Leave Fossil fuels in the ground!
short term project with long term detriment
We do not want or need this or any other pipeline crossing our state. It is not much of a benefit for Iowa, and when it does rupture it will ruin our farmland and possibly our drinking water for many decades if not centuries. These pipelines should not even be considered. The companies behind them are also using strong arm tactics to get land owners to sign, which is or should be illegal and is immoral.
Safe water always!
Thanks for sending me this timely information. July 27./28. will be a showdown before the
Nebraska Supreme Court re: property condemnation attempts by Transcanada …..seeking
to gain easements against Nebraska landowners ….” eminent domain ” ….. this for a
FOREIGN CORPORATION !!! NOT for the common good of Nebraskans,, rather most
certainly against our interests. Attorney Dave Domina has taken up the cause of these
people and, we strongly believe, will prevail in the final decision. GO BIG DAVE !

Wow ! You know how to tell these horror tales, Ed ! Maybe you’d like to do it up as a
document (or pamphlet) to be distributed by such as the “Iowa Farmers’ Union” (and,
of course) my own “Nebraska Farmers’ Union” …… ? and Duane Hovorka’s “Nebraska
Wildlife Federation” ?? …… Sorry I missed you before the Neil Young concert last Thurs./ +
“INFO / EXPO” for the good of multiple environmentally friendly causes out in front of
the Pinnacle Bank Arena …… Had brief skirmish with a Canadian (prominent red
maple leaves on his white headband) standing in line at beer concession ……. sang him
the Pipeline “Fight(er) anthem at full volume (which drew applause from several who
had heard him roar into his sales pitch for the wonderful wealth-producing KXL with its
thousands of happy, wealthy-becoming employees …… ( he forgot to mention their
appellation of “scrupeless” ( sorry …… forgot how to get “spell-check” on this newer
machine !!…..so just took a stab …..( it’s the sincerity that counts in the end !)
( to the tune of that ditty known in Huskerland simply as ” No Place !” ) ….chosen because
a good bus song (marching song) is one whose melody is remembered even in one’s sleep!)
( You can hear the original version with band accompaniment on Huskerbay.com .)
” NO, we don’t want any TARRRRRRR SANDDDDDDS!” !!! Tar sands are bad for YOUUUUUU
They stink and they poison, the girls and the boys ‘an (‘un) …..
Our water yet pure through and throughhhhhhhh !
Keep your sewage in your ownnnnnnnnn land …… or donate it to Japan …..
……..to Russia or China ……….. now what could be fine-uh ……
TRAN SCRAM DA, …… You should be BANNED ! ……….UNHHHHHHH !
( last syllable known as a “stinger” in pep band genre.
WAR !!!!! ……and HEALTH ! ~~Alex Keriakedes~~
( on Facebook ….. and Twitter ……. but totally uncontrolled so ……at one’s own risk. )
Iowans reap NO benefit from the Bakken Pipeline! It will pollute our water, our air, and damage our health when it LEAKS…as we KNOW it will.
Citizens should not be forced to provide land for this horrible project!!
It’s not what Iowan’s want. Stop the pipeline.
