Republican, Keystone XL earmark is bad for America

[Dot Com]

The tarsands will simply go THROUGH America to be exported, pose a risk to the largest freshwater aquifer in the Western hemisphere, and the job projections have been inflated. Ironically, Fox allowed this to be published:

3. Keystone XL Overstated Number of Jobs to be Created

In 2008, TransCanada’s original permit application to the State Department said the Keystone XL pipeline would create “a peak workforce of approximately 3,500 to 4,200 construction personnel” in temporary jobs building the pipeline.
By 2011, now facing growing opposition to the pipeline, TransCanada had inflated these numbers (using undisclosed formulas) to 20,000. Supporters of the proposal, backed by big oil, have since trumpeted these trumped up numbers.

“We believe the growing questions about the impact of the Keystone XL pipeline on Koch should be resolved before any votes are taken on legislation to promote the construction of the pipeline.”
We make this request so that Committee members can understand whether Koch is positioned to be a “big winner” if the pipeline is approved, as some news accounts have reported.

1. Keystone XL Would Not Reduce Foreign Oil Dependency

The oil to be sent through Keystone XL pipeline was never destined for US markets. In its own presentation to investors about the proposed pipeline extension, TransCanada (the company behind Keystone XL) boasted that most if not all of the extracted and refined oil would be exported --- sold in oversees markets where oil fetches a higher price (and thus turns a higher profit for the company).

Man this thread is worse to the right than when they find out there is no Santa Claus!

Another fun fact :

2. Keystone XL Would Have Increased Domestic Oil Prices

Currently, Canadian oil reserves stored in the Midwest help suppress gas prices in the United States, particularly for farmers in our nation’s heartland.

In its permit application for the pipeline, TransCanada noted that the Keystone XL pipeline would allow the company to drain these reserves and export that fuel as well. According to TransCanada’s own statements, this would raise gas prices in the United States, especially in the Midwest.

It would have also helped transport oil from North Dakota, saving the cost of using trucks and trains, but don't let facts confuse you.

So it would've killed MORE jobs in the xport sector. Thanks for telling me

First of all it is an OPINION article, not a fact based investigation. The article was written by Sally Kohn, a far left radical wingnut. From her self description :

Sally Kohn makes the world safe for radical ideas. As a veteran community organizer turned political commentator, Sally makes complex political issues accessible for everyday audiences. Sally is a grassroots strategist actively engaged in movement building for equality and justice.

Translation- she's a lesbian nut job that believes in "hope and change".

Looky who showed up, the Left Coast, rightie. Hey Zander. The facts are there w/ links in her article. Can you disprove them

There are NO FACTS in the article, only supposition, innuendo, and slander. She's a wingnut, and so are you.

PS- her "links" go to leftloon sites like this one...

[Mr. H.]

That "freshwater aquifer" has been polluted for decades by agriculture.

Pipelines are nothing new, why does this one frighten people so?
Desperate scare tactics from the petrophobes.

This pipeline would alleviate bottlenecked inventories of midwestern US domestic oil.
While some volumes of the Canadian oil might be destined for export, by no means would it all be exported.
Nowhere near it.

Why are lies so easier to grasp than truth?

It's all part of the "hope and change" sloganeering that the leftloon cheerleaders rely upon so often. It worked for Obama....

It is actually going to make BNSF and William Buffet a lot of money, but I am sure that Obama never thought about that.

"some volumes"? Can you be more specific? As to spills, the existing pipeline had 10+ in < year.

we're not talking about a 5-10% inflation of the #'s here fuckhole (your term ). They obscenely inflated the jobs estimates. Also, how will it reduce our need for imported oil if its exported? Normally you're kind of level-headed but your post is not worth negging
