Canada pulls the plug on the U.S. Keystone Pipeline – will send oil to Asia

H/T Eric Worrall and Breitbart – Obama’s inability to make a decision on Keystone has finally yielded a result – Canada has made the decision for him.

Breitbart reports Canada has just approved the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project – a major pipeline to ship Canadian oil to Asia.

The Canadian oil will still be burnt – in Asia, instead of America.

All the jobs and energy security which Canadian oil could have delivered to America, will instead be delivered to Asia.

Do the Cloward-Piven bump!

Dear Union thugs.

Please discuss this privately with Herr Obozo and his buddies in congress.

Then, you need to make house calls on the Green Eco Terrorists who cost you jobs and money.

PS: You might try voting against your beloved DemocRATS in the up coming election.

I don’t believe he could be this incompetent. I don’t believe anyone could.

Exactly.

Anyone this incompetent would get it right by accident once in a while.

Oh, he's very competent. It is just that he is not playing for the United States of America.

This seems like a big development. Surprised it’s not getting more coverage.

Is it definite that Canada’s decision to move forward with this other pipeline means there would be no oil for the Keystone XL pipeline? The article makes it sound like building Keystone XL would now be useless. I wonder if that is correct.

already on the Impeach the bastard list!

I hate democrats.

Petroleum usage in the US has been virtually flat for 50 years. Environmentalists dumping their crappy overregulation all over the US isn’t going to help the environment. Pollution is increasing elsewhere.

And again, exactly.

One more way Obama has screwed America.

[rktman]

Well, ya gotta admit that algore made out like the bandit he is buy selling his crappy network to them. How smart were they? The new and improved “current-tv”.

[Digger]

I hate democrats.

The Enemy is Within. I hate all of D.C.

[Real Cynic No More]

Voting present.

Contrary to what you might hear in many conservative media reports, the purpose of the Keystone XL pipeline is to transport oil to the Gulf Coast where it can be processed and exported all over the globe. It was never really intended to serve domestic U.S. needs.

If the U.S. doesn't want to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, then Canada will send the oil to their own coastline for export.

On a related note, I believe a lot of this is hype and nonsense. From what I've seen and heard in the energy sector and government folks in Canada, their ultimate goal is to transport crude oil either directly to Asia via pipeline, or to terminals in Alaska that would serve Canadian, Alaskan and Arctic oil.

Time for the torches and pitchforks.

NOW THIS WOULD BE A PERFECT TIME TO SHUT DOWN THE ENVIRONMENTAL LEFT WING GROUPS!

This confirms that climate change is dead. Not one word from the global warming groups that this is going to kill millions.

Sort of like how all these NOW hags have nothing to say about female genitalia mutilation that happens in Africa.

They are all FRAUDS and need to be taken down.

Another victory for the Obama regime over the evil Americans.

I guess the enviro-greenie protestors won.

Much to the chagrin of the oil pipeline worker unions.

TWO of the constituencies that have largely supported the Current Occupant now squatting in the White Hut are on opposite sides of the dispute over the Keystone XL pipeline.

The Shi’ites are in conflict with the Sunnis. It could get ugly.

“Clean air” is obviously not compatible with full employment and rising productivity.

[MarkL]

It has to be intentional. He has to be trying to destroy this nation. Again, no one could be this incompetent.

It's all a part of his "fundamental transformation." While the government had been sliding into a fascist oligarchy, Obama is trying to transform it into his own vision of paradise for him and his masters. A fascist authoritarian/oligarchical state.
