That nasty ass strip mining they do ....let them build a pipeline to China.You don't do strip mining. You dig trenches, put in the pipeline, and then cover them up. The footprint is small. The Keystone pipeline would be 30" in diameter, and once they cover it up and restore the surface it's not noticeable. Pipeline is safer than rail and truck too, although it's debatable which poses the least risk to the environment.
Doesn't matter....we have plenty of oil. Dumbass Canadians can fuck up their environment if they want. I want no part of strip mining. Originally Posted by WTF

Getting the OK to build pipelines is probably a bigger issue for natural gas than oil. You have utilities in the northeast burning coal and fuel oil because there's not enough gas pipeline capacity in that part of the world. And coal and, to a lesser extent, fuel oil, emit more carbon per BTU than natural gas. Originally Posted by Tiny

Read the document - it is a fourth grade level piece of writing - a fantasy in which government controls all people in America - jobs, houses, transportation, education, and every facet of lifeIt's a total fantasy. I haven't looked at the math but suspect you could raise all taxes (local, federal, state) so that every man, woman and child was directly and indirectly paying 60% of income and the country would still go bankrupt. You skipped the part about universal, high-quality health care, which undoubtedly would cost 20%+ of GDP.

Originally Posted by WTFThis is related to our recent discussion about interest rates. Whether we're bankrupt or not will depend on the level of interest rates. Our ratio of government debt to GDP is around 105%. Japan's is 236% but there hasn't been a meltdown because people believe Japanese interest rates will continue to be low. Hell, if you can charge negative rates like the Japanese government, you make money when you grow the debt. I wouldn't want to be in their position though. And I don't feel comfortable with our national debt either.
