Well if rejecting it can help us improve the deal that is a win. From my understanding the Canadians are just using us to export the oil. It isn't necessarily going to be used in the U.S.
I think rejecting the Keystone pipeline is just one in a long line of irresponsible policies designed to damage domestic oil production. I think the decision is indefensible and exposes Obama's claims of not wanting to rely on foreign oil for the lie that it is.
Canada isn't foreign? There goes that geography thing again.
Canada is like America Jr. We're getting the oil from a family member
Yeah, call me crazy but I feel quite a bit more secure in our relationship with Canada than I do with the middle east.
The oil isn't staying here. We take the risks they make the money doesn't sound like a great deal.
"Our job is to build pipelines," TransCanada CEO Russ Girling told Fox News in an interview at his downtown Calgary office building.
Girling said it's only logical for a pipeline that starts in Alberta to go through the U.S. and end up next to the large refineries on the Gulf Coast.
"I'm confident that the Keystone XL pipeline is going to get built. The U.S. imports some 10 million barrels a day of oil. It only makes sense for them to get as much as they can from their friendly northern neighbor."
Not all the oil would stay "here", but we import 10 million barrels of oil a day. I can't imagine why you think we wouldn't get it, at least some, from Canada given the opportunity.
Oh look. Pretty much what I was saying;

It has not been blocked btw, it has just been delayed to find a safer route. The state of Nebraska, who's groundwater resources were at risk with the existing route, benefits the most from the delay and rerouting.
LOL, why don't I just post a link to the TransCanada website. That'd be effectively the same thing.
You're the one who voted for the first option, aren't you?
No, I'm the one that voted other. Nebraska benefits the most from allowing more study for a safer route.
you know, because oil pipelines leak all over the place.
BP's history is a major pipeline leak every 7 years.
Yeah bp doesn't have a MAJOR accident but every seven years in average? I live in Houston. In the last 7 we have had an oil spill the gulf and two refinery expositions where people died. All from BP.
BP's history is a major pipeline leak every 7 years.
The shame, that pipeline couldve made a handful of multibillionaires more multibillions with delicious rich man tricklings for all of us.
We could also do something insanely radical like not buying a redundant set of 4-5 fighter jets to vaporise ants from the sky into slightly thinner vapors and send half a million people to college.
