Its effect on local economies and the number of long term jobs being created has been overstated.
Those companies aren't exactly hurting without it.
Overstated maybe, but the critics of the pipeline have been wayyyy overstating any potential negatives. Just because people think the benefits "aren't that much" doesn't mean they should be against something that will be funded mostly by the private sector anyway.
It's pretty much like the government telling you that you can't expand your bar to include an outdoor area because it won't be all that beneficial, and it may be noisy for your neighbours.
