“It’s a win-win. The oil company gets their pipeline and the environmentalists are happy,” said beaming White House spokesman Corky Velarde.
However, TransCanada, the company that will operate the pipeline, expressed disappointment with the agreement. ”Jesus Murphy, instead of 830,000 barrels a day, we’ll be lucky to get a gallon through this measly pipe,” said exasperated company spokesman T. Boone Wormley.
