[/The construction of the Keystone XL pipeline will raise oil prices for Midwestern Americans. In official analysis provided to the Canadian National Energy Board, TransCanada reveals that the Keystone XL pipeline will raise oil prices throughout the Midwest and increase annual revenue to the Canadian tar sands industry in 2013 to the tune of between US $2 – $3.9 billion.1American families should not be forced to pay higher prices at the pump only to the line the pockets of the oil industry.

About Keystone XL:

•The Keystone XL pipeline is a 2,000 mile pipeline that would transport crude oil derived from Canadian tar sands from Alberta to Texas.
•The pipeline will raise gas and diesel prices in the Midwest, where they are already among the highest in the country. It is estimated that the added cost of the pipeline would be roughly equal to 15 cents per gallon, driving up the cost of living for families at a time when Americans can least afford it.
•The total drain on America’s economy and pocket books could total as much as $3.9 billion annually in 2013, according to what TransCanada told Canada’s National Energy Board.
•Any jobs created will be offset by the higher price of gas and the layoffs that result from the higher cost of doing business. Further, they will be temporary and may not go to local residents, or even Americans.
•TransCanada will generate billions of dollars in profits at the expense of American consumers, and that money will go back to Canada, deepening the U.S. deficit.
•The pipeline will facilitate Canadian crude oil exports to China, not the United States. The market for Canadian crude oil in the Gulf is small. Americans wouldn’t benefit from the crude oil piped in through the Keystone XL.

Bullshit. Nothing will drive up the cost of Oil faster than Shortages. This Administration could not act more irresponsibly if it tried. It obstructs Exploration and Development, driving up the costs, it profits from the increased taxation directly related to the increase in cost of unit, at every stage of development and distribution, it manipulates truth and fact to serve it's own purpose, and you buy into the crap hook, line, and sinker. Don't expect the rest of us to. Idiots.

Straight out of The Ministry Of Truth. :D
 
We've been through this before. Another poster discussed the Alberta Clipper Pipeline which Obama opposed for just about the same reasons. He finally gave support and permitted it to go through. He didn't "walk the walk" then, he won;t now. Stop depending on the president.

U.S. approves Alberta Clipper oil pipeline

"By approving this pipeline, we are committing to another generation of dependence not only on fossil fuels but on the dirtiest, most greenhouse-gas-emitting fossil fuels," said Sarah Burt, an attorney for Earthjustice, The Washington Post reported. "We thought that the Obama administration would walk the walk on this, but it appears that that's not happening."

Is that any different from the politicians and such that support the pipeline?
 
The construction of the Keystone XL pipeline will raise oil prices for Midwestern Americans

They give not a shred of evidence or even a rational argument. They just state it as fact. It's a logical fallacy called "begging the question."
 
Long term, oil sands development will spur 93,000 jobs per year in the United States, according the Canadian Consulate. Plus, all that economic stimulus comes from private financing, not American taxpayers. If we default on the Keystone XL Pipeline now, we are giving a wide open year for the Chinese to come back to Canada, make those investments, tie down that oil, and encourage that pipeline to go -- not to Houston, Texas or Louisiana-- but to Vancouver, Canada, and then on ships to China.

What utter horseshit. How could additional supplies of oil possibly drive up the price? How could a cheaper method of transporting oil drive up the price? The imbeciles who wrote your article don't know the slightest thing about economics or the oil business. They are just cheap, lying propagandists.

You mean is obvious communist propaganda different from politicians who act sensibly based on the facts?

but the study came from the Canadian Oil company that would build the pipeline.

The nubers cane fron the Canadian Company that would buil the pipeline. Did you read the story? I'm guessing you don't know how oil markets work.
 
An objective web site called 'dirty oil'?

Next you will tell us that Dan Quayle has his own spell checking web site.

Hilarious.
