10. Yep - and we'll have to import our food and water all the way from China!

This is what I've been saying about KXL all along - of course, the Climate Change aspect of it is very bad. But even worse, and more immediate and irrefutable, is what KXL will do to our water, and to the Ogallala Aquifer, and to our agriculture, for Pete's sake! 14 oil spills already on Keystone 1? I heard that up in Alberta, there are an average of 2 oil spills every single day!

Hey, let's do a little science experiment: How long can a man survive without gas for his car? He can walk, or ride a bicycle. But how long can he survive without food or water? Duuhhh!
