Environmentalist: Keystone XL is bad, it should not happen!!!!Me: What, you'd prefer tankers on the Coast of BC?Enviro: No! Why would I want that?!Me: Then how the hell are they supposed to move their oil, by plane?Enviro: If everyone drove electric cars, they wouldn't need to move their oil!Me: So, you like your Kurieg Coffee thingy?Enviro: Oh my fucking god yes! I love it so much, the fair trade coffee is so good!Me: And those individual plastic cups for those things are totes made, you know, without oil. Right? And the machine itself has no plastic parts in it, right? It's definitely not going to break in 2-5 years, forcing you to buy another one, right? Are you really this fucking ignorant?Envrio: Shut up, you don't know what you're talking about!......Yeah, that pretty much summarizes my opinion on the matter.

Like most of the leftist agenda, it's really not about the pipeline. If Keystone goes away, their hate machine doesn't just acknowledge the win and move on.... they will always be fighting, because they cannot be satisfied, because status quo is never acceptable. That's.... practically the dictionary definition of an extremist. It doesn't matter how irrational the current goal is, the current goal is just one cog, and they think the bigger picture is worth the hypocrisy.
