What a disgusting and despicable piece of garbage. Intentionally screwing over the American people and their country for profit and power. Energy prices are unbearable for the American people, and this dirtbag (like Barack Obama) is manipulating them to that point solely for his own profit and gain...
Youve got to hand it to billionaire Tom Steyer. He tells Barack Obama and Harry Reid to jump, and they obediently reply: How high?
Mr. Steyer pulled off the policy coup of the year last week when the White House announced it would place the Keystone XL pipeline in regulatory purgatory for another six months at least. Mr. Steyer has promised $100 million to Democrats to beat back Republicans in the midterm elections this fall, and the campaign funds have already paid off in the scuttling of this $3 billion pipeline project. (Remember when Democrats were pro-infrastructure?) President Obama says we have to determine whether it is in the national interest.
Mr. Steyer protested this week that he is not the Democratic partys version of the Koch brothers, who fund efforts to promote liberty and free enterprise. Mr. Steyer says that there are real distinctions between the Koch brothers and us, because the Kochs personally benefit from their political advocacy, while he is donating to save the planet. Never mind that hes a major investor in solar-energy projects that compete with fossil fuels. Lets just say that Steyer got more than just a lousy T-shirt for his political pay-to-play investment.
But Steyer, like most fanatical greens, really does have an intense hatred of this pipeline and thus a motive that goes beyond any personal gain. To the far left, Keystone has become the symbol of the North American shale-oil-and-gas revolution that is crushing the brief and ill-fated renewable-energy fad. So anything that would efficiently transport these fossil fuels to market is evil.
