Keystone is over

[Hancock]

There go lots of jobs down the drain.

How many permanent jobs was that?

For the unemployed, temporary work is better than no work.

Woohoo
Just heard on TV.

Your thread title is a complete mischaracterization. of the true state of the keystone pipeline. Just saying

Your question is both pointless and irrelevant. Construction jobs are by there very nature temporary. And that will never change.

It ain't over until the fat lady sings.

TransCanada in September signaled it was shifting its strategy when it dropped state legal challenges and efforts to seize land in Nebraska for the pipeline. Company officials hoped those moves would extend the review process in Washington—perhaps until a potential Republican administration in 2017 would approve the project—while details on the Nebraska portion of the route were worked out.

Now the crude will be transferred into the US by trains and tankers.

At least until the next Republican President.

All 15 of them.

Well unless we further cut our dependency on fossil fuels.

wow until the prezbo is gone

XL is a smidge. Just a small bypass to pick up North Dakota.

Keystone was done a couple of years ago. That's what makes all of this such a laugh to me.

yup

But you are against creating new jobs by building infrastructure?

pipeline is infrastructure

You can ride a unicorn to work.

 

[rightwinger]

I still can't believe how the Republicans botched Keystone

They took a low priority public works project that nobody cared about and turned it into a political showdown with the President

Someone had to win, someone had to lose....Republicans lost

Why would I ride a unicorn to go downstairs?

I work remotely from home. It's pretty sweet.

Without petroleum you'd be sending fucking smoke signals to converse with others instead of using your 286 PC.

Burning Fossil Fuels seems to bit ridiculous. We are mired in old technology for one reason, oil companies have managed to usurp the political process. Energy technology has stagnated for the last century or so.

And people like you support that. You still seem to think that Computer companies are still manufacturing 286 pcs.

We have much faster CPUs now.

Catch up.

I am glad its over. You could NEVER get me to agree with eminent domain for a FOREIGN FOR-PROFIT company.
However, like TD said, it is a fools party.
They have been using Keystone for a couple years now.

 

[rightwinger]

If Republicans had included Keystone in a comprehensive public works bill meant to provide millions of jobs, it would have been approved in a minute

Instead, they used it as a means to have a political showdown with the President....they lost
