Nah, just pay a bunch of money and keep fucking the place up, its all good.

sounds like an excuse to raise gas prices

At least water tables haven't been hit should be a fairly straightforward and simple cleanup if unforeseen consequences don't occur.

Brilliant. Give the hippies more ammo to crash the world's economy with by demanding alternatives right this second without giving anyone five seconds to figure out just what said alternative might be!

Justify those damned pipelines now motherfuckers.

[QUOTE=DaysBefore;36405992]Justify those damned pipelines now motherfuckers.[/QUOTE] *I'm just looking for a counter argument because they are beneficial* Well a new pipeline would logically be safer, more secure, stronger, and obviously new. This would let older pipelines to be decommissioned lowering the rates of failure as a whole, and of course there would be economic benefits.

Would certainly reduce some of the demand for oil.

This really isn't making me want to stay in Alberta.

Good news is, the more shit like this happens, the more investment that 'alternative energy' sees. Give it another fifty or so years, and I predict we'll have electric cars charged up off Fusion power stations. Problem solved.

I was wondering why the price of gas went up today...

[QUOTE=MIPS;36407644]I was wondering why the price of gas went up today...[/QUOTE] Because it's a feasible excuse? If someone farted near an oil drum the gas prices would go up.
