I suppose it is reasonable to conclude that the Obama and his Evil Democrats are guilty of the supreme evil; the TRUTH.
I get so tired of the YAP CLASS blaming anything but peak oil.

Sixstrings wrote:what Obama has been doing are REPUBLICAN polices.
Take the KeystoneXL Pipeline, for example....the DEMOCRAT policy is to block the pipeline and the tens of thousands of jobs it would bring, while Republicans support it.
But some critics of the pipeline are questioning this claim, saying much of the oil could end up as gasoline and diesel fuel exported to Europe and Latin America.
“The oil industry will sell their product where they will get the best price for it, (and) markets for diesel, in particular, are much more profitable abroad,” said Steve Kretzmann of Oil Change International, a clean-energy group opposed to the pipeline. “Those are growing markets. That’s what we base the assertion that this is primarily an export pipeline on.”

Plantagenet wrote:Every bit of oil is already in the "WORLD MARKET". If China wants to go to Alberta or Cushing Oklahoma or Seattle or New York or Texas and buy oil they can do so right now. If the US wants to go to Saudi or Beijing and buy oil we can do that now as well. The Pipeline doesn't change that a bit.
All that Obama and the Democrats do by blocking the US pipeline is destroy US jobs building the pipeline, and destroy the jobs of US workers who would have had high paying jobs at the US refineries.

Even if we get most of that Canadian oil, then the Chinese will just buy the Saudi oil it all washes out Plant.

At a December Congressional hearing, Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA) asked the CEO of pipeline owner TransCanada whether he would agree to keep all refined products from oil sands in the United States. He declined.
Cog wrote:And that is what the green-at-all-costs folks can't stand. They hope by blocking this pipeline that Canada will not be able to expand their oil sands operations.
Cog wrote:In the downslope of global oil depletion, you will be wishing for all the oil that Canada can send down here and more.
