   Dunno, can they be trusted to both build and operate it in a manner   
   consistant with public safety ? Past practice show's that not to be the   
   case. The first iteration of the Keystone XL pipeline, not only crossed over   
   the Ogallala Aquifer, evidently the 3rd largest aquifer in the US. The   
   original plan also called for the experimental usage of both a thinner   
   walled pipe, and at a higher that usual pressure....Gee,what could possibly   
   go wrong with that plan ?   
      
     cheers....Jeff
