I'm not sure I want to see Keystone.....it's not going to create jobs that are more than short term...and these will be farmed out to bids.....and we know how that goes....
The oil will all be shipped over seas.....
We're doing this FOR Canadians.....who will also have their people working it.
I haven't heard one thing how it benefits us.
Re Keystone. With oil down big time, we really need those jobs here in the midwest. It’s supposed to be thousands of jobs and I don’t mind if Canada benefits as well. They’ve been a great ally.
There are piplines running all over the US, why does Obama not want this particular one?
Seriously ... You think they just build a pipeline and all the workers leave and it just sits there? Security and maintenance, just for starters, will employ hundreds.
Have you looked at Google on the Kalamazoo River spill in 2010? It was a break in a 6’ diameter pipe carrying tar sands oil for Enbridge. Was not discovered for 24 hours, and they have already spent $1 billion and it still is not completely clean. Also dozens have lost their lovely homes along the river. I think it created 300 jobs, yeah!! Also, nobody has heard about a mile of pipeline that blew up in the Chinese city of Qingdao killing 62 people in November of 2013. This was just before Biden’s trip to China and it was kept very hush, hush. Instead China changed their sea borders and there was a big media stink involving Japanese and South Korean anger over this change.
Other bad things I have heard a few weeks ago is that Canada is being given eminent domain over American land owners, and the pipeline owners will NOT have to pay into a fund that all the other oil guys do to help pay for accidents and remediation. Does not sound like FR oriented ideals, rather RHINO and Wall Street ideals.
