And yet we have record low unemployment so who gives a fuck.

Even 16,149 jobs is optimistic. Those oil pipeline job figures are
always jacked way up, like the promises of jobs with new gilded NFL
stadiums that taxpayers usually have to subsidize.

After the pipeline is built all you can do is routine maintenance and
hope like hell it doesn't burst somewhere (it usually does sooner or
later).

The Alaska pipeline has only had a few minor problems in the many
decades its been operational. And whatever environmental damage results
is orders of magnitude less than accidents at sea with oil tanker ships,
which is the only other practical alternative to pipeline transportation.

Thank you, you're making the argument for electric vehicles quite well.

The Keystone pipeline has had 23 spills in the last 12 years.

And when it leaks, more jobs get created to fix the leak and clean up
the spill.

That doesn't sound good for a pipeline that hasn't even been finished.
