These people are nuts ... from the article: “This pipeline will really hurt us,” she said  .... hello there has been a pipeline there since 1953. But I suppose that explains why these folks are so thick ;-)
The stupid, it hurts.
These greens are only trying to do one thing and that is stop any and all pipelines and even though North America has over 2 million miles of oil and natural gas pipelines the sky is always falling for these chicken littles and hence the "really hurt us" mentality.
