Tell me we’re not living in an authoritarian country when the leader of the government can unaccountably veto a project like this.

The 1st Secretary of the Communist Party of the USSR had to consult with his Central Committee in cases like this. Obama? He consults with Valerie Jarrett!

But “YES” to wind turbines that kill over 400,000 birds per year, mostly raptors including Bald Eagles?

We can trust the State department to do the right thing.

obama means... if any of the oil transferred via the pipeline will add to carbon pollution... then he will not build the pipeline... and he means to NOT build it because any use of that oil will cause some level of emission.

So true Andy. The oil from Canada will still get to a refinery somewhere. Instead of being pumped in a pipeline to OK & TX, it may get pumped to the west coast of Canada where it will then be loaded on a tanker and shipped to the highest bidder(most likely China).

Along the way, it is much more likely to cause some kind of environmental catastrophe. When it gets to where it is processed into fuel and other products, there will not be an EPA to watch over their emissions.

Just wait until the LEFT finds out that banning the Keystone pipeline will cause a severe shortage of petroleum jelly.

consider all of the constant jet setting he and moochy do then consider the tons of emissions all of those jet engines expel, not to mention all the hot air obozo hussein himself emits. Okay for me but not for thee! Can anybody cite one thing the obozo hussein has done since being in the WH that has actually been good for America??

You want to eliminate harmful emissions? Sew Obama’s lips together!

By that criteria Joe Biden would have been put down ages ago.

So Obama writes an executive order delegating the approval to the State dept, and then micromanages the process with ‘command influence.’

What ever happened to ‘the buck stops here?’
