No; you gripe about gas being high. Then you delay pipeline that will ship it far cheaper and safer than train. You want your cake and to eat it too;plain and simple. If left to Obama you would have been sitting in lines at stations long ago. and paying 14.00 a unit for natural gas instead of less then 4 dollars. No wander the economy is bad with people thinking like you.
Show me where I complain about gas prices.
Show me where gas prices have ANYTHING to do with Canadian tar sands.
Show me that you have the faintest notion of what you're attempting to talk about.
No wonder this country is bad with people NOT thinking like you.
In 1 sentence alone, you talk about lines at gas stations and nat gas units.
To borrow one of your terms, things have been "left to Obama", we have some of the highest oil and gas production ever.
Come back when you get a clue. Good luck with that.
I predict he WILL make a decision. Somewhere around.........late September.........maybe early October. After summer so people are paying attention, and with enough time for the news to digest among the unwashed masses, and for those scrambling to hang on to their seats to star in local vote-for-me-me-me commercials prior to the mid-terms.
Or not.
The article says he'll wait until after the elections.
You mean the rush to get tar sands to Asia isn't happening fast enough for you?
All those 'jobs' not being filled?
TransCanada might lose some money?
Whatever will we do?
The oil is being shipped now by rail, a very dangerous way to transport it. A derailment can wipe out blocks and kill many people. But since Obama's pal, Warren Buffet, owns the railroad ... well, you figure it out, if you can.
In the past, Obama has talked about energy independence. Apparently, he doesn't mean it.
We will never not have a need for oil, and lots of it. Oil fuels our industries, and is the base from which we get products including fibers, plastics, and many, many products that we use every day. There is no substitute for oil.
He is intentuionally delaying the decision to save legislators in 2014.
He is employing a standard regulatory agency legal tactic where perpetual pending lawsuits without merit are won by spending endless taxpayer money to outspend defendants finite cash flow.
Obama is not dithering here, though that aptly describes his two terms in office.

So, for you, "energy independence" means depending on a foreign country for oil?

It shows what a POS Obama really is.

It's just like Enron in every way, shape and form.
Enron sunk all that money into building natural gas processing plants in Pakistan and India.....all hinging on completing the CentGas Pipeline through Afghanistan -- Enron had tied up money with Haliburton and another energy service company to form a company to build and maintain the pipeline.
Clinton couldn't get the Taliban to go for it, due to the fact that the Chinese/Brasilian deal shared profits 50-50.
Enron starting cooking its books to hide its losses and everyone knows the rest of the story.
It smells like TransCanada has done the same....bet the farm on getting the pipeline, and they've sunk money into facilities in Asia and they're now a financial disaster waiting to implode.
People with investments in TransCanada should seriously considering dumping them.
For the morons.....this Keystone Pipeline will not lower gasoline prices in the US...not even 1 penny.....but it will increase gasoline prices.
For those who don't get it....start cracking the chemistry books....
White collar professional or service jobs to serve us white collar types is all the US needs .
