Yet another indication Joe is clueless.. I dont care so much about the pipeline workers, but I do care about the environment. Blocking pipelines means more pollution, and a hell of a lot of it. But Joe is either not smart enough to understand that or cares more about his image than doing good. No surprise.

@freemo Another point: i think Texas burns excess natural gas because they are unable to export it economically.

So same emissions and no economic use. Hard to regulate away because gas is a byproduct of oil and it would stop production on some wells.

I might be wrong on this tho.

@ArturoGoosnargh Well presumably if there were an actually effective regulation that reduced oil consumption (this isnt one of them) then it would in turn reduce the amount of natural gas burned.

Likewise it could be addressed through regulation by investing more infrastructure in natural gas pipelines (which many eco-conscious people do tend to promote for many reasons).
