Keystone XL pipeline would only create 35 permanent jobs

And Obama's Green and Renewable fiasco:

US solar power employs more people than oil, coal and gas combined

and,

U.S. Clean Energy Jobs Surpass Fossil Fuel Employment

Solar energy in the US employs more people than traditional coal, gas and oil combined, a report has found, in a revelation that could undermine Donald Trump’s argument that green energy isn’t good for the economy.

The latest report from the US Department of Energy (DOE) reveals solar energy accounts for the largest proportion of employers in the Electric Power Generation sector, with wind energy the third largest, while the coal industries have declined in the past 10 years.

Solar energy employed 374,000 people over the year 2015-2016, making up 43 per cent of the sector’s workforce, while the traditional fossil fuels combined employed 187,117, making up just 22 per cent of the workforce, according to the report.

What's wrong with construction jobs?

Also even if the pipeline itself doesn't add a lot of jobs, it's still jobs.

And they pay better than the Democrats' fast food opportunities, which all got sucked up by illegals anyway.
 
Bloody fools. Trying this bullshit again. Construction jobs are always temporary.

:lol:

Should no project ever be built because the construction jobs are temporary? The stupidity of this so called argument is astounding.

ETA the stats on Keystone Cushing to the Gulf project that was completed while every eco moron was protesting the XL.

Check out the labour stats.

Construction of the Gulf Coast Pipeline Project required:

US$2.3 billion in private sector investment

Six modern pump stations

More than 11 million hours of labor completed by 4,844 workers in the
United States of America
-
Heavy equipment operators, welders, laborers, transportation operators and supervisory personnel (including environment, safety and quality control inspectors)

More than 50 contracts with U.S. manufacturers and companies
building the pipeline and equipment in locations that include: Arkansas, California, Georgia,
Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New
York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Texas

The manufacturing of more than 485 miles of high strength, advanced oil
pipeline
(36 inch diameter); hundreds of large valves; thousands of fittings;
thousands of pieces of equipment used to build transformers, meters, electric
motors, cabling and electrical equipment; and piping assembling and structural
steel for supports

About
2.25 million barrels of new oil storage capacity
at Cushing, Oklahoma.

They were "shovel ready" as Obama described them in 2009. Obama was in office 8 years. They are still shovel ready.

Trump has been in office six months.

And solar is so profitable most solar companies have gone under and the remaining are on the brink.

Less jobs than a busy McDonald fast food restaurant?

I run my electric bike on solar. In my community we see many Tesla's and lots of solar panels on roofs heating swimming pools.

Should no project ever be built because the construction jobs are temporary? The stupidity of this so called argument is astounding.

The Pyramids used lots of labor, and they have had very little full time employment since they were built - in those days they didn't have labor unions, it was all under the Free to Work state of affairs.

Most of that pipeline is already completed. Can you name one report where those jobs had any noticeable effect on employment? What makes you think the last part will? We could add a few jobs by tearing down all our bridges, but that probably isn't a good enough reason to do it.
