yourname2000 saidAs a Canadian, disappointed....as much because this isn't going to change the production of oil one iota...just where it goes. And now the infrastructure will be built to ship this oil to Asian and South Asian markets. I personally would have preferred that America get more of its oil from us and less from the Middle East.

Oooooh the outrage ....... Where was all this indignation when Bush was emptying out the treasury boys?

This thread isn't about Bush...in fact, Bush is soooooo 2008...Get with the program. Obama had a chance to move our energy program forward but didn't take it. One almost wonders if he's actually in cohorts with the middle east.

Umm.. Dude? The Middle East?
This was a set up by McConnel and crew
And is this election cycles ... "Drill Baby Drill"
This was not set to be decided upon until AFTER the election because it needed to be studied environmentally and checked out on its feasibility
The company that was set to make the pipeline has not yet reported on taking it through Nebraska
But the republicans never miss a political opportunity
So they pushed up the date to THIS Feb .... AND put it into a NEED TO PASS appropriations bill
And so you know... This ISN'T about Bush ... It's about the phony concern republicans have for jobs in this country and where that concern was when we were hemorrhaging jobs during the last administration

Wrong wrong wrong again. As usual you're more interested in making some biased snide comment than actually focusing on the real topic here and that topic is the U.S.A.'s energy dependence. It's been a huge problem in not just this administration but several before it who talk the big game about an energy policy that will ween us off of dependence on foreign oil, and yet we really never quite make the tough decisions needed to get there. This Keystone thing is a prime example, and the whole "environmental" excuse is one great big cop out to keep us from pulling out all the stops and moving this country balls-to-the-wall towards energy independence.

If Obama is defeated, I think many Democrats will speak up voicing their dissatisfaction with him, and the whole progressive wing of the party will be in retreat.
Anomalous saidThe pipeline is supposed to come through my state (Nebraska) and go through our delicate sandhills area. In fact several landowners where the pipeline was slated to run take my spin class. They are very conservative yet still wary about the pipeline. There are environmental concerns about the disruption of the cattle land during the construction, how much soil is going to be displaced in the sandhill and plans to restore it once construction is finished. There are also compensation concerns about use of the land. Granted this is fueled more by the compensation the windfarm people got (ongoing vs one-time payment).
I believe our state has put in accountability clauses and discussed rerouting the pipeline. Our biggest concern is that pretty much the whole state sits atop the Ogalala aquifer. Should there be some catastrophe and the pipeline fail and/or leak, we don't know what damage would be done. The only assurace we have is that "it won't fail."

southbeach1500 saidYou stated that several times last week.. and you were PROVEN to be wrong.. quit playing games, liar. Everyone here, to include the conservatives are tired of your constant lying. You make them look like fools.. Its not a wonder why THEY ignore you as well.
The EPA (that's the Environmental Protection Agency for some of our slower liberal friends here) approved the pipeline.

We have the same assurance that fracking could not contaminate aquafers.
