Trump signs five more orders on pipelines, steel and environment
USA Today via WFAA ^ | 01/24/2017 | Gregory Korte

President Trump signed five more executive actions Tuesday in a blitz of executive power meant to speed approvals of high-profile energy projects like the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines.

In reversing the Obama administration policy to disapprove the Keystone pipeline, Trump emphasized that the construction isn't a done deal. "It's something that subject to a renegotiation of terms by us," he said. "We'll see if we can get the pipeline built. A lot of jobs, 28,000 jobs."

Keystone XL is a proposed 1,179-mile cross-border pipeline from Alberta to Nebraska that became a lightning rod for Obama's energy policy, with the administration taking seven years to make a decision before ultimately killing it over environmental concerns.

The greatest job creator will be this project:

We may not have enough technical personnel to finish this project and may require selective immigration where applicants are required to show technical expertise before entry into the US. (Being a muzzie refugee is not an acceptable qualification for a visa)

Dont know what steel plant will get that, most likely the best bidder, but, I do know that the iron ore will come from the Iron Range-MN and the UP of Michigan. Those mines have been devestated by Obastards shenanigans.

Trump is really dragging his feet on his promises. Such a lazy guy. /s

OK. Maybe I'm spoiled by all the winning, but I am not tired of it yet.

The Empire and Tilden mines near Negaunee and Ishpeming Michigan.

They shut one down last summer because of enviro and market conditions. About a thousand workers.

Regulations and glacial approval processes were Obama's way of punishing businesses. He hated free enterprise.

"Punishment by process."

Adding to my previous reply...

The article said

“...Then he signed a separate action requiring that the steel used in the pipelines be made in the United States. “Going to put a lot of workers, a lot of steelworkers, back to work,” he said. ...”

Just. Awesome.

A bit off topic, but maybe not- I got a notice that a new Twitter page was added for The National Parks Service- who are banned from posting.

They are using the name @AltUSNatParkService and posting climate globull warming crap and claiming their new Twitter page isn’t taxpayer funded so they can say what they want.

BUT they are using the Park Service logo and probably other Park Service info/pics as well. They have about 250K followers.

Trump should fire them all because this is like a religion to these Loonies! You just have to cut them out like you would cancer....
