The Pipeline operators should shut the whole system down for a day or two. ¿How fast can you replace the lost energy with windmills and solar panels? Some Lefties talk about those alternatives as if getting them online quickly is no problem.
If you don't follow the alternative media you are uninformed.
If you follow the mainstream media you are misinformed.

The oil being pumped through comes from tar sands and is much more toxic than normal oil and more prone to leakage. When it does leak it is even harder to clean up and would be a real threat to our nations health, economic and our physical health. This is because the pipeline would run through one of the great water supplies in our country. Why on earth conservatives are so eager to put our water supply in jeopardy just so Canadian oil companies can send their oil down to the Gulf of Mexico and ship it overseas is the real mystery.

Nice memes, but they raise the question, do you even know what you are arguing for or even why you are arguing for it? What is your reason for being so committed to constructing a pipeline across the United States for a foreign nation to transport their oil overseas, while providing no benefit to our country, and in fact potentially ruining the water supply for much of the central United States? You don't have to answer back, just ask yourself those questions.

Thousands of temporary jobs to poison our nations breadbasket. 35 full time jobs to maintain it, which include Canadian jobs. Is that worth it? We could create thousands of jobs if we legalized heroin too, should we do that? Pipeline spills happen regularly. They aren't hypothetical, they are inevitable.

The State Department forecasted that no more than 50 jobs, some of which could be located in Canada, would be required to maintain the pipeline. Thirty-five of them would be permanent, while 15 would be temporary contractors. -

Those probably aren't your strongest possible arguments.
Keystone was creating thousands of American jobs, and many of the oil sands companies in Alberta are owned by US interests.
Arguably a more pressing environmental issue is it produces more carbon emissions to get it out of the ground than for conventional oil. -

I dont care about carbon emissions. That is a non-issue. And yes these are still good arguments. Make no mistake the oil WILL continue to flow. Machines, pipelines, everything breaks down. Drop for drop pipelines are still the safest cleanest way to transport oil.

I agree that pipes are way safer than trains for transporting oil. Anybody can google 'Lac-Megantic rail disaster' if they have doubts about that.
You may not care about carbon emissions, but most of the world and most importantly most climate scientists do. Anyway, neither of us will convince the other on this point.
