KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE SHOULD BE APPROVED

president obama is torn between jobs and energy security vs. getting re-elected and the environmental lobby. a few facts and thoughts.

there are over 2 million miles of existing pipelines in the US.

the keystone xl will be built to higher standards than any existing pipeline extant

if we block the pipeline, the Canadians will simply build pipelines in canada to the coasts, primarily the west coast; build lng facilities and sell the gas to china. this is not speculation.

so for those who think that by shutting down the pipeline, they can shut down the tar sands production; they cant. the hydrocarbons will be produced, transported and sold.

the only question is to whom.

with the pipeline we will get jobs and cheaper, north american energy

the question for him as he views the world is which will get me more votes; allowing for jobs and energy or pandering to the left

as i think clinton or one of his people said; its the economy stupid!
