On another note, this little nugget was in the news today and it is also on wikipedia:
However, in 2011 it was reported that the U.S., for the first time since 1949, had become a net fuel exporter, and fuels (including gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel) were the top export. This leads many to question the validity of the energy security argument, since it seems that additional Alberta tar sands oil processed in the Gulf region is likely to be exported to foreign nations with ease through the Gulf of Mexico. As stated in a USA Today article, "...analysts say those [overseas fuel] sales are likely generating higher profits per gallon than they would have generated in the U.S. Otherwise, they wouldn't occur."
We don't seem to need Canada's oil so why are the Republicans so eager to get it?
The poster is one of those that thinks he has the right to petition government to take it from them at the point of a gun.#1 you aren't footing the bill for the pipeline. Our west coast ports aren't iced in ever. You guys look so stupid in this thread it's really funny.
And we will be selling to China. And making mega bucks.
Who's we? The profits made by a few are not necessarily a good reason to do a damned thing.
You're right. We should have outlawed the electric light, the computer and the automobile decades ago.
Who are these people who think they have the right to make money?

You do realize that being a net exporter is a good thing don't you? The more we export, the higher the demand for refinery workers and workers in all the ancillary services that go along with the refining and exporting of petroleum.
In other words the more we export the more jobs.
Especially when they re-invest, create jobs and get still richer.On another note, this little nugget was in the news today and it is also on wikipedia:

Some on the left seem to go overboard on their hate for the rich. More exports means more jobs and lower trade deficit. A win-win. Just because some rich guy is probably going to get richer doesn't mean it is necessarily a bad thing.
The only ones getting rich off the proposed pipeline would be Canada and the oil companies which will wind up exporting the oil anyway...On another note, this little nugget was in the news today and it is also on wikipedia:

FYI we've been exporting to China for years.
Precisely...Harper's threat is empty, just more grandstanding to get the gullible red state Ammurrkins to agitate against the best interests of the United States...
