We asked my BIL last week, he's our family geologist, about the pipeline.. He indicated the pipeline isn't a problem, there are already many others, the problem is that they were too tight to reroute it away from the aquifers, so it fits in with the Governor's position.. Move it, make it safe, then go for it... If we knew all the networks of pipelines we have, Nationwide, it would surprise a lot of folks.. We've had our share of blowouts here with NG, imagine oils, tars! Not as explosive, but nasty... Cannot cut corners, safety comes first!

Governor Calls on President to Deny Pipeline Permit

(Lincoln, Neb.) PIPLINE LETTER (pdf) - Today, Gov. Dave Heineman sent a letter to President Barack Obama and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, urging the federal government to deny the permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline, currently proposed to be routed over the Ogallala Aquifer.

In the letter, Gov. Heineman said, “I want to emphasize that I am not opposed to pipelines. I am opposed to the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline route because it is directly over the Ogallala Aquifer.”
