Without KXL, Canadian oil does not get to China. I suppose Canada could build the pipeline in their own country and maybe they ought to.
What's the benefit to us in that?
I can't comprehend why (even if the lie were true) we'd resist oil traversing our country and shipping from our port facilities. That's great employment, bringing in money from ELSEWHERE.
Some people resist prosperity like it was the plague, and then complain about being poor.
Well fortunately the lobby backed Keystone Pipeline failed but they will try and try again to get it passed like whining spoiled brats.
So, for those all for the Keystone Pipeline.
When it gets passed, will you side with BIG GOVERNMENT or side with the Sovereign Rosebud Sioux Tribe and their rights to their land?
That is an option -- ship the oil more dangerously to China where China can cause more pollution than refining it.
The Obreezey position is: that the oil should make Chinese companies more money rather than US oil refineries at the expense of the environment.
More pollution and less American jobs! Obama should reconsider his global warming message. Obama talks about insourcing while begging Canada to make China wealthier instead of us.

Ya 50 permanent jobs is a real economic booster for this country. There is good arguments for the pipeline but being a job creator isn't one of them
Come on now, I think you're smarter than that. It's over 1000 miles of pipeline, with multiple pumping stations. And it runs 24/7. Do you really believe that 50 people will be enough to operate, maintain and secure over 1000 miles of pipeline? Let alone the workers at refineries and shipping terminals at the southern end. Like I said, I think you're smarter than that. If not....well, I have $16 million in a Nigerian bank, I'll split it with you if you just give me your bank account info.
Once the proposed Project enters service, operations
would require approximately 50 total employees in the
United States: 35 permanent employees and 15
temporary contractors.
I predict, given the security implications of trains and pipelines in this "home grown" terrorism world of today, that there will be more than 50 security guards driving along that line in pick-up trucks alone, never mind the guys maintaining the line and it's pumping stations. .
Why? None of the other pipelines have this level of security.
