@tursiops Well thats the problem isnt it... people will pay the extra 10 cents to get their gas when a pipeline is cut and it doesn't matter that it costs 10 cents extra or that it equates to an extra few million tons of CO2 in the air than it would have if a pipeline was used.

Which is the very reason stopping pipelines is one of the most idiotic things any president who cares about the environment could possibly do. It tells you they care more about their image (because public will see it as a good thing even when it isnt, just like you did) then they care about the environment.
