What these leftists feel is that the pipeline will slow or eliminate our use of oil. They may have in passing thought about the trucks but they don't understand that eliminating this pipeline isn't going to stop ONE drop of oil from moving from the fields to the refinery. They can't understand how higher oil/gas prices hurt the working poor the most. They are more then naive, they are willfully dumb.
Yeah, they largely think of oil only as a fuel source for trucks and SUVs, maybe under it role in home heating oil, but have no understanding of its used in fertilizers, lubricants, plastics and other materials and chemicals in products they use day to day. They really are net consumers in every sense of the word.
Plus, they don't know the only reason we've been going back and forth on this pipeline in the first place is because Buffett doesn't want it built - he owns the trains that transport the oil now, and spill the oil regularly - and he's paid lots of bribes to get that pipeline shut down. Nothing to do with green policies, just green money.
