IIRC, a majory criticism of the pipeline isn't so much "more oil is bad" but "this shit is unsafe, yo." Again, using memory since late night but the pipeline runs over domestic water supplies, and isn't really up to a great deal of safety standards. But it will be constructed anyway. Why? Because a government with the best interest of the public at heart is a lovely dream we all once had, and nothing else.
