Benefits outweigh pipeline risks

We are acting as if the Keystone Pipeline is the first pipeline to be built across America and the heartland. It is not. There are 2.5 million miles of it already. This is not America's first rodeo with this. People keep screaming 'risk.” Are we really going down that road again? Of course there is risk, which is outweighed by the benefits.
We can keep supporting Putin and the Islamic radicals who say they want to kill us or support people we fish with and have a beer with. I choose beer.
