Keystone-XL will rank alongside the pyramids in Giza as one of the most ambitious construction projects ever undertaken – if the $7 billion pipeline ever gets built.
The proposed route runs south over 330 miles of southern Canadian soil, clipping the corner of Saskatchewan to reach the border with America, then snakes gently southeast across seven U.S. states, extending another 1,370 miles until it branches off to hit two destinations in the Gulf of Mexico.

It’s already operating in Canada. Their hoping to be linked into the pipeline in the Williston Basin in North Dakota.
Well - hate to post and run - but it’s back to the salt-mine at work. Had a moment while waiting for others to clear telcom problems, now it’s time to finish up and go home.
Americans should ask themselves who would be the loser in that case? This should be a no brainer.
There, fixed it.
This has NOTHING to do with the environment. It has everything to do with a claque of crooked lawyers POSING as "environmentalists" funded by the tax-exempt "charitable" foundations belonging to big investors in existing energy sources. A fraction of the money this project generates could be used to fund actual habitat improvements, which, for the most part, are badly needed in this country.
Why? Because these thieves are wrecking wild-land habitat with their crooked racketeering politics justified with bogus beliefs. I want these thugs hung from the charred remains of the trees they "protected."
Gasoline prices in Chicago jumped in late May when an Enbridge pipeline was shut down to repair a couple leaks. Repairing the pipeline took a few days. For gas prices to come back down took weeks.
No sooner had gas prices dropped to $3.79 a gallon than they shot up again when a BP pipeline sprung a leak in Montana. The experiences of May and July show that without the proposed pipeline from Canada, gasoline prices will be at least 20 cents higher.
So true!
I would posit that most of the "charitable" money contributed to the environmental cause doesn't come from so-called "competitors", but from the "professional left" idle rich: The Gettys, the Rockefellers, the Sulzbergers, the Pritzkers, etc.
I.e., people with lots of money, who never earned a dime. The left's "useful idiots"...
Yep. Plenty of those. And the national debt sure is thirsty lately. Hmmmmmm....
Also, keep out the dirty tar sands oil and save the environment. Another one of his constituencies is addressed.
Like I said, this should be a no brainer, but with no brains in Washington, you never know.
Did you read your own list? Gosh, what is the principal investment of the Gettys and Rockefellers???? Did you go to the link?
The biggest donors to the Natural Resources Defense Council are the Pews (SUNOCO), the W. Alton Jones Foundation (Citgo), and the Rockefeller brothers (Exxon Mobil). The Rockefeller clan started the Environmental Grantmakers' Association and were big in starting the IUCN. The British Royals (BP) and Prince Bernhard (SHELL) were principal actors in starting the WWF and the WWFN. Even the Packard Foundation has nearly a billion tied up in methane hydride investments.
The left's "useful idiots"...
NO, the left are THEIR useful idiots. It is the Democrats who are the party of the extremely wealthy. The reason is simple, socialism is one-stop shopping for controlling markets.
You give these people more credit than I do. I don't think the source of their money has anything to do with the way they decide to piss it away. By and large, we're talking a dumb, pliable "do good" mentality.
The salons of the 21st century are little different from the ones of a century ago, when Kropotkin mulcted millions from the Astors, the Morgans, etc. for the benefit of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.
Sigh, they do know how to hire good lawyers.

May I suggest a little background research into the banking families of Europe.
The Getty gene pool has certainly contributed to the number of morons found in this world.
It’s been demonstrated time and time and time and time again that gas prices go up faster than they come down.
By the way, that was not a BP pipeline that sprung a leak in Montana, that was an ExxonMobil pipeline.
