Bitumen is the stuff they mine from the tar sands. dilbit is the shit they want to ship through keystone, it's bitumen diluted so that it flows through the pipe. It's been transported for many years through pipelines, mostly in a safe manner. But there is some debate on the safety of transporting it.

Why let others do the work and make the money when you can do it yourself right here at home?
People are working on this and I agree to the extent of your comment that we need the jobs. A little research will solve the problems of transporting it.
