I like the call, but I'm a tree hugging mountain climber who just seems to dislike the thought of an oil pipeline bursting and destroying wildlife and land. I'm such a rebel.

This is also a good point.

This isn't about increasing domestic oil supplies, don't need the pipe to do that.

Yes it is, and yes you do. The pipeline would deliver oil to one of the few places in the U.S. that has the refining capacity to make gasoline out of it.

We need to make the supply of gasoline more limited, not more ample.

The US is an oil exporter now.

Obama said no to big oil, so now calls go out to... "RELEASE THE KRACKEN!" or at least a few more Republican big oil controlled Presidential Candidate hand puppets.

The US is poised to become THE supplier of natural gas to the entire world, and as noted above...is already exporting more oil products than the amount of oil it imports.

This isn't about capacity or feeding the American peoples voracious demand for mideast oil (there isn't one)...it's about putting a pipe full of crude oil smack in the middle of the source of an even more precious fluid than oil. Water.
