The U.S. Government has the say about whether or not it happens and can stipulate conditions/terms to allow or deny it.

I was addressing this statement of your, which states very clearly that the U.S. government can impose its own conditions on a permit approval.

So if Barack Obama said that only energy companies that invest millions of dollars in "green energy" would be allowed to build pipelines in the U.S., you'd be OK with that?

I'm talking conditions, in line with protecting American interests, and you're countering with affirmative action (post before this) and telling companies to do things irrelevant to the actual contract/job at hand - now who's going irrelevant?

Tell you what - you see totalitarianism behind every Trump rock and I see patriotism and looking out for the interests of the People.

I'm sticking to my story, you're sticking to yours (no matter how hard you gotta twist things), so let's stop banging our heads against each other since neither of us is going to give in.
