Sneaky, I am not an environmenalist but it begs the questions if an additional pipeline would require additonal roads,levees, and canals to be constucted across wetlands and our state's natural resources to inspect the integrity of this steel, repair leaks, and perform other maintenance? Would wildlife be negatively affected?

There are studies done, and a lot of jumping through the hoops to make sure the environment isn't impacted.
Now of course leaks happen, but there are a lot of things in play to make sure it doesn't... Scada, line inspections etc. And when it does happen, there's a remediation process to minimize the long term effects.

Thought we were talking about jobs? Obviously the economic impact is more than what's created during the construction period or to operate and maintain the line. The true economic value is created by connecting markets. The two shouldn't be weighed against each other. If the market supports building a pipeline, and it can be done in an environmentally responsible manner, then build it. Landowners and others affected by the construction or loss of land are compensated for their losses.
