Oil spill in Canada on Tuesday spills 200,000 gallons
Posted: Jan 25, 2017
This is one thing we have to look forward to. After it is all said and done, there will be 50 jobs out of the pipeline Trump wants to go forward with. The taxpayers who live where the oil spills happen will pay to have it cleaned up, not to mention how harmful it is to the animals and environment. Why would we want to go back to making fossil fuels are prime source of energy anyway? So we can make money! Lots of money!

Note: 200,000 liters not gallons (52,000 gallons) - some perspective
[ In Reply To ..]One rail car holds somewhere around 30,000 gallons of oil - one tanker truck holds about 9000 gallons. The DAPL pipeline will carry 500,000 gallons a day - my math says that is 55 semiloads of oil going over the road every day - and this is just one pipeline - is there a pipeline near you? Check the map....

Very sad - indeed
[ In Reply To ..]The only discrepancy I have with your post is it won't be "we" making money, it will be big wigs and stockholders of TransCanada Corporation that will benefit. It was also noted that Trump had shares in that corporation. He claims he sold them but has not shown anything to document the sale. It is some time in the spring that the documents have to be shown.
Unfortunately, the rest of us along with the animals and environment that will be the ones that suffer.
thanks for the correction, sorry - lisa
[ In Reply To ..]I had read previously Trump had an interest in this, thank you for the information. I totally agree with this.
Trump probably has - OABO
[ In Reply To ..]lots of money in fossil fuel stocks but we don't know do we?
No we don't- where are the - tax returns?
[ In Reply To ..]That would be something that would be in his tax returns for those who think it is just a 1040.
bill ?? - lisa
[ In Reply To ..]I also heard on the news this morning they are attempting to put together a bill that will mean all presidents (including him) have to release their tax returns.
Long overdue - though
[ In Reply To ..]was not a necessity until dictator Trump took office. They also should be included in the conflict of interest rule.
You would rather oil spills via train or truck? - Truthhurts
[ In Reply To ..]That makes sense, doesn't it?
Pearls before swine. - LOL
[ In Reply To ..]You make some excellent points.
Pearls before swine, I'm afraid. Logic and reason don't work on lefties, only emotions and irrationality.

Happy TuesdayJul 27, 2010
I drug myself out of bed this morning feeling tired and mad at the world. Nothing new! I'm not really a morning person. I took a shower, felt better. I opened up the sliding glass door in my bed room and WHOOSH! A gust of fresh air blew in! It was cool and smelled green and fresh from the rain last night. I opened up the other windows and doors throughout the house and the breeze and scent swirling around my house lifted my spirits. I had a fe ...
Why Do We Vote On Tuesday? Well,Nov 05, 2012
From Smithsonian.com: "The answer, it turns out, has a lot to do with buggies and farmers markets. The Founding Fathers met at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, NPR explains, but at the end of the meeting they still had not resolved a number of questions about how to run an entire nation. One of those issues involved the timing of federal elections. As a quick fix, they decided to leave it to individual states to set their own voting days, which led to several decades of &ldqu ...

BP Oil Spill Becoming PoliticalMay 26, 2010
I never saw James Carville so furious and I don't blame him. This is oil spill is absolutely unforgiveable. The marshlands are being destroyed and probably the whole fishing industry for a few years, if not more than decades. I was reading other reports yesterday and I always read the poster's comments. Some say stop depending on oil and depend on nuclear, solar, and wind. That's easier said than done. Solar and wind are expensive and not a guarantee for northern climates. N ...

Tuesday Night At The FightsOct 17, 2012
I have to say I do not like debates. It seems to me that the broad audience of the American public has developed this "blood lust" akin to a boxing or wresting match or some Superbowl event. How can someone say that this person won on style, and this one on memorization of facts and figures and then vote for them? How does that relate to them being president, or one heart beat away? The only real message I can take away from these debates is how does my picture of this candidat ...

BP buys Google, Yahoo oil spill search terms By Hibah Yousuf, staff reporterJune 7, 2010: 6:37 PM ET NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- As BP continues to try to stop the oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, the energy giant is also dealing with a public relations nightmare.
