Keystone XL May Create Fewer, More Temporary Jobs

Keystone XL May Create Fewer,
More Temporary Jobs Than Previously Estimated

These figures have long been criticized for being inflated and misleading, and a new report the State Department released last week predicts that permanent job gains could be much, much smaller. The report, which also downplays environmental concerns, estimates that the project could support 42,100 jobs over a construction period of one to two years -- with 3,900 jobs in construction itself -- and says that after those jobs are no longer needed, only 35 permanent positions for maintenance and inspections might remain.

We need to get away form fossil fuel and spend more money developing clean energy. XL pipeline will cost us more then it is worth to us. We already get the majority of our oil from Canada so a pipeline is not needed.

We nee to get away form fossil fuel and spend more money is clean energy. XL pipeline will cost us more then it is worth to us. We already get the majority of our oil from Canada so a pipeline is not needed.

Using Obama methodology, the pipeline would save or create 10 million jobs.

Pipelines don't need a huge crew to maintain them.

That's sort of why people build them.

The huge crews come when they inevitably spring a leak.

And then of course they've got to hire talking heads to explain that nobody could EVER have imagined that the pipeline would fail.

Temporary jobs of less than two years and we are back were we started from. Unemployment.

 

[Mr. H.]

Let's just say it will create more jobs than the dozens of failed solar companies that cost taxpayers billions of dollars.

Private jobs that pay taxes instead of government jobs that consume taxes?
You're right, we don't want any of those.

 

[Mr. H.]

The Keystone XL project is one borne of engineering intellect. And it is marketing at its finest.

And those two traits are what define efficiency of commerce.

To stand in the way of such genius is economic suicide.
