I think the points on oil you make are valid. Your point that I have no clue, is a personal attack a) in that you have no idea who I am b) you have no idea of what I know or how I might know what I profess to know.

You may debate that there are two factions controlling this effort and their motives but that isn't what you said. And that is what I am trying to get you and others to understand. This situation is exactly about what method to transport and the profits of those methods. Obama was backed by railroaders and trump is aligned with pipers.. I don't think he is "backed" but the partners he plays with are in the other camp. And the number of railroad workers put out of work by this pipeline isn't being considered by trump and after construction, it's similar to the other side.

I obviously offended you and for that, I apologize.
It is fun to play conspiracy theory all day. In this case, the
conspiracy is really about buying votes and favor from voters and party
factions with policy. Yes, that translates to political power which also
translates to money. Lets be honest, doesn't about 85% of the crap each
of us do all day have to do with money? Obama didn't want the pipeline
because a faction of his party hated the idea. Mostly a symbolic fight
as pipeline or no pipeline the oil still moves. Trump wants the pipeline
because he made promises about jobs and again, it is a symbol, this time
about how gov gets in the way of business.

In the end, the oil still moves. If everyone who hates oil and coal
would just stop using any good or service that benefits as a result of
those fuels the problem would be solved. Oh yea, you can't because
literally everything is impacted by one of those. Why, because to date,
it has the highest energy output for the cost. Address that and the
issue will take care of itself.

    Ok, Lewis,
            Shift to a personal attack.

            I am saying that there is a back story to a lot of this
    enviro whacko
    stuff.  And the There is $$ that is funneled into that from those that
    have that in spades.  As there is money that is funneled into the other
    side.  That's the money that the Indians are getting.   Yes Buffett
    benefits from railroad transport, he has Yuge investments in the
    railroads in the US and oil transport.   AND, interestingly, he benefits
    when coal starts getting transported in larger amounts.   Koch brothers
    still have huge investments in the pipeline infrastructure in the US.
    Go back 20 years ago and it was estimated that they had direct and
    indirect control of 80 percent of buried pipeline in the US.   They have
    decreased investment into pipelines greatly.  But are still in the game
    in a major way.
