Your Opinion: Problems with oil pipeline

Dear Editor:

The pipeline crossing below the Missouri River could be hazardous to the citizens or anyone on the Missouri River.

This includes farmers, businesses, wild animals, citizens, birds, fish, water supplies for our energy-making plants if the pipeline ever breaks.

The other factor is the oil that is to be transferred will not belong to anyone in the United States so that the oil refineries will be tied up at Galveston, Texas, and make our refined products to actually be higher in cost for Canada.

The oil refineries will sell to the highest bidder, so please think in the long run for the children.
