http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICLXQN_lURk This is how the clean energy crowd shows its true concern for birds, somehow when they auto ignite it isnt important so long as no oil is involved.

This information is only a minor inconvenience to liberals who never meet a truth that isnt worth lying about.

This is precisely the sort of juvenile attitude that seems to pervade BC

You mean cuz oil floats on water? And this is a river, damn, why didn't they think of turning the river off? There won't be a real cleanup, unless there is heavy oil on the shoreline near the spill or on the bottom, it will be carried off and diluted, clean water will take it's place. I heard there are places in the west where oil literally leeches out of the ground and into rivers all on it's own, has for thousands of years, some of that water ends up in this dirty mud puddle..what's it called, o yea, Great Slave Lake, you wouldn't like it.

If being wrong about one thing means you can't be right about something else I suppose none of us are ever right about anything, except of course, you select few.

As if that was the only use for it anyway.

Well, maybe it was police brutality, or maybe it's another hands up don't shoot moment, to some the truth won't matter, i feel badly for their limitations.

You can suspect any foolish thing you like, and any conspiracy theory you wish, as you are prone to do, but at least in my case I have absolutely no commercial attachment to the oil industry, other than of course, and like you, having most of the things in my life powered by or made from oil. Your the one who is hiding your personal interest in oil, you use it just like the rest of us, but behave as though your above it all and therefore can cast judgement upon those who are beneath you. It's a common theme from the people from that perfect province. But I do find your's and others general ignorance to be insulting, to leave it go unchallenged would simply be wrong.

Cop out, you enjoy this modern, literally made of oil lifestyle, as does everyone in BC, there is no other option, that's just a fairy tale.

Irrelevant. The hallmark of the fringe left is hypocrisy, so I can only assume you, like most who share your broken beliefs, are a massive hypocrite, it's a requirement of the ideology, it's impossible to function logically within that broken framework. In fact, you are to blame, in part, for every oil spill, and you're ok with that as long as it happens in someone else's backyard, if not, prove to us that you no longer use or need oil and therefore your hands are clean. I suspect you like your oil, you, just like all of the other lefty hypocrites here want someone else to bear all of the burdens associated with producing and transporting it. I live very near what might someday be the energy east pipeline, our water supply is very close to it, but should i fight against it while I fill my tank at the Shell down the street? No, because that gas came from somewhere and if wherever that is can accept the risks so can we.

Tell us, exactly how did this flight do that? Do you think there isnt already a lot of people working to make solar cells more efficient? This flight is just another media show, it's designed to impress exactly who you would expect, people who in actuality know little or nothing about science. People who seem to think that 'Star Trek' will someday be possible, stupid people.

It's called energy density, orders of magnitude, impossible, those dinosaurs as you call them, they are just people who live in the real world, and they seem to be a lot smarter than you.

Where exactly? Why is normal industrial activity in most places "selling out" BC's environment? Other than people like you somehow thinking you're better than everyone else, everywhere else. Not a single one of you has given a reason that couldn't apply to other places that already have pipelines or refineries or oil terminals, etc. Not one. You think you're special, better, you aren't, neither is your province, it has rocks and trees and water, just like everywhere else.

I feel badly for Americans that their electoral system has only given them these two candidates, but I guess it's a woman's turn and she is on top of that pyramid, despite being terrible. It's also hard to understand how another candidate couldn't tap into some of what works for Trump without being a racist or a bigot, maybe that's the only reason it works, which is a really sad thought. I still don't believe Trump is electable, but on CNN this morning there is a poll citing that he is in the lead.

The difference is, coal is viable, it has value, wind isn't and does not. Not unless of course it's subsidized by the kind of politician people like you elect.

Only a place where people are generally spoiled would produce so many detached from reality.

I must not be the same species, it's a more likely explanation than in the op.

Here is an article about the people of BC who are against this pipeline, as usual the ones leading the charge are mostly far left crazies. People who should simply be ignored, and in most parts of the world, would be. http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/brian-hutchinson-bitter-diatribe-in-b-c-as-federal-liberals-drive-by-pipeline-consultation-lands

Surely, but it is effectively impossible to prevent all leaks, now what? When are all of you going to stop using oil? Why is it ok if the oil you use leaks from a pipeline in something other than perfect, untouchable BC and be spoils that environment? What if we lived in a slightly different world and the other provinces or countries oil has to pass through decided that while we need it, they aren't happy being solely responsible for its potential environmental problems and massive hypocrites can do without until they agree to bear some of the burden that they do? I guess the majority in BC would be just fine with that, or not at all.

disingenuous, as usual, as if your opinion doesn't imply a ban, again, what a joke, this is what passes for reasoned arguments to those who can't make them.

You mean ignorant and stupid like suggesting your precious little province shouldn't suffer the indignity of an oil pipeline just because you would rather someone else suffer the burden of the production and transportation of the oil the people in the province consumes? Stupid things like that? Well reasoned arguments indeed. What a joke.

the etc. is where the problem lies

Luckily BC doesn't use any oil and can refuse to allow pipelines without being massive hypocrites. And this is an impossibly large spill, something the human race should not stand for, no matter how much benefit we gain from oil. This spill would almost fill one Olympic size swimming pool, and is in volume almost as much water as the North Saskatchewan river discharges every second of every day, huge. http://baiesaintemarie.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/cape-st-marys-lighthouse.jpg Thank goodness the adults in BC won't let their coast turn out like the Bay of Fundy coast of Nova Scotia, all that brown stuff in the picture must be oil.
