The fools enjoy plastics, cars, fuel and energy for their homes, but love the idea of supporting Barry and his Mid East brethren.
Lets throw in asphalt for their roads.

Great Americans, all of them excelling in stupidity!!!

Natural gas and water come into the house in pipelines and the sewage goes out in a third.

Time to also take the Anwar Basin in Alaska out of the closet and lift the Fed ban on drilling there.

ConocoPhillips Alaska has announced a new oil discovery in northern Alaska, in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. The discovery could produce more than 300 million barrels (MMBbls) of oil and up to 100,000 barrels per day (BPD) based on initial test results, the company said.

Although 300 MMBO is nothing to sneeze it, it is far smaller than the unconventional reserves discovered in the Lower 48, which total in the billions. To put it into prospective, Prudhoe Bay is around 20 billion barrels.

Good. Screw Warren Buffett, who attempted to legislate the permanence of his wealth by buying a President.

That was the good part of Trump’s pipeline decisions.

The DAPL line is controversial and has caused a controversy with the Obama Administration allowing it to be built betraying their own Leftist base.

Keystone XL is a bigger, better pipeline, that’s why Obama dumped it in favor of DAPL.

He said they will be renegotiating terms and contracts. He also said they will build the pipes here.

He did not state what route the pipeline will take.

The MSM is again putting words into his mouth.

Jobs for Americans of all stripes, it doesn’t even go through their reservation, and minimum environmental impact.

Finally a President with common sense.

There was not a single good reason to shut these projects down. Not one.
