Failure to build Keystone XL pipeline expected to result in 28 fatalities a year

due to the expected increase of dangerous oil-rail traffic, per an official State Department study. View the source below. LINK

Human life is what we're trying to protect.

Yep, that's why it's safer to build a pipeline thru sparsely populated areas as opposed to running oil trains thru the middle of a mega-metropolis.

How many unemployed people will die each year from not having a job if the pipeline is not built?

28 human lives to save one speckled dick salamander? Sounds like a good trade-off to me.

Ironically not building the pipeline is more harmful to the environment.

The remaining portion of the Keystone pipeline project, if completed, will be fewer than 1,200 miles long — just a fraction of the existing 2.6 million miles of oil and gas pipelines running beneath our feet in the United States.

Earlier this year, the State Department released an environmental review that concluded the Keystone XL very likely wouldn't have a significant effect on greenhouse gas emissions because the oil will ultimately be produced, even if the pipeline is not built. But environmental groups object to that conclusion and want the oil left in the ground.
Yeah ok

The state department has no leg to stand on. This is just a bailout to the rail industry.

How is not building it protecting human life?

Two Problems:
1) When you take out non-rail related incidents the deaths drop to 13.
2) The death rate includes trespasser deaths. If this includes suicides, then obviously the rate wouldn't increase due to increased rail traffic.

bullshite.
Human life is secondary, at best. Human quality of life is completely irrelevant.
See environmental policies directed to "endangered species" (irrigation/water restrictions, shuttering hydroelectric dams); "clean energy" (attacking coal - abundant, cheap and a shitton cleaner than it used to be; no nukes); "climate change;" etc.

So I guess we can dispense with the "if it just saves ONE life, it is worth it" meme the DEMs trot out every time they have some ridiculous libtard idea.
great -- I'd trade the pipeline for that albatross.

How does the pipeline endanger human life more than railroad transport?
Rail has danger of wrecks, locomotives burn fuel to move it which contribute to greenhouse gases, etc. it's inefficient
Oil isn't going anywhere soon as long as it's the cheapest source of fuel. The pipeline is the safer and greener choice over rail transport

Trains don't kill people. They're inanimate objects, right? Why are we demonizing trains?
