re: #231 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

It is not about objective facts, it is about subjective impressions. Environmentalists are presented to us as extremists who want us all to live in lean-tos and wipe our butts with leaves.

Well, there’s that. On the other hand, it was interesting to see Jane Kleeb put together a coalition here of ranchers, farmers, hunters, fishers, environmental groups, &c - all to fight off the Keystone XL in the state supreme court. (Bold Nebraska won on the argument the Unicameral ignored the state constitution in approving a route.)

For all of Mr. Trump’s bluster about approving the Keystone XL, he’ll still have to go through Nebraska, which still will not approve any route. Anything resembling a pipeline route would require eminent domain (which is really frowned upon by conservative ranchers and farmers that make up the base of the GOP voters for our state legislature).
