Trump is looking to revive the Keystone XL oil pipeline on his first day

[initforme]

How are you going to do that? Nationalize the oil companies? Oil is a global market, and you cannot change that.

Ok then drilling more results in little benefit to citizens. Got it.

Not true. Drilling more drives oil prices down worldwide and allows the US to export more energy than we use. It also employs people. My son left Washington state and commuted to North Dakota to work in the oil fields during the last big oil boom up there. He made over $100K a year working half of the time.

You morons. Trump just threatened a 25% tariff on imported Canadian products. That includes oil. You stupid fucking morons.

 

[Moonglow]

The oil industry has no incentive to drill more to blow a benchmark for their crude that they can make a profit on...

 

[Contumacious]

You morons. Trump just threatened a 25% tariff on imported Canadian products. That includes oil. You stupid fucking morons.

The President determines WHICH product will be subjected to the increased tariff,

Yet if you met this woman on the street, you'd probably never know she was born male.

And?

If "she" was born a male guess what? She is still a male. Yeah, that is science.

 

[SweetTea]

But you watch a youtube video and think you outsmarted the global scientific community.

And yet you can't see the non-science behind many of these same "experts" telling you that a boy can be a girl nor do you recognize that big money drives all research in science and medicine.

Global warming is not an existential threat and if it is, we can't stop it anyway. Believe what you will and spend YOUR money and make people rich if you see fit, but don't expect people in the world that are facing real existential threats to go along.

Maybe you guys can figure out how to make an electric powered nuclear missile. All that carbon the current ones emit is a real issue.

Why did Trump not have the pipeline built when he was president the last time?

He was busy building the border wall.

 

[lennypartiv]

Choices have consequences.

You do get the reason why gasoline is so expensive is because demand is so high, right?

Gas prices were low during Trump's first term.

 

[lennypartiv]

People generally don't seem to understand is that this pipeline is meant for foreign oil companies to sell oil to foreign countries not named the united states.

So you don't like capitalism?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Drilling more drives oil prices down worldwide and allows the US to export more energy than we use.

False. Private companies produce the amount that maximizes their profits, and not a drop more.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

So you don't like capitalism?

Trying to collect that Russian paycheck...

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

You morons. Trump just threatened a 25% tariff on imported Canadian products. That includes oil. You stupid fucking morons.

How do you know it includes oil? You stupid fucking moron!

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

And yet you can't see the non-science behind many of these same "experts" telling you that a boy can be a girl nor do you recognize that big money drives all research in science and medicine.

Irrelevant blather.

You guys never realize your tu quoques cut both ways.

So were you trying to say you are acting like a moron, because you think someone else is?

Because that's what you said.

Nice work.

Drill baby drill. This is what the Dems fear the most- an improving economy. They DO NOT want things to get better.
They want to see the middle and working classes punished for voting for Trump. Meanwhile, optimism will immediately make things better.

The Democrat boot is finally being taken off the throat of the US economy.

I doubt that you will be up to it, but please explain what a pipeline intended to move high price shale oil from Canada to Texas is going to do for the U.S. economy.

The oil isn’t American. it is most likely going to be exported.

So why the obsession?

He didn’t make any exceptions.

Because they have been lied to over and over.

They think it means more oil for the world, which would make their gas cheaper at the pump.

When, in fact, it will do precisely the opposite.

 

[SweetTea]

So were you trying to say you are acting like a moron, because you think someone else is?

What I am saying is that I am smart enough to recognize when I am being fed a load of bull. Evidently, you aren't.

You are not educated enough to make any judgments on climate science. I promise.

So why the obsession?

Why is the shale oil high price? Compared to what?

Does increased supply lower prices?

Jobs would be created by the construction and use of the pipeline.

Likely to be exported? Doesn't the US import oil?

Isn't a North American supply of oil a strategic asset in an unstable world?

The signal that the new administration is pro energy production will spur economic optimism and growth.

Why is the Left obsessed with stopping the pipeline?
