US banning protests

Otopian is right...they have a immense west coastal area too do this....your "fuck China" is an emotional premise..nothing more....
 
BS, if canada wanted to thrash its land for china it would not be considering the gulf where everything is already set up, for china.
 
I don't know much about the pipeline, my only hope is that they have spill and break plans that are tangible actually designed. I think we learned our lesson last time what happens when you have 0 plans (or grossly understated and outdated) that are tangible to deal with a massive spill or rupture.
 
I am a bit surprised they are trenching it.

But I am confused profoundly why a pump failure within a pump station would not be considered part and parcel of the oil pipeline.

pumps fail all of the time, usually when its the graveyard shift. the more pump stations you have, the greater the probability of a failure.

the sewer pump stations are always failing, leading to sewage spills. maybe the pump stations would be excellent at talking to the facility? and have enough capacity to handle all of the pipe volume that could be discharged after its been shutdown?

but the pipe breaking will be inevitable, so I think there is some spin involved there.
 
it is probably involved; a pipe of that size can be put in the ground for about 100 dollars a foot-- provided the pipe material isn't weird, not too deep.

i worked it out to almost 800 dollars a foot.

subtracting out 1 pump station per mile at 3.5 million dollars per station gives you about 135 dollars/ ft.


that's reasonable.
 
cool, we could also convert a few states into chinese dumping grounRAB to help hire more garbage men.

fuck man, if china payed you to shoot your own foot you would probably do it.
