Lush Future #5 - “Hellman’s, Pipe Dreams, Hackers” Hellmann’s tweaks site in ‘mayonnaise’ spat https://news.yahoo.com/hellmanns-tweaks-mayonnaise-spat-172937880–finance.html Senate Vote Puts Keystone Pipeline On Ice http://www.businessinsider.in/Senate-Vote-Puts-Keystone-Pipeline-On-Ice/articleshow/45198752.cms A bill to approve the Keystone XL pipeline was defeated in the Senate on Tuesday. The Senate voted 59-41 putting the bill one vote shy of the 60 it needed to reach the White House. President Barack Obama did not support the bill to approve the pipeline, which would have carried petroleum from Canada’s oil sands to the Gulf Coast. via Business Insider India https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/2mnxtl/keystone_pipeline_good_for_canada_not_us_obama/ “Trans Canadas Words Not a single drop of crude oil will be exported - it is shipped to refineries in the south Not a single drop of refined products shipped through the pipeline will be exported - The pipeline only ships crude oil Meaning - the crude comes from Canada, is refined, then likely exported. Thousands of construction jobs are created - For Two Years, then all those construction jobs dry up and then what? Where is the Long Term Benefit to the United States?” -Redditor Nettoyan7 “I’m on board with what you’re saying but you have to acknowledge one benefit of the pipeline and that’s the (presumed) reduction of train-derailment meets crude spills. Again, I’m with you but we have to be fair to the highlight(s) of the idea we don’t like.” -Redditor Synux Common worry is either spills via train derailment, or spills via pipeline leak, but don’t worry about the leak: http://keystone-xl.com/facts/myths-facts/ We conduct regular emergency exercises, and aerial surveys every two weeks. @
