The part about the pipeline I don't like is the diluted bitumen. The corrosivity by itself is not necessarily bad. The 'dilbit' can be some nasty stuff if they don't get all the water, sand, and sediment shit out of it... Basically its asphalt mixed with naptha and a potential abrasive. A big problem is when the water/sediment settles out in the pipe, which can cause severe corrosion. I'm fine with the pipe, but I'd personally rather Canada refine it, and then ship us usable fuel.
Dude, I have no idea what you just said.
