Give your head a slap if you think that's his purpose....
OF COURSE IT'S NOT. IT NEVER IS. EVEN THE ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT IS BASED ON CREATING A NEW MONEY STREAM FOR CORPORATOCRACY, DONCHA KNOW! That's what Al Gore was all about... and he got a Nobel Prize for his big fat lie, as did Obama for his, that war is peace and peace is war!
Interesting to me, what is below.... because my own father worked as District Passenger Agent for Great Northern Railway, which became Burlington Northern .... and now BNSF.... out of Winnipeg. My dad didn't have anything to do with freight trains, but he was proud of what the company did, way back when. He explained to me that Winnipeg was a rail hub of immense proportions (still is) and that while the passenger movement north and south was not that huge (they ran one line from Winnipeg to Minneapolis-St.Paul MN, that was it) the rail movement was humungous.... and still is.
In fact.... the line is extending NORTHWARD NOW.... the northern end of the TTC (Trans-Texas Corridor) which incorporates fuel, rail, and road transportation, leads to Winnipeg as well as to the eastern link, Toronto, via Fort Erie. Since they are now opening the Northwest Passage (Thanks to HAARP melting the ice floes) they are dredging out Churchill harbor for much heavier ships, creating a deep sea port.
NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS. THERE IS A REASON FOR EVERYTHING. Here, it's Warren Bleeping Buffett...
(The more things change, the more they stay the same.)
It’s ECO-PROFITEERING.
I think that term accurately represents the “Eco” movement.
Every time I use that term when arguing with leftists, they shudder with fear that I nailed it right on the head. Usually they storm off and refuse to debate. So much for “dialog”. It puts them in their place quickly.
Buffet only needs a few more years to recoup his investment in BNSF and will sell the company at a huge profit.
I expect this in the next year or so.
Then, Obama will approve the Keystone XL.
The only grass Obama walks on is at a golf course or spilled on the carpet.
Obama loves Obama.
The only thing Obama loves is himself...
Someone uncovered a pipeline from Canada that feed Chicago and I think their is a small refinery in southern IL. and it essentially allows that region to have somewhat cheaper fuel. I am not sure if Buffet has his hands in this.
Does anyone remember this, or am I way off here?
A U.S. government agency is investigating an oil leak of about 1,200 barrels (190,000 litres) that seeped out of an Enbridge pipeline in Wisconsin, which was delivering Canadian crude to Chicago-area refineries.

Obama is against anything that’s good for the Unites States and he support everything that’s bad for us.
History has shown this.If only the blind would see.
Big money runs everything. And folks are suprised?
Buffet buys and holds
I think the blame of Buffet due to owning the BNSF is a little overblown, he may be opposed for other reasons, but BNSF is a common carrier, thus carries any and everything. Building the pipeline will reduce the number of cars of oil, but I have heard that there is at least seasonally a shortage of transport out of that area for grain. BNSF was profitable before the boom from Bakken, will be profitable after the building of a pipeline.
While I have no doubt dome of this is true, the claim that the cost is $30 a barrel to transport by rail seems way too high.
The guy who sends Air Force One to pick up his dog? Him?
If the rail gets $30/bbl then Buffett will make zero today. At $50 oil no one can pump for sub $20/bbl. The math on this is way off.
There is one of many reasons obama is against Keystone, it is good for the economy, he wants the economy destroyed, it is hanging on despite his efforts, but now he has full control with ODR party behind him (Obama’s Dino Rino) Party established officially on 1/6/15!
The Dino Rino Party will put on a good show of battle designed for public consumption and like the WWE the winners have already been determined, the losers will always be “We The People” known as the bad guys in this grand smoking mirrors dog and pony show.
Nope. He’s against it because the GOP is for it.
The existing pipeline runs to Illinois to fund the Chicago Mob.
He doesn’t want the new route which would bypass his money launderers.
