Keystone XL Fails to Pass Senate 59 - 41

[tinydancer]

Still trying to figure out who benefits from this potentially harmful pipeline being built. It goes to refineries in the south that already have the nickname cancer alley , and has a possibility of rupturing similar to what happened in Plymouth Arkansas except on a much larger scale. Eminent domain, which used to be used only for the public good, has been enforced on unwilling landowners. From what I've read, the end product goes on the world market anyway, so it's not likely to benefit America, a country more and more becoming an extractive economy similar to a third world country. Export resources, import manufactured goods formerly made by Americans. An export, extractive economy provides few well paid jobs but does benefit a few wealthy ones at the top. This is where America is headed.

Potentially harmful pipeline? Where the **** where you when all these were being built?

You need pipelines. Deal with it.

You are a duped Repubtard!

Obama is not running for any office therefore he needs no cover for any action he takes. US Oil production declined over the past 40 years because of Republicans. Obama is the first president to increase US oil production in over 40 years.

Keystone phase 1, 2 & 3 were built under Obama's administration. Obama is an all of the above pro US energy president. Obama did not issue a veto threat when the House passed its own pro-Keystone legislation. The White House currently has no plans to roll out a veto threat for the Senate's pro-pipeline legislation.

More jobs are created every month under Obama than all the Keystone pipeline & US oil production boom created.

Keystone was approved in 2008 by the Bush Administration....Barry the Fairy couldn't block it.....He's tried everything in the book to stop fracking but he can't because it's on private land. He's shut down every exploration project he can...including the ANWR 1001.....all this makes you a liar.

You are the lying idiot duped Repubtard! Low gas prices never happen under Republican gas bag presidents. Obama has made it happen.

Obama has lowered Gas Prices, unlike the Republicans who raised them over the past 40 years.

- Republicans presidents Nixion & Ford enacted price controls to killed US oil production in the 1970's.

- Republicans president Ford enacted export ban to killed US oil production in the 1970's.

- Republicans presidents Nixion created the EPA to killed US oil production in the 1970's. Us oil production has declined under every Republican president since.

- Bush signed EO12777 banning US oil & gas drilling.

- Horizontal multi-well pad fracking setback borders were removed under Obama, cutting cost & boosting US oil production for the first time in 40 years.

- Obama has fast tracked Keystone oil pipelines. Keystone pipeline Phases 1, 2, & 3 have been built under Obama, not Republicans.

- Obama lifted the export ban to boost US oil production & lower prices.

- The Obama administration and the Environmental Protection Agency phased out the rubber boots on gas pump handles that used to capture gasoline vapors while refueling cars. That move saved consumers and businesses $6 billion at the pump.

- The Obama administration & Saudi's are using oil price as a weapon against Iran, Syria, ISIS & Russia. Way to go Obama! $50 oil & $1 gas coming soon.

- 60% in Republican Texas town that is the birthplace of fracking & has been supported by fracking just voted to ban it by a landslide.

Yeah yeah, that's why the people voted them out the House FIRST and then the Senate. they were doing such a bang up job

Michael E. Kraft, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Political Science and Public and Environmental Affairs at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, stated in his Sep. 18, 2011 article, "Pipeline Could Lead to Economic Disaster,"
available at News-JournalOnline.com Daytona Beach news sports weather and classifieds The News Journal Daytona Beach FL

"While importing oil from Canada is arguably better than getting it from the Middle East, there are two major problems with this option...

Such pipelines have a heightened risk of oil spills due to the corrosive nature of tar-sands oil. The pipeline also would cross the shallow Ogallala Aquifer in Nebraska, one of the largest sources of fresh water in the world and vital for the region's $20 billion agricultural operations...

Similar to the last poster, no answers to my question because you're only capable of snide remarks.

We can create 2,000 jobs improving our infrastructure. We can create 2,000 jobs developing renewable, clean energies.

We already are creating far more renewable clean energy jobs.

Over 5,000 construction jobs & over 500 permanent jobs

Looks like that investment is paying off... 500 permanent jobs is better than 35, for transporting foreign oil off to foreign countries.

The irony of proving my comments by proving yours incorrect!

If you are correct then show where the "Left" said we can't make a refinery closer to the oil source........that's the point.

I'm sure you can make 101 posts about the Left wanting alternative energy, because to not make them would be ignorance.

But let's see one that attacks the issue at hand. You stated the Left wouldn't allow oil refineries near Canada and that's why it has to go all the way through the nation to Texas.............basic ignorance......

It's topic time. Go ahead. Show your links.

There's already an oil refinery near Canada.

The reason why they want to send that tar sand to Texas is that Texas will give them a huge tax break with very little regulations or oversight.

So after the pipeline is built, if it is built, do the jobs go away?

not all of them, but that is what construction jobs are.... building that "infrastructure" you libs like to wail about . They come in build it and go onto the next job. If they build a building for say, Sears. do they stay on and run it?. Sheesh

You twit, building a pipeline to carry nasty sludge does not improve our infrastructure. Repairing bridges improves our infrastructure.

Nasty sludge? It's heavy crude asshole. Just like you get from Venezuela.

AND whether it's a pipeline that carries the crude or rail or truck the crude is getting shipped to the coast.

Pick your poison. Canada is your largest oil supplier. It's coming no matter what you ******* idiots do to try to block it.

January is coming.

And with it the opportunity to force Our Kenyan President to veto Keystone and drive one more nail in the coffin of any Democrat being elected to any national office in 2016.

Yes, for he certainly wouldn't want any of this to happen:

Senator Joe Manchin also responded to the vote. "I am deeply disappointed that the Senate failed to pass the Keystone XL pipeline," he said.

"We have everything to gain by building this pipeline, especially since it would help create thousands of jobs right here at home.

Keystone XL is expected to create 20,000 direct jobs during construction and 118,000 indirect and spinoff jobs.

With well over 1,000 American businesses already supplying goods and services to pipeline companies, the ripple effects of these projects would continue to boost economic prosperity and create more employment opportunities in other industries.

Every state - including West Virginia - would benefit economically from this activity." Manchin continued, "building the Keystone XL pipeline would not only create jobs, but it would limit our dependence on foreign oil. Energy security is often discussed, but the benefits of Keystone are much more than simple generalizations. The global supply of energy relies on oil producers in deeply unstable regions, and the Keystone pipeline would help stabilize global supply while also benefiting Americans and our allies.

^Big Oil has a way of brainwashing poor people into thinking gas will get lower if they just get their way. Just like Corporations have a way of convincing poor people they will get paid more if they just allow Corporations to get paid more.

Today, the Oil Corporations and ALL Corporations have record high profits while the American people have record low wages. But this can't happen unless the rich convince the "low educated" poor to fight for their own poverty.

You are something else. telling everyone in this country they don't know a frikken thing about anything. You're the brainwashed. BIG OIL!!!!!! as you sit on a computer that oil was used in making it. idiots all of you SHEEP

Oh bite me. For crying out loud you aren't going to get off fossil fuels any time soon.

You use 18 million barrels of oil a day.

Now you have that Ivanpah solar panel farm project that you allowed to be built in the middle of the Mojave destroying acres upon acres of pristine desert land and frying birds out of the sky not being able to produce the projected energy.

Check it out. They're only at one quarter production and they are having to go back to the government for more money.
