I am not from The States so I don't know much about the case at matter but I do know that pipeline transportation is the cheapest way to transport non-solids with a good degree of safety as long as protocols are followed.Instead of wasting time on arguing about the needed evil of pipelines rather do somethtting to decrease the amount of oil you use yourself. The sooner we get rid of our need for oil the sooner we will put stuff like oil pipelines, tankers and so on into the history books of tomorrow.

Sadly, it isn't practical everywhere to discard oil. In heavily rural areas like most of Alberta, you need personal transportation to get anywhere, especially across the vast distances between towns. Public transit really isn't a huge thing out here. That's not even going into what I need for work.

Like Goldy said, if it's practical where you are, it's definitely worth looking into.
