Louisiana's Landrieu Seeks Energy Boost in Re-Election Campaign (DRILL, exempt Mary, DRILL!)
Wall Street Journal ^ | 3/28/14 | Amy Harder, Alicia Mundy

**SNIP**

She supports construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, a project that many Democrats oppose because of its potential climate impact. Ms. Landrieu is also pushing revenue-sharing legislation that directs more money generated from offshore energy production to coastal states like hers.

Oil and natural gas fill the veins of Louisiana's economy and culture. Second only to Texas in natural-gas production and refining capacity, the state is home to the Henry Hub, a place where more than a dozen major pipelines come together and that serves as the official delivery location for futures contracts on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Ms. Landrieu's challenge, party strategists say, will be to wield the gavel in a way that shows she can help Louisiana and its energy industry while distancing herself from her party, which is viewed negatively by many of the independent and Republican voters Ms. Landrieu must win to keep her seat.

"One of the reasons I'm running again is to chair this committee, because I've—by God's grace—lasted long enough to do it," Ms. Landrieu, the new head of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources panel, told a crowd of more than 300 assembled in Lake Charles for the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association's annual meeting.

Notice that the excuse by the Dems for being against the pipeline is ‘climate change’,(global warming).

Genesis 8:22 clearly says according to the NKJV,
“While the earth remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Winter and summer,
And day and night,
Shall not cease.”
Therefore global warming does not exist and anyone who professes to be a Christian and says it does, is not. This should end all debate on this scam.

Thanks Libloather.

We’ll see some fake action toward approving Keystone sometime during the election campaign. And then nothing until we get a Republican POTUS.

The Democrats won’t be in charge after Nov. so she won’t be head of anything.
