what the state of nebraska said is that the people who live there have a right to have input into the process about what happens on their lands. and what are those expressed concerns? what s your understanding? well, there s several. this pipeline will run across some important environmental habitat. if there are spills there could be tremendous impacts not on wildlife but the people who live on these lands. frankly, some people don t want a pipeline crossing their field. so john, simple as that, don t nebraskans, landowners have the right to say i don t see the benefits outweigh the risks? they do certainly have the individual right to protest what could be happening, but we need to change the paradigm for a moment. this is not the good guys versus the bad guys, meaning the oil industry versus the environmentalists. you can take it either way. this is about future national energy security and economic resilience. the world is going to be oil short within the next three to four
refineries in texas. and so for people to perpetrate that myth is just an untruth. perhaps, john, the biggest concern is something that was underscored in this study that was released in canada saying that canada found toxins are likely seeping into groundwater from oil sands so how can we trust to the oil industry will keep it clean while doing business? there are always risks with hydro carbons but we have 200,000 miles of oil products pipelines in the country today, 25,000 of which reside on top of the owigalala aquifer. they work. they can break, they can be fixed, but they work. they create the economic prosperity and the transportation system that s the envy of the world in these united states and i think we need to provide that for future generations as well, 20, 30, 40 years into the future.
in row newable forms of energy but allowing keystone xl to move forward could advance both goals. joshua, what do you say about that latest op-ed? if we add 800,000 barrels of day of the dirtiest type of petroleum product, how can we assume that won t have any climate impact? if i pick out at a buffet, i can t lie and say it s not going to impact my belly. john, how do you respond to that? well, the 800,000 barrels are going to be produced regardless of what the u.s. does. canadians are fully capable of building a pipeline to the east or the west to export their oil to the other parts of the world. the reality is the oil is going to be produced based upon the sovereign nation of canada s long-term export strategy. i want to dispute the myth that this oil is to be exported through the u.s. that is not the case. i personally signed contracts when i was president of shell to use canadian oil sands oil in
