Good point. "Why do SOME Americans want the XL Pipeline so badly?"

all the pipeline oil leaks between 2010 and 2014 here
pretty scary.

It will create hundreds if not thousands of short term jobs, at least dozens (if not hundreds) of long term jobs, and will have zero impact on the environment. If Canada wants to sell gas to China, so be it - they already have such pipelines, this one is just more direct, and someone in the US is going to get paid for it.

There are lots of issues. Doesn't it seem like its very risky? Maybe construction of the pipeline will have little impact on the environment, but if it leaks, it can have major impact. A lot of the pipeline will be on or near the Ogallala Aquifer which supplies clean water to millions of people in the US. If there's a like and it gets contaminated, then what?
