Estimates are the pipeline, from Canada through several U.S. states to the oil refineries on America’s coast, will bring 40,000 new jobs.
Even unions wanted Keystone — but Barack Obama didn’t. Why? His radical environmental friends hated the thought of land being disturbed.
And Native Americans hopped aboard the anti-Keystone train in recent months, as well.
The project isn’t shovel ready just yet; several activists have petitioned Nebraska’s public service commission for the right to sue. State law requires they show a personal effect from the pipeline — a personal reason why the pipeline’s construction will impact their lives, their properties, their businesses.
As Fox Business reports:
“Opponents asked the Nebraska Public Service Commission Wednesday to let them intervene in the case, allowing them to file legal briefs, cross-examine witnesses and present formal arguments alongside pipeline developer TransCanada’s attorneys.
“Nebraska requires residents to show a ‘substantial legal interest’ in a project before they can intervene. Commission Chairman Tim Schram will decide who qualifies at a later date. …
“Members of the Public Service Commission generally take about seven months to approve or deny an application, but they can postpone a decision for up to a year. Their decision hinges on whether they believe the project serves a public interest, based on evidence presented at a public hearing. Four of the commission’s five members are Republicans.”
But it’s just a matter of time before their cause will crumble.
Trump’s signed, the State Department’s on board and businesses are readying to start the hiring.
Again, from Fox Business:
“According to a 2014 report by the U.S. State Department, Keystone XL would support about 42,100 jobs, including about 3,900 workers directly involved in construction. Workers, including those indirectly supported by the pipeline, would earn about $2 billion.”
Americans aren’t about to lose out on this business opportunity.

Hamburg, Germany — another attack: Muslim migrant from Afghanistan smashes a 59-year old cyclist with a hammer:

Police immediately claim that migrant has mental issues… the usual lame excuse.

This reminds me of the increasing problem with the blacks ambushing people on trails and remote places in this country. Colin Flaherty talks about it on you tube “don’t make the black kids angry”. I know a lot of blacks are converting to muslamic so they will only be emboldened. Here is an article “don’t make the muslims angry”.

You can bet that environmental obstructionists, allied with Native American leftists, will drag this thing into court because that is all they have …
Here is irony. Three years ago as the oil boom was winding down, the 17th most oil-productive nation in the world was … get this … the MHA (Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikaree) nation in North Dakota!
Not all Native Americans oppose the Keystone or Dakota Access pipelines …

I’m not surprised. What pathetic hypocrites! And Native Americans are also the biggest congregation of women abusers, killers and criminals in the whole country. Just check their crime stats.

I wonder how many are there hoping for some sort of pay out so they can open up their own casinos and motel chains.

This will also keep gas prices down and lower our dependency on foreign oil.

There are about 2.5 million miles of petroleum pipelines in the USA. They don’t give much trouble. The alternative is trucks and trains and those cause a lot of problems.

The pipe is good. Unfortunately, he and Paul Ryan phukked us on health care. Pathetic bunch of idiots.
Send a letter (email) to Paul Ryan, Trump, Rand Paul, etc demanding the following. This is not hard:
Pass a bill, independent from Obamacare with the following
provisions:
1 – Repeal ACA individual and corporate mandates.
2 – Insurance can be purchased across state lines, even from other
nations.
3 – Medical providers required to post typical prices online so we can shop
around.
4 – Mandate that insurers offer catastrophic coverage plans for all
Americans with the singular goal of driving down monthly premiums. Premiums
shall be offered at different levels based on deductible and based on maximum
annual payout for care after the deductible. Pre-existing conditions can be
denied coverage for 3 months after initial sign-up. Only medically necessary
procedures will be covered. No mental health care, addiction treatment,
elective plastic surgery, etc unless you pay a higher premium.
No IRS, no subsidies, no tax credits, no HSAs, no FSAs, just dirt cheap
“financial ruin” insurance.
5 – Those who prefer expensive Obamacare policies with subidies, etc, can
continue with those plans; but not one cent of premiums from this parallel plan
may be used to support Obamacare.

Good, now deal decisively and severely with the phoney environmentalists and even more phoney indigenous peoples who have no interest other than civil disobedience and criminal activities.

My understanding is some of the pipe is already built in Canada
It will be used first, then USA pipe as required
Final details will be negotiated
Would or could be something like this
Pipe failure on USA land, USA steel, USA problem
And vice versa regarding Canada
These are just rumors from news pundits

The thing with employment statistics is that its a mass figure. If you were out of work you were 100% unemployed and if you got a job with this project you are now 100% employed. Mass statistics do nothing to talk about that difference in people’s lifes.

I would expect the pipelines are safer and more environmentally friendly than trains, which were the alternative being used in my old city, passing through heavily populated areas.

To show how neurotic the environmentalists can be, Obhammud agonized over authorizing a strategic airstrike in Afghanistan out of an overabundance of concern for the air pollution the rising smoke would cause.
