Energy company: Think of the business opportunities an oil spill generates in your local economy!

[muriel_volestrangler]

In a desperate attempt to persuade the Canadians to allow them to build an oil pipeline:

Kinder Morgan has managed to find a silver lining in oil slicks: they could create jobs.

That's according to a 15,000 page application Kinder Morgan has submitted to the National Energy Board for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project (a document so large that it "stands over two metres tall and fills 37 binders&quot .

In a section of the application dedicated to the risks and effects associated with oil tanker traffic and the possibility of oil spills, Kinder Morgan finds that "spills can have both positive and negative effects." In particular, "spill response and clean-up creates business and employment opportunities for affected communities, regions, and clean-up service providers."

1. Jobs program!

Spill oil on the ground and then give people jobs cleaning it up. This is a much better use of the oil because, unlike burning it, there's no carbon released!
