Keystone Pipeline

[mhall]

Barry says he will veto any bill to promote the pipeline further. Why is Golf boy and his minions so against this pipe line going in. Big oil paying them off is my bet. Why does his Golfness constantly try and block alternative energy sources and please don't tell me how much he likes Windmills, LOL....

I doubt he will veto it. AND if he does, it will be sent back with "veto proof" additions. When you have the house and senate THINGS get done. WAIT.

Demo Communists just don't know how to get **** done.

I'm looking forward to Obama vetoing all he can. When the Senate sends a veto proof bill, what is he gonna do?

[mhall]

The reason I bring this up is he is running around all over the country on his ''NEVER ENDING'' campaign trail with his little man girl chest poked out screaming about how he will veto any bill promoting the further advancement of the pipeline. With his Hawaii tan and his George Jefferson strut and great little one liners.........GAG

I really don't care about this pipeline one way or the other, you guys do realize the purpose of this is to give canada a route to market their oil which will be marketed regardless of the pipeline and the oil will be put on the world market either way so the end result will be the same... From what I have read it is going to produce 40 or 50 permanent jobs after the couple years it takes to build it then whatever might go wrong with the thing will be on us soil... It seems the oil is headed to the gulf states for refinement then on to the great beyond along with the rest of the exports... It doesn't look to me like there will be any additional oil supplied, it will only come from a different source.... There is a fella around here that retired from out that way and according to him, none of the people who live in the path of the thing want it and thats probably true all the way through the route of the thing, It looks like pretty much a no gain for the us, crude will be the same price and quantity with or without the pipeline.

The 35 permanent jobs referenced by some is a result of a US State Department study and considering the source, I wouldn't place much credence in this. For those interested in multi-viewpoints with some numbers (competing) and a comparison between the Alaskan and Keystone, got to: http://www.forbes.com/sites/energyso...y-keystone-xl/ Forbes isn't known as a left or right wing business publication, they're known for fact based financial reporting. Of particular interest in the Keystone debate is the fact that there are already two Keystone trunk lines, this would be the third. What isn't in dispute is the thousands of permanent ancillary jobs that the pipeline will foster and that's where the winner is for America. The number that the Obamaites like to rattle around is the 35 number, and they may be right, but keep in mind that those numbers are based on projected Keystone permanent jobs as a result of its build. Personally, I can't really see where you can maintain and manage this pipeline with only 35 but hey, I'm not in the oil business. I do know that the existing pipelines under Keystone's control, which presently operate in the US have several hundred employees.

I was listening to NPR radio a couple months back, and I think it was on the Diane Rehms show. they were discussing the keystone pipeline, the pipeline is already being used, and has had a lot of eruptions already, the tar is so thick it has to be heated as well as have harmful chemicals mixed with it before it can be piped. here is some of the article on damage the keystone pipeline has already done. it may not be possible but heres a thought, it's Canada's tar why don't they build the pipeline across canada to a shipping port.

Trans*Canada, the $48 billion Canadian company that owns the Keystone, has repeatedly said the XL will be “the safest pipeline ever built on U.S. soil,” a technological marvel with automatic shut-off valves and satellite monitoring. The exact composition of what will flow through the pipeline is not publicly available, but it will include bitumen — a thick, semisolid petroleum product — blended with natural gas that has been pressurized to become a liquid. If the line is approved, it could carry 830,000 barrels a day of this “diluted bitumen” across Nebraska, over 275 miles and through 515 private properties. No one knows exactly what a leak would do, but evidence from past malfunctions suggests catastrophe. In 2010, a spill from Enbridge’s Line 6B dropped 840,000 gallons of bitumen to the bottom of the Kalamazoo River in Michigan. Four years and more than a billion dollars later, the cleanup continues. Last spring, Exxon’s Pegasus line burst near a residential area of Mayflower, Ark., spreading 210,000 gallons of bitumen through neighborhood streets, causing evacuations and leaving residents complaining of respiratory problems, nausea and headaches.

Obama is going to Veto this bill. So don't worry it's not going to be built on US soil. If Canada wants this pipeline let them build it across Canada. Let them suffer any environmental damages if the pipeline leaks. After all this is their oil not ours.

He will veto it, and it will be sent back as VETO PROOF. It will be built, and Obama will be forced to sign it.

Of course, his legacy already ***** ass, so maybe he doesn't give a crap. He sure doesn't give a crap about much anything else that is important, so why this.

Later,

What an idiotic post how will this oil get to American refineries if it goes across Canada??? It will not be Canada oil it will be our oil after we buy it. We have pipelines running everywhere and they all have shut off valves so the risk of spills are very minimal. I would rather buy oil from our good neighbors to the north than from Mid East Muslim nations. Obama Is talking down the 40,000 temporary jobs as though they do not count but he was all over these type shovel ready jobs before he was against them.

Give me ONE GOOD reason not to build this pipeline. If we build it it can also move the shale oil from Nebraska and get it off the rail roads.

Leftists and LibTARDS have everyone convinced that Canadian Oil is simply going to pass through our country, be refined into gasoline and be SOLD somewhere overseas.

That has been the narrative for a **** ton of years. You know what....it ain't true. Oil and resources we can keep in NORTH AMERICA and utilize in NORTH AMERICA, and refine in NORTH AMERICA makes NORTH AMERICA stronger....

But hey, arguing with a libtard is hard. Real Hard.

Good post but they can't answer you and if they do they will just repeat what their King has said. They get on us about watching FOX news but they quote verbatim what their idol says all the time. Obama has to please the leftist evironmental tree huggers and his Saudi buddies therefore he wants this pipeline dead.

I guess you Obama worshippers like paying 4 dollars a gallon for gas, anything for your King.

Hmmm... Not exactly sure if you believe the oil coming through a pipeline across the us will be cheaper than oil coming from another source or how you could believe that... Oil is a set price going to refineries I believe as the price is posted daily... More oil through this pipeline, less oil from some other source, I suspect refineries have an amount of crude they need for their demand daily and whether or not it comes through a pipeline or transported by ship it is the same price and volume or do you believe oil through the pipeline wont be subject to the daily price of crude on the world market... I suspect there are a good many from the right here who aren't living in right wing lala land and can apply common sense to the issue, this pipeline will do nothing for this country in as far as the amount of oil available to the us, the only benefit it will give the us is in the jobs it creates and that weighed against the liabilities of the thing is the only consideration need be shone to it... Canada's oil will be on the world market in the same quantities and price regardless of how it gets to that market..
