We must base judgements on facts, not fears.

Example- Sometimes planes crash. What if a 747, taking-off or landing at the Vancouver International Airport, crashed, right in the heart of downtown Vancouver? Should we shutdown the airport, just in case that might happen? Should we curtail/prevent any expansion of the airport, just in case?

Hundreds of thousands of kilometers of fossil fuel pipelines of various sizes criss-cross North America (think of those natural gas pipelines under many cities that deliver the product to every home/business).

Fear and loathing are emotions, not facts!
