The man who oversaw an energy crisis has come out strongly against the Keystone XL pipeline. In a letter with other Nobel laureates, former President Jimmy Carter urged President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry to reject the pipeline, claiming that allowing the project to move forward would worsen climate change.

Well, he’s the worst EX-president ever, so far.

Of course, that will change Jan 2017, so he’s gotta make hay while the sun shines.

FYI, here are the maps of existing US pipelines. One more would not even be a significant increase.

The Libs are to busy making bullet puller positions in Fed alpha agencies so they can perforate those with opposing views. Sounds familiar.

Soon or later Canada may well hook up with China and build pipelines from the oil regions to expanded oil ports on Canada’s west coast. All financed by China.

Or maybe the worst president will declare himself king and stick around.

He does have that pen and phone, ya know.

Yes. Let me explain Keystone.

Energy, in this case oil, is the lifeblood of an economy and a nation. Without it, we go back 100 years.

Canada wants to pump 650,000 B/D into the US. In return, Canada is willing to accept little bits of paper, or more likely, entries in an electronic ledger denominated in US dollars. Electrons cost even less than bits of paper.

Explain to me how this is a bad deal for the USA?

Actually the pipeline to Kitimat has been green lighted. Canada actually needs both pipelines to exploit the largest deposit of recoverable oil in the world.

A pipeline east to Churchill, Manitoba would open up Europe and Eastern North America. They would have to assure ice free passage year round to make that work.
