as a fellow veteran that is a emergency responder that responds to major chemical HAZMAT issues for a living I have to ask you.....what do you want done here? Rail is far more dangerous then pipelines (and lots of oil passes via rail in this area daily), older pipelines are reaching their usable lifespan and failing…

This may not be a popular opinion - but I’m assuming that years of planning went into this project - was there protesting all along the way? Or just at this point, where they are actually building it, and the costs for changing the pipeline are now huge?
