Right.  There's no such thing as "in the middle" for these discussions.  If you're against building more pipelines, you get hit with extremist statements like above.  If you're for pipelines, then you get hit with extremist statements that you are  spewing oil over everything.  I don't think Kinder Morgan can be shut down tomorrow, we still need the oil that is currently moving.  However I do not agree that more pipelines need to be built and all of Alberta tar/oil sands need to be excavated in the next decade or two.   I realize that many people still like to think in terms of what is best for the next fiscal quarter or year but we need to evaluate these potential projects on what the long term 50-100 year outlook is going to be and it would seem to me that it currently stands as a potential windfall for people in the 50+ year old age range with all the costs being borne by those <age 25.
