Welcome to Gaia! ::

In the hearing of the rejection of the keystone pipeline, it came out that the pipeline would be delayed until after the election in november. A delibrate atempt to blaim big oil . Obama has released oil drilling permits in the gulf. Theese are the same big oil companies. A doubble standard for the president. Obama has had deficits over 1 trillion dollars for the last 3 years.
Yes it's a double standard in a way. Be nice if more permits were rejected for such destructive practices until the companies shape up and move into the future. Love how you randomly threw in the deficit as if it had anything to do with the other sentences in that paragraph.
TransCanada Corp can take the pipeline and shove it somewhere painful.

The president is taking 20,000 jobs and shoving them up his *** ****!
I guess the president is one. He is taking up where Bill Clinton left off.

Yeah, it creates jobs. Know what else would? Employing people to build a Marker. Making jobs should not be our only guiding star, since Keystone XL has the potential to be ecologically devastating for millions of American people, and for what? So oil companies can get richer. I'd rather we employ Americans on green energy, thanks.
it would make jobs for a lot of people thats why Obama dose not want it.

Yeah, right.

Quote:
» The industry’s US jobs claims are linked to a $7 billion KXL project budget.
However, the budget for KXL that will have a bearing on US jobs figures is
dramatically lower—only around $3 to $4 billion. A lower project budget means
fewer jobs.

» The project will create no more than 2,500-4,650 temporary direct construction
jobs for two years, according to TransCanada’s own data supplied to the State
Department.


» The company’s claim that KXL will create 20,000 direct construction and
manufacturing jobs in the U.S is not substantiated.


» There is strong evidence to suggest that a large portion of the primary material
input for KXL—steel pipe—will not even be produced in the United States. A
substantial amount of pipe has already been manufactured in advance of pipeline
permit issuance.

» The industry’s claim that KXL will create 119,000 total jobs (direct, indirect, and
induced) is based on a flawed and poorly documented study commissioned by
TransCanada (The Perryman Group study). Perryman wrongly includes over $1
billion in spending and over 10,000 person-years of employment for a section
of the Keystone project in Kansas and Oklahoma that is not part of KXL and has
already been built.


» KXL will not be a major source of US jobs, nor will it play any substantial role at
all in putting Americans back to work. Even if the Perryman figures were accurate,
and all of the workers for the next phase of the project were hired immediately, the
US seasonally adjusted unemployment rate would remain at 9.1%—exactly where it
is now.

» KXL will divert Tar Sands oil now supplying Midwest refineries, so it can be sold at
higher prices to the Gulf Coast and export markets. As a result, consumers in the
Midwest could be paying 10 to 20 cents more per gallon for gasoline and diesel
fuel. These additional costs (estimated to total $2–4 billion) will suppress other
spending and will therefore cost jobs.


» Pipeline spills incur costs and therefore kill jobs. Clean-up operations and permanent
pipeline spill damage will divert public and private funds away from productive
economic activity. In 2010 US pipeline spills and explosions killed 22 people, released
over 170,000 barrels of petroleum into the environment, and caused $1 billion dollars
worth of damage in the United States.


» Rising carbon emissions and other pollutants from the heavy crude transported
by Keystone XL will also incur increased health care costs. Emissions also increase
both the risk and costs of further climate instability.

» By helping to lock in US dependence on fossil fuels, Keystone XL will impede
progress toward green and sustainable economic renewal and will have a chilling
effect on green investments and green jobs creation. The green economy has
already generated 2.7 million jobs in the US and could generate many more.
Obama refuses to agree to the pipeline until after the election acording to a subcomitie meeting. scream

Utility, presumably. Liquid oil is much more productive than oil sands which are dirty and inefficient. More bang for the buck. I don't like that he did it, and I don't think that it's a good idea. The POTUS isn't the greenest candidate, so I fail to see how that makes me a "dumb dumb."

Actually no, they are not going to the same refinery. Tar sands oil requires a different refining method that is far, far more ecologically damaging. That's the whole point of the debate over this thing.
