Title: Have seen effects of Keystone pipeline

I would like to respond to Charles Davison's Feb. 13 letter to the editor regarding the Keystone XL pipeline.

As a summer resident for some years now of Day County in South Dakota, I have observed firsthand some of the effects of the first Keystone pipeline now in operation.

I am taken aback by Davison's statement that “the dangers of a leaking pipeline into the aquifers is nothing.” It is certainly nothing to him if it is not his water or land being contaminated. Keystone has had 13 leaks on U.S. soil since going operational. One in Day County was not reported to any government agency at the time of the spill. Lucky for Day County residents, it was a somewhat small and contained spill. Canada's part of the Keystone pipeline has had 21 spills.

The jobs have been a fraction of what has been realized.

All of the Native American tribes in our area were opposed to Keystone and are currently opposed to Keystone XL.

Trans Canada (KSPL) got $2.85 million in tax credits and has paid $2.95 million in state property taxes. This is a half to a third of what they projected to pay.

When right-of-way contracts were being negotiated with landowners, they were given the options of taking Trans Canada's deal or were told the right of way would be taken through eminent domain — their property being condemned. This was told to me directly by one of Trans Canada's negotiating agents.

In Davison's letter, he advocates the government mandate the oil be sold domestically. Is he for more government control? Does he realize this oil is not “drilled” for but comes from “open pit” like operations in Canada? Our government does not tell Canada how or where to conduct the exploiting of its natural resources.

Keystone XL oil will be sent to Texas and refined mostly into diesel fuel to be shipped to South American and European markets. Keystone XL will, by most accounts, cause our domestic fuel prices to rise.

Want to see the effects of leftard loonytoon eco-moonbats domestic energy policies? Check out the prices at the gas stations, look at the prices of food and everything else skyrocketing because of shipping costs. Look at more layoffs by US industry because it can't make product at a competitive price when their energy bills keep going up higher and higher.

And all this silly shit it unnecessary, it's economic suicide committed for absolutely no logical reason.

A friend of my mother's had a husband that talked like you. Their son acted on the values expressed by his dad and as a result was arrested and spent some time in jail as a teenager. For the dad, his chickens came home to roost when HE was investigated and his job, that required a security clearance, was put at risk.

It took the father a long time to grasp the fact that the language he used and values he expressed had influenced his son - word to the wise.

Locally we have a beautiful park, complete with hiking trails, a golf course, a lake for sailing, built on the site of a dump. The city funded site clean-up and construction by converting methane into electricity (see Eric, I do to know electricity isn't made at the plug) and selling it.

And so many regulations are at the behest of businesses trying to corner the various markets. Because the dirty little secret is: free marketeers really do hate competition.

No kidding! Just like they justify big financial rewards because they are "the risk takers" while seeking guarantees, and tax breaks because they are risk adverse. They demand safety and comfort to preform their market magic which may, or may not come to pass. When they fail to deliver on the promise, it's not their fault, it's the government's.

California gets most of it's oil from SA and other foreign sources. It tends to be more expensive and the lobbyist for users and businesses in the Midwest that depend on cheaper oil prices to stay competitive, want to keep it that way.

There are places here in Oregon with a similar price. And here it's illegal to pump your own gas. I haven't pumped my own gasoline in years, they have to hire attendants here to do that.

It should be like that everywhere as it creates good, entry level jobs. And it hasn't led to higher gas prices here.

I do. It was extraordinarily horrible. Many people in other parts of the country have problems comprehending the shear size of the fleet of privately owned cars in California. The current regulations passed because it was a matter of survival to do so.

I remember the smog when the population wasn't half what it is now and I lived in the East Bay where it wasn't considered that bad. We did hold horse shows in Rodeo on weekends and by three o'clock in the afternoon everyone complained of headaches from the Union 76 pollution.

I also remember going down the Santa Ana Freeway in the late seventies and not being able to see Santa Ana or even the car in front.

It's the way people here want it. They have tried to make self serve legal time to time, but the people always vote such measures down.

The same with a sales tax, we have never had one. They have never been able to pass a measure making one. Again, it's the preference of the people in this state.
