[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who signs this petition, and then drives around in a car, is a hypocrite.  There are no magic gasoline fairies; either accept that there will be projects like this, or stop accepting the benefits that flow from such projects.  [/quote]

I am OK with the pipeline, but your logic is seriously flawed.  Driving a car does not mean you have to support anything and everything that has to do with oil and gas.  You can oppose a pipeline, or a style of tanker, or exploration in a certain area, or a method of extraction.  That does not mean you oppose oil itself.[/quote]

The tar sands will be developed whether or not Keystone is built; the other options for producing the tar sands involve far greater environmental risk (tankers) and are a less efficient use of the resource (shipping it to China vs. transport by pipeline to the U.S. for refining).  Opposing Keystone may make you feel better, but it contributes to a much worse state of the world if Keystone is stopped.  [/quote]
