decent solar panels, etc. But most people have to live the way they live, so acting like living that life and being against fossil fuels is something 'hypocritical' is just dumb, imo.

No hate Imped. I think you're a good guy but that opinion was pretty short-sighted.

But I WOULD like to see people who are all about stopping global warming, weaning off of fossil fuels, etc. make the first steps to do so.

They should buy solar panels, filter their own water, ride a bike, etc. If they did that, I'd say, "you know what? You have a point. You're 100% right, you're practicing what you preach. You're a good person."

Because I like those kinds of people even though they may seem a bit coocoo.

My carbon footprint is 52 tons a year. :O

^Yeah I have issues with the power I use as well. The military housing does try to regulate us though. Limited AC capabilities. mandatory recycling, etc.

But again, it's difficult for less wealthy people (other than the bike thing, but even then, their place of work might be so far away they sometimes need a car). I can't afford a fancy electric car, or a water filtration system, or solar panels. I still think people should work towards less of a reliance on fossil fuels, because that is common sense if we still want there to be a world for our children to inherit.

I'd like to point out that gloating over correcting someone is not something I do. It's a bit double-dee douchey. One and done and we move on. Politically, we largely agree so I see no harm from continuing this conversation which is really about pieces of shit evil Cronies continuing to ****up the environment...and impede our progress to a sustainable energy future (this could be a stock pun but I am not clever enough to make it).

That's a thing? I'm making noises that are fun to say. So if mumble rap actually exists, I can confirm that it is just noises that are fun to say.

Youtube it. It's a thing. lol Not exactly what you were doing, but the creativity is maybe only marginally higher than the few moments it took you to do the Scribbs scatman.

I have an encyclopedia published from 2005 stating that we would run out of oil by 2012. I open it every now and then to lol at its stupidity.

Also lol at gas stations being replaced by supercharger stations anytime in the next 20 years. Until the convenience of spending 5-10 minutes max refilling with gas is matched by chargers it ain't goin to happen.

Until that's addressed, electric cars are never going to take over fossil-fuel driven ones. A good chunk of people in this country don't have a garage to plug their car into over-night. What about those who park on the street or in apartment complex lots? All of the infrastructure to support that many people charging all at once would need to be completely revamped. Think of black-outs as everyone comes home from work to plug-in their cars. Hell, we some cities can't even handle mass air-conditioner use.

We should be looking into hydrogen powered cars.

Also I'm totally pro-electric cars as long as they're not hostile towards my gasoline driven ones. Like no government mandates to phase out gasoline cars.

I remember this number. I think it is supposed to be the turning point that we would start using more than new extractions would produce. Meaning, it doesn't mean we would run out, it would mean new "sites" would be discovered less and less that we would hit a turning point of exhaustion and I believe that date was projected to be 2012. What I mean is, "new sites show 100 barrels of oil and we are using 101 barrels of oil." Make sense? Post the exact wording from the encyclopedia. Take a picture. I am sure that's what it means.

I heard that the new Keystone pipeline would actually oil prices in the mid-west. The oil coming from Canada is for foreign markets apparently.

Can anyone back this up?

I use quickquote, capture the post ID, then use the standard quote feature on a non-broken post, replace the name and post ID with the proper id, then chop up a post piece by piece so it results in what I want to respond to.

It's kind of smart actually, the Saudis amassed a huge fortune through Oil and then used that money to diversify their investment portfolio so they're not reliant on selling oil to countries like the USA

Trump signed off on the building of a pipeline he was repeatedly warned was risky to build.

So yes, he deserves some blame for making a gamble and the gamble ending up badly.

Let's all take 10 seconds to acknowledge the people here who hate oil and fossil fuels, but are using plastic keyboards or smart phones to post their disdain.

It's not Trump's pipeline. Never was.

Also, it's not the Keystone XL; it's a sister pipeline called the Keystone.

Obama blocked the pipeline, so, no, this still is fully on Trump.

Obama Approved Phases 1, 2, and 3. He rejected Phased 4. Phase 4 is the Keystone XL pipeline that Trump revived and approved.

I also posted an article earlier where Obama was trying to get the XL pushed through but he was facing opposition. He made a shift in 2015 after getting increasing opposition. So he went from trying to get it done to changing his mind after dealing with all the opposition.

The pipeline that burst was the Phase 1 pipeline that Obama approved and it was built and finished in 2010. It is directly relevant. Another thread needs to be created that criticizes Obama for approving the Keystone Pipeline (phase 1) if people think Obama made a bad decision to approve it based on the oil spill.


If and when the Keystone XL pipeline bursts, we can make another thread then and discuss it being Trump's fault. This thread should be about Obama, not Trump.

fair enough.

this one's on Obama.

It does however call into question why we're still building more pipelines.

Well until Nuclear Fusion is commercially viable (if it ever is) it is to be expected.

hey I can admit it's my mistake and the blame can be put on Obama.

Yeah, it seems that Trump derangement syndrome still hasn't faded yet.

But I still wouldn't blame Obama for the Oil spillage, as he's not directly responsible. Just like I don't take Solace in blaming the Donald for every bad thing that happens in this country.
