(1,674 posts)We do not get any money, only the Koch brothers get paid for refining it. They pay their workers shit. Trans Canada will use their own crews to build it and will take the lowest bid from US companies to work as diggers. Low bidders do not incorporate the safety equipment needed to prevent spills, oil companies do not go the extra mile to insure the land is safe-they do not care. Canadians voted to disallow the oil to go to their coast. Why do we have to carry Canada's dirty oil? Why continue oil recovery at all when wind and solar are better. If we subsidized clean energy like we do oil, we wouldn't need oil at all. There is enough plastic in the world to carry on, and vasaline is corrosive.Synthetic oil is strong for lubing equipment. Why carry on with the farce of oil?
