How's that oil working out for u, North Dakota?

That's nothing- Most of the ground water supply in the Western part of North Dakota is now totally destroyed.

Bullshit. That's all a part of your global warming hoax.

Have you seen the temperatures there over the last 3 weeks. They needed to do something to warm up.

On a CS related note, Bison Babe and Swaghook live in Cassleton and had to evacuate.

Something similar happened when I was about six months old.

Holy shit!!!
I would have loved to see the looks on the faces of the guys that decoupled the train and watched it roll away. That must have been the ultimate "oops".

2.7% unemployment, so I'd say pretty well. Thank goodness you ride a bike everywhere and have a clean conscience regarding the use of fossil fuels.

I drive an F-150 and set my thermostat at home to 75 degrees bring on the ice age... (or whatever)

Is the girl in your sig aware of this?

I can also appreciate the irony of a group of people researching global warming stuck in the Antarctic ice.

You coastal fucks will be the first to go when the sea level rises. You'll also die the slowest when Yellowstone blows.

Talk about a win-win.

I'll watch my property values rise also as the coast comes closer.

Friends son went there to work but wanted to move his G.F. there. Gave up a great paying job because it was way to scary for her to live there. That story is repeated a thousand times by a thousand different people if one cares to listen.

IT IS dangerous over there. I wouldn't go anywhere alone.

I killed a man over there.

Commission a scientific poll to see if the people in North Dakota think, on balance, that's it better to have the oil boom.

My bet would be the overwhelming majority would answer, "yes."

We'd have less oil being transported by rail if there weren't so many people blocking the construction of oil pipelines. Kinda like how if we had been able to build more nuclear power plants back in the day we'd have far less quantities of green house gases in the air because we wouldn't have had to go so heavy with coal. Unintended consequences when people don't think through their political/environmental positions.

My cousin's husband owns a pipeline services company and he has more business in the Bakken than he knows what to do with. The Keystone XL is the only one I'm aware of that's being blocked.

Oh, I agree, we certainly transfer plenty of oil via pipeline, and yes, the Keystone one is the one that everyone knows about, but there's plenty of hurdles to get over for other pipelines that aren't even built yet that people will naturally go with the easier option, i.e. filling up a rail car and going that route, rather than trying to even navigate starting a new pipeline.

It would probably be a lot easier to get new pipelines built if the existing ones were maintained properly.

Pipeline companies, with their extremely poor record of safety/high rate of spills are the main reason people don't want more built.

And people don't like that when pipelines are built, especially in wooded areas, that trees need to be cleared so many feet on either side of the pipeline so that workers can have access to the pipes for maintenance, and also that the existence of a pipeline means that there will be maintenance workers often in the area to check on the lines, and that all of these things drive down or limit the value of homes nearby. Very few people know anything about the real safety record of pipelines, they just don't want them near their homes because they aren't pretty.

I was a senior in high school (Helena Capital) when this happened. Supposedly a train axel landed in someone's living room right in front of their t.v. Crashed right through the roof. Actually we were pretty lucky that this didn't happen during the morning commute.
