If likes of warren Buffet own lots of railroad stocks, naturally they are going to fight Keystone and other pipelines.
It is capitalism in raw form.
Only solution to this problem is to get political campaigns be funded by taxpayers, That will get lots of corruption out of politics. Politicians will stop running for lifelong careers in politics. The lobbyist's will become unemployed. The lobbyists may be forced to find real jobs.

Tonight's news headline:
"Study shows ‘striking’ number believe news misinforms"
Asked whether they agreed with the statement that national news organizations do not intend to mislead. Only 25% agreed.
But I doubt it.

We don't need no stinking pipelines! We got train loads of poison!
Thousands of animals have died in East Palestine, Ohio, in the aftermath of the train derailment that sent numerous hazardous substances into the surrounding area. Officials said on Tuesday that in the immediate days following the Feb. 3 incident, there were 3,500 dead fish as local waterways, including the Ohio River, became contaminated.
During the incident, 38 train cars derailed, including several cars that were carrying hazardous materials that each pose a set of their own health risks. On the day of the derailment, there was evidence that one of the train cars was releasing vinyl chloride, a known carcinogen that has been linked to a rare and "exceptionally deadly" form of liver cancer.
Three days later, on Feb. 6, crews conducted a controlled release of toxic chemicals from train cars that were in danger of exploding. It didn't take long for a massive dark plume to develop above the site – and for people near the area to see and smell the toll of the incident on their environment.
In a now-viral TikTok, one person shows numerous dead fish within an eerily foggy creek that he says is 2 miles from the train derailment.

Here it has been on TV a couple times. What planet is this conspiracy on? Maybe I'll move there.
When it was on the news there did they tell that people are getting sick? how dangerous the chemical is? did they talk about how residents were told the water was safe when so many fish are dead? Did they tell that the residents will be compensated to what amounts to $5 per person? And was this on the local news and the BIG news?
