Well, its in the news that a "major", and thats a Fed Gov description, Exxon Mobil pipeline rupture occurred in AR. And apparently there was a previous one I didn't know about into the Yellowstone River, which is personal to me since I'm returning to that area in WY for my once a year fishing binge.
So, I went Googling to find more info and found this in the March 8 edition of the Christian Science Monitor:
"The State Department has just this week released a report which actually estimates a far lower number of jobs will be created by the Keystone XL pipeline. The one to two year construction phase of the pipeline will likely only create around 42,100 jobs, and this number would fall to just 35 permanent jobs in order to perform maintenance and inspections along the entire length"
Now, this differs slightly from the claim of "half a million new permanent jobs in the USA" from tar sands-pipeline industry spokesmen so I'm wondering if someone is LYING ?
