Lot of similarity to Detroit. When you have everything based on one industry in a city whether rural or highly populated a market downturn or regulatory issues is going to destroy it. Sad but true. No business is guaranteed unfortunately that's why business owners profit more than the workers when they take the risk and they also feel the pain more than the workers cuz they have higher dollars to lose.

@Unrestricted Gaming same could be said about voting Republican in an oil town. get real

[@SmarterThanTheAverageDumbass]

@Unrestricted Gaming nothing changes the fact that when a city is industry-specific and that industry becomes outdated or experiences severe downturn and it's only invested in one major industry a city will Fall apart no matter who is charge politically. As the world changes and removes it dependency from outdated oil watch what will eventually happen to oil rich countries that rely solely on oil. It's a transitional period now. It's almost like horse breeders planning to stay in business with the advent of the automobile. Yes Coleman Young was a terrible corrupt mayor and made terrible decisions which exacerbated the downfall of Detroit. Letting literally tons of food rot in warehouses meant to help the people struggling with changes in the automotive industry. When people struggle it exacerbates crime and adds to the plight of the people in a death spiral. Granted there were a lot of other factors such as white flight etc. It still doesn't change the fact industry-specific wealth and success changes when the world changes. The world is changing whether you call it virtue signaling or whatever Coal and oil are not good sustainable industries. The risks outweigh the positives when other safer viable options are available.

@Unrestricted Gaming Democrat run states fuel 2/3rds of the U.S. economy where as republican run states are pretty unproductive, education and income are increasing in blue states and declining in red states. You can look it up yourself instead of listening to msm: www.bls.gov/ and nces.ed.gov/naal/estimates/stateestimates.aspx You may also want to do a little research on fossil fuels and how many years we have left, right now it is less than 40, so if you have children or grandchildren and care if they have a future we need to leave the horse and buggy behind.

@@SmarterThanTheAverageDumbass Exactly, just as the ghost towns of the old west were built around mines that eventually went bust, they had get rich quick dreamers then as well, we can't all cash in and that is just a reality of life, What can be done now is to prepare for a different future and jobs created by new technology.

Very short sight, none of these people would be alive in the next 60 to 100 years, but their kids will be living the hell of a boiling earth. We just can’t go back there for a bunch of stubborn people who don’t get it. All these people knew that the building of this pipeline was controversial but they did it anyway!!! They only have themselves to blame.

They’ll burn 10,000 gallons of diesel to get it there by rail. Good job

@@GJH1010 What an amazing brain you do have... Wow!!! Then, you believe that if they forbid the pipeline, who’s somehow a little environmentally friendly, they will allow the train who’s so many times dangerous because of the risk of accident. I remember the last time such a train derailed, the entire little city almost went into smoke. No it won’t happen. This project is dead and buried.

@@NGC7000 CALGARY - Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd.’s blockbuster US$25-billion deal for Kansas City Southern offers new hope for expanded access to the Gulf Coast for Canadian oil producers that have struggled to reach heavy oil markets in Texas and Louisiana. Canadian oil and gas companies have for years tried to expand their options to ship heavy oil from Alberta to the southern coast of the United States, but their efforts to reach the world’s largest concentration of heavy oil refineries have been challenged time and time again. Most recently, U.S. President Joe Biden cancelled permits for the Keystone XL pipeline. financialpost.com/commodities/energy/canadian-oil-producers-see-new-route-to-gulf-coast-refineries-coming-from-cp-rail-deal
