now we just had a report on the state department saying that dad don't worry
there's no environmental concerns a no major concerns
about the trans-canada project Keystone XL pipeline is gonna start in Canada go
through
the US now CBC news that a terrific report
showing that there was this giant explosion in a giant spill back in 2009
that was covered up by the Canadian government poops we just find out about
it
after the State Department issued their report by the way
it's not really the state department's report the outsource it to private
contractors
who have business with TransCanada ok
so now it's over the real safety issues route risk and
CBC News explains the pipeline had an uncommon problem
a bacteria that cause particularly aggressive growth rates
of corrosion the Alberta pipelines rupture rate
is five times higher than tech Canada's national rupture rate
repeated in a 2004 story study so understand what's happening
because all the way that
the tar sands are the corrosion on the pipes
despite times worse than it would be to normal oil pipelines
all college here we just found out about that
and even though they said the environmental impact would be
insignificant
interesting well then we go to a different a new story
and had this is about the National Academy of Sciences here in the united
states and their conclusions
they say actual levels ok poly cyclic aromatic which sounds lovely
hydrocarbon emissions into the air maybe two to three times higher than estimated
said the findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences a
peer-reviewed US journal
so why big spike the industry estimates
were way lower than the actual measurements apparently cuz they did not
include any escape
of pH is from tailing ponds which are engineered I can damp systems built near
mining operations in the oilsands to collect the water sand clay and residual
oil
left over from processing let me ask you something you think that they didn't
know about that
that all looked at the residual stuff that we
siphoned off into their should we take that into account when we do our studies
industry estimates well
it turns out the industry study their own pollution decide it wasn't that bad
because they didn't count a huge part of it yes it was a great idea that said
that out to private contractors who have contracts with TransCanada
well played now Frank why explains
if you use is officially report emissions from the oilsands area
you get an emissions their city that is lower than just about anywhere
else in the world are you ready for this is really funny according to the US
State Department and that's the way the just-released
they say that the emissions
from the car sans in Canada are less
than their missions in Greenland where they have almost no industry
I
they're not even trying part bike yeah
will obviously were corrupt was just yeah oh yeah its pedigree minutes
you know what here that's the ticket it's it's it's the less emissions in the
Garden Arena in New Year year that's what it is
mates less emissions in the North Pole centers much about the place up with all
those elves
and all that oil production Canada has produced predicted that oil sands
development
will bring in about to trillion dollars over the next two decades
who could that be the reason why industry estimates
have underestimated by two to three times
what the actual emissions from this pipeline are gonna be
response to say
we report you decide those the actual numbers
okay reports say of course the reality is we don't decide at all
are corrupt politicians the side and it's a new year guarantee the President
Obama
will prove this the Canadian government wants that the US government wants it
and emissions pollution corrosion
be damned the citizens of those countries be damn
they gotta make money taking that oil out of canada
shipping it through the US to the pipeline and onto other countries
we get all the pollution all the possible problems
but we don't actually get the oil I do you like that Keystone oil pipeline now
