Obama Nixes Pipeline -

Just weird...

Nothing weird about it! Barry Hussein promised when he ran for office that he was going to destroy the coal and petroleum industry in the USA. So far, he's not doing a very good job - but not for lack of trying. :evil:
 
He wants us to all walk, ride the bus or bikes, scooters and motorcycles or drive those little electric cars. He vowed to raise gas over $5/gallon to discourage usage.
How are rural people supposed to comply?

Expeditiously.
 
What we need to do is
-Look into thermal power and using the heat of our planet to generate electricy. No reason not too.
-Double or triple wind power
-Solar is going down so consumers can buy this to take some of the slick off the grid
-Should look into wave????
-Develop new methods of nuclear.

There's many ways to generate energy. Some of this can be successful and good for our society.
 
Obama didn't veto Keystone out of any lofty environmental concern.

He did it so his rich buddies could profit.

Billionaire Buffett's Bakken Boom - Investors.com

Energy Policy: Killing the Keystone XL pipeline may help one of the world's richest men get richer. North Dakota's booming oil fields will now grow more dependent on a railroad the president's economic guru just bought.
Stop us if you see a pattern here. About the time George Soros — Hungarian billionaire and key donor to leftist groups and the Democratic Party — invested heavily in the stock of the state-run Brazilian oil company Petrobras, President Obama was curbing U.S. offshore oil production and the U.S. Export-Import Bank announced a $2 billion loan to Petrobras to finance deep-water drilling off the pristine beaches of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
As he was imposing curbs and moratoria on U.S. offshore drillers, President Obama wished the Brazilians well in the hope we would someday be Brazil's best oil customer.
Apparently, oil tankers coming from Brazil are better and safer than a pipeline from Canada, whose best customer we will not be if they ship their tar sands oil to China instead.
Interestingly, another billionaire, Obama economic inspiration Warren Buffett, stands to benefit from the Keystone XL pipeline delay.
As oil production ramps up in the Bakken fields of North Dakota, plans to use the pipeline to transport it have been dashed.
As a result, North Dakota's booming oil producers will have to rely even more on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad, which Buffett just bought, to ship it to refineries.
Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has agreed to buy Burlington Northern Santa Fe in a deal valuing the railroad at $34 billion. Berkshire Hathaway already owns about 22% of Burlington Northern, and will pay $100 a share in cash and stock for the rest of the company.

The pipeline has nothing in the world to do with that. What's in the pipeline doesn't go to your local Shell; it goes to refineries in Houston, conveniently located on the Gulf of Mexico, where it can then be shipped to its markets in China and India. They just want a faster method of getting it there.

Now how does that affect rural people's gas prices?
