approval for a railroad project
Let’s see…
that would carry crude oil
😭 what the heck
Yeah, they’re trying to extract a bunch of tar, which requires enormous energy inputs to turn into a useful fuel, and which is tough to transport by pipeline.
It really feels like SCOTUS noticed that environmentally-conscious people are advocating for expansion of rail, and will now rule in favour of this project just to spite them.
The bait was real. I knew there was a catch, i just knew it. But I let my guard down anyway.
They’re all about immanentizing the eschaton.
The rail route they’re trying to enable starts in rural east Utah, then heads into Colorado and travels mere feet away from the the Colorado river. Contamination of that water source would only affect Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, and Mexico. What could possibly go wrong?
I LOVE when Unelected Lifetime Officials decide to create their OWN Legislation! It’s a good thing NONE of these Unelected Lifetime Officials have any Conflicts of Interest!
