Depends on the property layout the pipeline will cross.Perhaps, do you think they should be forced to sell at the oil company's price by the government?The locals are only stalling so they can be offered more money for the right of way to cross their property. I've seen this done time after time in the oilfield..Shove your conspiracy theories, some of the locals do not want this thing crossing their property and have it tied up in court. Republicans want to use the power of the federal government to force them to grant an easement because the Big Oil lobbyists have been hammering them relentlessly. That's all there is to it.then it is time to make a few more refineries
which = more jobs
Again, that would be up to Big Oil. That's who builds refineries. They haven't added any in something like four decades. And if you think the current market needs more supply, have a second career in mind because you won't be in business long.
I act like it's a totally misrepresented political smokescreen that hides what this is at it's heart: Big Oil vs. local landowners, environmentalists and state politicians. Damned if you property rights big government hating assholes aren't fighting on the side of big government and imminent domain seizure of private land. How fucked up is that?the leftists act like keystone is the only oil pipeline in the frikkin west
Well aren't all the anti Keystone people just a tad late to the party?
Where was everyone in the past? Where was everyone just a couple of years ago when the Alberta Clipper and Southern Lights was approved by the US government? Or for all the other legs of the Keystone that is now complete?
Or for all of these pipelines? Why only the XL?
Could it be that a major donor called Warren Buffet has been making a killing with his rail lines carrying the crude to refineries because of the block on the XL by Democrats?
Could it be that Democrats received millions in donations from Steyer and stand in line to get more in 2016 by trying to block the Keystone?
Could it be that the enviro whackos receive heavy funding from the likes of the Ford Foundation? By the way there's an investigation into US foundations like Tides helping pay for stunts like Neil Young on stage with a rent a chief from the Athabasca region during an anti Keystone concert.
There's big money in this for the *cough* concerned environmental groups.
Where were they for all of these? No money I guess for Democrats or enviro whackos.
