Right now there is NO tar sand oil travelling the hundreds of thousands of miles of pipeline and rail in our country. Google up pipeline maps in the US. You'll be amazed how many pipelines we already have in this country from Canada. The issue isn't the pipeline, The issue is its non-value/potential high-danger to U.S. interests.
