2.Much of the land for the proposed pipeline was obtained through eminent domain. I am against eminent domain for private use and therefore against this pipeline.
3.Hate to play devils advocate here but most of that oil would be for export, not use in the US. So the idea that we need large Canadian pipeline cutting through the US for energy independence and low fuel costs is laughable.

1) Agreed
2) The electricity powering the device you used to write the comment as well the device aren't available without eminent domain. The right of way for the electric grid was obtained using eminent domain. The device was delivered via roads or rail lines only possible through the use of eminent domain. There are appropriate uses of eminent domain.
3) The Keystone XL pipeline would have delivered crude to American refineries where American workers would refine it into products for export. What is the objection to American value added manufacturing? If Kim Jung Biden gets his way the Canadians will build a pipeline to their west coast where the crude will be shipped to China where it will be refined and used with no environmental controls and with no contribution to the American economy or reducing the balance of trade deficit.
Oh but wait, Democrat billionaire Warren Buffet will profit from transporting the crude on his railroad while the Canadian pipeline is being built. Helping a billionaire Democrat donor and the Chinese communists who hate us while screwing over our ally Canada, what a brilliant move.
