You may not like my stand on this issue; but I always try to be balanced and see the truth of the matter....   

 Having been up and down the Alaskan Pipeline, could send some photos later, there was nothing objectionable about it; except for it being there....   And in my mind that is kind of not liking to see a bridge, but using it to cross the river....  BTW the only bridge across the Yukon River is there beside and because of the Pipe line in Alaska....   The Animals were not hampered, the Tundra was not harmed, in fact the Caribou liked to have their caves under the pipe line due to the heat it offered...  BTW the oil comes out of the ground at about 185 degrees F if I remember correctly, and we can confirm that too...  

 So as I see it,  there will be many jobs, for many years, with a resource that is in short supply, made available to the people who really need it in the lower 48 as they say in Alaska....  More on www.simplytruth.com
