With the Canada-to-Texas Keystone XL pipeline stuck in limbo on the U.S. side, Canada’s Energy Board recently gave a thumbs up to a $6.5 billion pipeline designed to carry 525,000 barrels of oil per day from the oil sands of Alberta to ships on the British Columbia coast. The final destination is most likely Asia. The development has the U.S. oil industry attacking the Obama administration over its drawn-out process.
“It’s taken longer to approve the Keystone XL pipeline than it did to win World War II, longer than it took us to put a man in space, and almost as long as it took to build the Trans-Continental railroad 155 years ago,” said Jack Gerard, president of the American Petroleum Institute.
Could US lose access to Keystone oil? Canada moves to Plan B | Fox News
Jobs, wealth, energy. Things we lose with that idiot in the White House.
No, there is not a "non-partisan" answer. Spare the non-partisan bull**** okay? Obama's made it clear that he doesn't support "fossil fuels" and he won't back Keystone for idiotic "green" reasons. Throws billions at failures like Solyndra but Keystone isn't backed by a major donor and would piss off some of his more vocal base.Do you have a non-partisan opinion as to why Obama is stalling on this? A reason, not a rant please. Even if you disagree with the reason - what is the actual reason (in Obama's view)? Do you know? Does anybody?

I am sure we can lose the keystone pipeline. No doubt if it isn't approved in the near future Canada will have no other choice. IMO Not approving it is the president's way of saying thank you to the greens who supported him.

The oil is destined to be exported, that why they want it near the Gulf of Mexico.

If it reduces the price on the world market wouldn't do the same thing if it was exported from BC?How terrible! Exported oil that reduces the price of oil on the world market - just terrible!
It would create jobs to construct the pipeline, but very few permanent jobs would be created.Who gives a ****? It hits the gulf coast, it can be refined, we have plenty of those, it creates jobs, which we need.

Basically, that and moving forward approving keystone isn't beneficial for the DNC in any strategic way.
There is NO Rationale "non-partisan" motivation to his behavior.

:shock: ... :thumbdown: Whatever happened to the concept of being the President of all the people, instead of a very small, very vocal minority? How much revenue, and how many jobs will never see the light of day? Sad...
There is still time pol, but it is running out.
Building the pipeline does not garentee access to the oil.
and it won't create jobs for everyone, only those with knowledge of working oil rigs and piplines.
it is only a fig leaf.
How many?:shock: ... :thumbdown: Whatever happened to the concept of being the President of all the people, instead of a very small, very vocal minority? How much revenue, and how many jobs will never see the light of day? Sad...
