Hey, heard this mornings news? Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper went to China for a meeting about energy sales. Now, Keystone has begun the permit process to run the pipeline west to a terminal for shipment to Asia.
Nice going Obama, you have the business acumen of a 3rd grader or a community organizer.
Like it or not, the tar sands are going to be mined and processed, it's just a matter of where it goes, here or China.
lies lies lies.....half the oil made in canada is already sold to the united states. you guys have sky high rocketing prices with us having a hold on your economy ..no hahaha. Less than one percent of the boreal forrest have been destroyed due to tar sands and 20% of that is open pit mining. After ever site is depleted its even remediated. i'm surprised this propaganda even talks about pollution seeing is how america has the highest pollution/consumption in the world.
NEVER mind monitoring the oil lets get it out and sell it - Sell it Help Canada get RICH for a change we have a chance to be ahead of the world - - LETS DO IT- - - - Get a crew to start making 3 refinerys in Canada West Mid central and EAST theres lots of welders jus waiting for work pipers etc - - Come On Canada wake up - - - -
@triplethex Drop off the grid and never use the power provided by hydrocarbons. Then and only then can your hippie ass not be hypocritical.
As for my mental condition. I have been a major player in pipeline safety from the time I was 20. I spend a lot of time in Canada and can tell you the sands have some effect on the landscape but, mother earth will reclaim this area in time. You sit on your ass types, you occupiers of space really need to get off the couch a see the World.
@OGShocker "You sit on your ass types", What? First of all, learn proper English. If you believe in the shit you are saying without any proper study, you are ignorant as fuck.

@OGShocker: More or less have to agree with you. I have worked on the related projects since back in 1977 as a Pressure Welder.
When the whiners and complainers volunteer to give up "all their" worldly possessions and stop buying and consumming ALL the hundreds of consumer products provided by the Oil and Natural Gas and related Petrochemical industries then they have a legitimate say in what should or should not be.
Until then, just ignore them and their whiny, ungracious opinions.
@happyharv1 You are generalizing. I' m just against Keystone XL. Why? If a leak occurred in the pipeline, this pipeline could devastate ecosystems and pollute water sources, many animals and natural habitats could be damaged and many detrimental effects from toxic chemicals would lead to an environmental catastrophe. Not only will the local communities be bearing all the health risks and the environmental risk but we would also jeopardize public health to carcinogenic chemicals.
Oh fuck right off...COME TO ALBERTA before saying what it looks like. LOL alberta makes america looks like a fucking swamp. U can even take a free tour of fort mcmurray(tarsands) and see yours so called "environmental disaster) Maybe learn a little about the new tailings technology, or our reclaimation process compared to ANY OTHER COUNTRY in the world.(the best) so before commenting on the validity of this video maybe first GET THE FACTS!!
No matter how much land we develop, even with all the pollution we make, and the land we change to our needs, Life will always flourish in one way or another.
Humans have been on Earth for so little time, and i doubt we will continue much longer (relatively speaking of course). Earth (and it's life) will likely far out live the Human race in the end, but for now, we need to use our ability to manipulate nature, for it is our survival instinct. Today is for us, we need to thrive, not hold back.
Couple of key errors in this biased report-1) Bitumen can be tar, asphalt or oilsands. In the case of the Alberta Oilsands, it is oil (NOT TAR). 2) Nature put the oilsands there (NOT MAN) and there is no pristine boreal forest growing (because of the oil). Once the oilsands are mined and developed, the sand and earth will be reclaimed and new trees planted. The reclaimed forest will be better than before the mining (it will be a true boreal forest). This report is NOT ACCURATE - just more lies.
Wow. the rivers and land of waist.The process of start to finish. The cost not only in money. Water and air. What can one think of as alternative.? I know it's easy to say all sorts of mixed opinions.
Many claims - Zero references to back up their opinions. I am tired of the propaganda coming from both sides. Where does one go these days to find truth?
Casper WYoming has some of the cheapest energy prices in the country. why? because they refine it there. and you buy it near where it was refined. It costs about .32 per mile to transport a load of diesel. pipelines are expensive. states should tax pipelines as taxable property and use the funds to inspect and regulate them.
refine the oil up north and truck it. it's 814 miles from winnipeg Ca to kansas city Mo and almost the same a from houston to KC. Your going to pay for trucking the end product anyway why for fucks sake would you pipe it 2,000 miles to truck it back? to maintain monopoly on who refines it and who sells it. The conglomerates don't want new refineries competing. they want to charge more for what they already make.
no....no....NO! NO, WE DO NOT WANT THIS TAR SANS OIL BY TRANSCANADA "KEYSTONE" PIPELINE RAN OVER & IN OUR AQUIFER SELLING OIL TO CHINA.....CLEANING UP POISON WATER & SOIL IS NOT MY IDEA OF JOB CREATION!....THIS TAR SANDS OIL IS SOLD TO CHINA...NOT THE USA....WAKE UP!
I'm trying to research the Keystone XL for a school project and it's very difficult to get the real "facts". All the videos and webpages entitled "KEYSTONE XL FACTS" are shamefully biased like this one. Is the pipe line good for the environment, overall? Probably not. But isn't it convenient that you compare it's oil output to the Exxon Valdez that crashed? All of this environmental propaganda would be much more convincing if I just found a single source that just cited the plain facts for once.
@Desmeister644 GO TO MY YOU TUBE VIDEOS FOR ALL THE FACTS YOU NEED. I AM THE WHISTLE BLOWER FOR THE MICHIGAN TAR SAND OIL SPILL. I HAVE DOCUMENTED THE COVER UP AND THE LIES FROM THE COMPANIES WHEN THERE IS A SPILL.
97% of the oil Canada exports goes to the USA already and existing pipelines are nowhere near capacity. The goal of this pipeline is to move Canadian oil to the world market. This was stated by Canada's Natural Resources Canada's Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver. It will create jobs in Canada, but at a huge environmental cost. It will actually cause jobs to be lost in the USA as oil that currently goes to the Midwest will be diverted overseas.
Tax all oil that goes threw Nebraska, lets just say $1000.00 per/barrel. and lets see 15% must return to nebraska, none of it could be exported. Then see if they still want to build the pipeline.
Kay, Oil is bad for the environment regardless of its origin , lets reduce our consumption. but also make it cheaper??? you want to promote alternative renewable fuel then increase the price of oil! some how they don't want oil but the also want it at an affordable price? which is it?
FACT:the oil from the tar sands costs only $7 per barrel to produce---------the sand is cleaned of oil,that is not dirty,that is cleanup--------FACT:carbon does not create warming
With grossly inflated unsubstantiated job numbers, environmental assessments done by paid advisers: (search 678247 on Alternet)
covering 800 000 gallon oil spills with basically AstroTurf and sand and calling it cleaned up: watch?v=Zlnri_scklA
We must no allow this massive expansion to destroy us. The Lupicon Cree's plight is the canary in the coal mine with 19 0f 21 births stillborn 3-7x cancer rates.
4000 lbs of our beautiful Boreal Forest bed must be destroyed for one $60 barrel of oil.
I don't want this pipeline here for one simple reason. It is there to only give more power to the global elites. They control all prices with majority shares and inner office CEO threats regardless who's oil it is. Gasoline should be $1 per gallon even without this. They just see us as slaves helping with our own enslavement.
Fuck oil, we have the tech to get away from it.....but we all know that it's all about money, screw the planet for numbers in a computer that a bank made out of thin air. We're all screwed, are kids, and their kids......oh don't forget about how screwed are planet already is, keep burning that oil!!!! YEAH!! OIL=MONEY!!! Thats what matters. When our planet is dead we'll just get a new one. Humans are dumb.
The US NEEDs to import oil; if not Canada then the US will be importing from oil from the middle east.
Canada has a stable Government and economy - the middle east does NOT!
Canada is VERY environmental concious and strictly monitors industry emissions - the middle east does NOT!
Canada has the LARGEST oil reserves on the planet - if the US is not interested in our oil they can buy middle eastern oil; were our oil might leak CO2 into the air; thiers leaks blood in the streets!

"blog called Madville Times"......this is most definitely not a credible gateway to finding documents of compliance. If you could message me personally the location where I can obtain accredited documentation or cogent publications that explicitly present a structural integrity investigation, then I would be convinced.
I also do not have to "reveal" any personal information regarding myself as it could be used against me or others out of context.
I'd also like to mention Keystone is a subsidiary of TransCanada. The XL pipeline is simply a utility to ship an energy commodity.
If there are environmental concerns, those concerns should be towards the company actually extracting and owning the crude. Keystone is a company that builds pipelines. I feel as though your video is a little misleading.....
@simplistic2099 .Keystone is part of TransCanada and has proposed the pipeline, not the shippers. Also, TransCanada talks about the Keystone system pipelines on its financial earnings calls, talking about their contribution to TransCanada's future profits. Surely you're not suggesting that environmental damage from leaks from TransCanada pipelines would be the responsibility of shippers? That doesn't make sense.
@simplistic2099 The data about the leaks came from the state of South Dakota's environmental database. YouTube won't allow the links to be posted, but you can read about all three leaks if you find the blog called Madville Times and search the extensive Keystone pipeline posts there. Also, you should come clean and say who you really are. You claim to have a personal connection.
@simplistic2099 THERE WAS 12 LEAKS ON THE KEY STONE TAR SAND PIPELINE IN THE FIRST 12 MONTHS. THAT IS A FACT. I WAS A FOREMAN FOR THAT PIPELINE. I WILL NEVER WORK FOR ANOTHER TAR SAND PIPELINE BECAUSE IT IS CURRENTLY KILLING PEOPLE IN MY COMMUNITY. TAR SAND OIL IS TEN TIMES MORE TOXIC THAN NORMAL CRUDE OIL AND IT EATS AWAY AT THE INSIDE OF THE PIPE LIKE SAND PAPER. GO TO MY CHANNEL TO SEE SOME PROOF.
Out of the countries the United States does import oil from, Canada is the only emissions regulated country on the list. Go make a movie about Venezuelan oil plains justice.
Canada has all kinds of environmental rules. That doesn't mean they are followed. The people living downstream from where the tar sands oil is produced who suffer high cancer rates and the 1600 waterfowl that died simply from landing on a tar sands waste pond are evidence of that.
welcome pipeline workers!!! thats all i seen when i ws working the keystone project last year, in SD, and, NE, and now all the pipe has been laid in that area. you gotta love that money!!
@rumblebee1462 Too bad that South Dakota workers only got 11% of the Keystone pipeline line construction jobs in their own state, according to TransCanada's own figures. That means that the pipeline was constructed by people who got paychecks and moved on, without having to live with the consequences of what they constructed. As of today, there are already three known leaks on that pipeline.
well all the work was union and the contractor "Price Gregory" has their own union workers and so do all the sud contractors. like local 798, local 601, local 112 and so fourth, now if was a non union job their would be a lot of local people hired, but on a big union job like the keystone project, trans Canada wanted the best experienced pipeliners doing the project to do the job right, union workers take great pride and craftsmanship on these pipelines! they are simply the best
@plainsjustice You know they would give locals a job in a second if they were there to take them. It is more expensive to house and feed your wokers from out of state, than to hire locally of course! Not sure what I think of this whole thing yet, But yeah it seems like a big business political ploy that will not do us any good in the long run. I really hate our political system, and what it's become. It is a shame I just now heard about it, and it is directly affecting my family.
@plainsjustice look stupid ppl that work pipeline work come form all over america i know welder's form south dakota that are working in texas right now because it's too fucking cold to work out side up there right know...
so what if it leaks it's not going in to the grand water because the farmer's spray chemicals and then it rains and them chemicals dont get in to the grand water

well all the work was union and the contractor "Price Gregory" has their own union workers and so do all the sud contractors. like local 798, local 601, local 112 and so fourth, now if was a non union job their would be a lot of local people hired, but on a big union job like the keystone project, trans Canada wanted the best experienced pipeliners doing the project to do the job right, union workers take great pride and craftsmanship on these pipelines! they are simply the best

@plainsjustice You know they would give locals a job in a second if they were there to take them. It is more expensive to house and feed your wokers from out of state, than to hire locally of course! Not sure what I think of this whole thing yet, But yeah it seems like a big business political ploy that will not do us any good in the long run. I really hate our political system, and what it's become. It is a shame I just now heard about it, and it is directly affecting my family.
