Obama and enviro-whacko friends know that if they allow Canadian tar sands oil to be developed via the Keystone pipeline, that the US will also start to develop their own tar-sands and shale oil.

The US contains well over 600 years of known reserves and that would allow the US to be a net exporter of oil. If that happens, the green economy ruse that the left has sponsored, already reeling from bankruptcies and cronyism, would collapse. It would show that there is no shortage of oil and “green” energy can not compete with fossil fuels.; February 9, 2012 at 10:58 AM

Instead of allowing the Keystone XL Pipeline to go through, along with the hundreds of thousands of jobs it would create, Obama sided with the political-job environmentalists who raised bogus fears that that Pipeline oil spills could pollute the aquifer that lies under its path.

The proposed 1,700 mile TransCanada's Keystone XL Tar Sands Pipeline would carry tar sands oil from Canada's Athabasca Oil Sands to the Gulf of Mexico. A rupture in the pipeline might cause a BP style oil spill in America’s heartland, over the source of fresh drinking water for 20 million people.

TransCanada Corp's $7 billion Keystone XL oil shipments will now move ahead with an alternate new route utilizing the trackage of the BNSF Railroad with Railcar Shipments of Unit Trains heading from Canada to Texas refineries on the Gulf Coast.; February 9, 2012 at 11:26 AM

Obama has an election coming up and it seems he's again looking at the environmental vote, since the pipeline project was bitterly opposed nation- wide by many environmental groups.; February 9, 2012 at 5:07 PM
