t's official: moments ago TransCanada said the U.S. Department of State issued a presidential permit for the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline, ending a multi-year controversial, at times acrimonious debate over the future of the pipeline. The pipeline linking Canadian oil sands to U.S. refiners had been blocked by Barack Obama, who said the pipeline would do nothing to reduce fuel prices for U.S. motorists and would contribute emissions linked to global warming.
"This is a significant milestone for the Keystone XL project," said Russ Girling, TransCanada's president and chief executive officer, said in a statement. "We greatly appreciate President Trump's administration for reviewing and approving this important initiative and we look forward to working with them as we continue to invest in and strengthen North America's energy infrastructure."

Surely some so called Federal judge will try to block it.
Waiting for lawsuits in 3...2...1
Winning
I would imagine the left already has their Judge picked out and the lawsuit prepared to ask for an injunction.
The real irony is that the pipeline is more environmentally friendly and safer than rail transport by every measurement.
Regardless, another promise kept and another win.
But transporting the same oil by railcar on his crony, Warren Buffett's BNSF Railway reduces prices and has zero global warming impact.
Of course, if Durden says the sky is blue, it’s good to go outside and check, so I’ll wait for a second source before popping any champagne corks.
In his white paper on the subject of the increasing inability to govern a large complex society Edward Martin of the Society of American Governance Professionals outlined the concept of conspiracy to obstruct governance and obstruction of governance. Both are crimes against the Republic that can rise to the capital level.
Obstruction of governance is defined to be an action or actions by an individual or group of individuals to ignore the existing laws or to administer those laws in such a manner that there is in effect no law. The conspiracy to obstruct occurs when individuals engaging in obstruction gather and or act to obstruct governance on a regional or national scale.
Accused are arrested and being flight risks are confined without bail
The punishment initially consists of removal from active society and placement in a village with other conspirators/obstructionists. Within the village there is relative freedom. The village is not composed of cells or other such confinement. Rather the village is a sort of campus including living, recreational and dining facilities to which the village residents can move about freely. The residents are confined to the village and not permitted to visit the other areas of the island
On arrival, the residents clothing is removed. The resident is permitted to enter the clothing warehouse and select from the available clothing. It is anticipated that the most common mode of dress will be what might be described as jeans and various colored T shirts. The resident may return for additional and different clothing but may not exceed the quantity regulation. The island climate is considered mild such that the requirement for clothing is not great.
The sleeping facilities are barracks like but the beds can be removed to other village buildings the resident might find more to his liking. Sheets, pillow cases and blankets are provided in an assortment of types and colors. There is no restriction on gender segregation in any of the sleeping or bathroom facilities.
The dining facility includes what amounts to a commercial or school kitchen and includes a large comfortable dining room with an assortment of various sized tables. The food is provided to the kitchen pantry weekly. It is the necessity of the residents to organize and carry out the various functions of cooking, cleanup and actual eating. The food provided is considered nutritious but simple to prepare. Commodities including beans and rice, surplus cheese and peanut butter and canned fruit will be provided for preparation will be provided to the pantry.
A recreational room or several such areas are provided. Since there is no outside information allowed within the village, the large screen TVs are provided with what amounts the inventory of several Block Buster store inventories. It is the duty of the residents to organize and administer the use of the TV sets and the DVDs. These facilities may also include ping pong tables, cards and card tables and similar recreational items.
Similarly, the contents of several used book store will be provided. It is the responsibility of the residents to sort and organist the titles into a usable library.
There will be an administrative center where various hygiene items can be obtained. There will also be such items as basic supplies including lined pads, ball point pens and pencils. Writing is confined to personal notes and journals and no communication outside the village is allowed.
It's my understanding that every possible legal challenge has already been exhausted. I think this really is a go.
Lot’s of steel pipe going into the construction of the pipeline.
Justin Bin Trudeau will be deeply saddened
And there goes Warren Buffets railroad empire....
Or perhaps that topic came up with obama over taco salad
Au contraire mon ami. Little Pierre is all for this project. Even he sees the benefits.
Hmm. Why is the Department of State involved in the issuance of permits? Why would that not be other appropriate agencies?

All y’all,
Anyone heard of this Edward fellow and his Society?
Cool story, bro, but are you sure you posted to the correct thread?
Trump will have a boffo re-election campaign, running against Obstructionist Federal Judges.
How much oil will move through this pipeline from Canada if the Republicans institute their border adjusted tax? Oil sands are already a very expensive.
So easy to do, after watching that ignorant ass shuck and jive on the approval for 8 years.
