Should the Pipeline be built?

Response to David Yu’s Blog https://blogs.ubc.ca/davidyu/

 Unlike David, who believes that the pipeline should not be built, I on the other hand fully support the construction of this pipeline. After consideration I believe that the pros outweigh the “chance cons”, because they only happen under the condition when a disaster submerges. Building a pipeline has many advantages tied to it; the employment rate created by the pipeline is immense which in turns will create more rotation inside the economy. The oil industry will be bumped to an even higher level of efficiency as the “Keystone Pipeline Project” is completed, with its new ways of transportation the support cities that it runs through. Alberta, through Nebraska towards Houston, will gain an economic boost, because of the increased ease flow of oil lowering the price.

With any certain amount positives, behind will always follow a trail of negatives on a certain percentage of happening. The nearby communities, will only be affected if the construction is processed through without any thoughtful planning; projects are usually ran through a series of tests and percentages weighed against each other before proposal thus proving that the pros usually out the cons in ceteris paribus (with all other things constant).
