Obama’s inability to make a decision on Keystone has finally yielded a result – Canada has made the decision for him.
Breitbart reports Canada has just approved the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project – a major pipeline to ship Canadian oil to Asia.
The Canadian oil will still be burnt – in Asia, instead of America.
All the jobs and energy security which Canadian oil could have delivered to America, will instead be delivered to Asia.
Rather than purchasing crude from a friendly and allied neighbor, the United States will most likely need to continue its reliance upon hostile sources like Venezuela. Energy analysts had hoped that construction of Keystone could have replaced almost half of the current U.S. daily crude purchases from that volatile, anti-American dictatorship, depriving Venezuela of the resources it relies upon to stay in power and fund its Cuban allies.
You can’t say Canada didn’t give America a chance – they waited years for the American administration to come to their senses. But in the end, they couldn’t wait any longer, and have put the interests of Canadians first.
Eva, how in the world did you post seven times? Zer0 must have you in such rage, your mouse is taking a beating. I am thinking, why use the mouse? Where is the flush button on this clown?
I'm sure he/she was joking with you, but, most people apologize when they multi-post.
No longer the Keystone Pipeline Instead THE WARREN BUFFETT PAYOFF.
Canada pulls the plug on the U.S. Keystone Pipeline

Completely false claim. The Keystone XL pipeline is still approved by the Canadian government and they want it approved by the US.
The Northern Gateway Pipeline is not a replacement for the Keystone XL. Both projects have been in the approval cycle for years. Both have commitments to move crude oil/bitumen/dilbit by companies.
This is not an either/or project replacement. It is an additional project and both need to be completed.
No matter what happens with the Keystone Pipeline, we can all thank odumbo for the high gas prices of today and the future. His policies have to be removed when/if we get a “real American” for POTUS.
Yeah, what a surprize, 5 years waiting.... sarcasm.
The multiple posts resulted from a problem with my IPad and my lousy internet service, OK?
Traitor Obama’s sabotage succeeded. Every dumbass eco-wacko in America is happy tonite
The pumps for Keystone were built by the Sulzer corporation and have been sitting in long term storage for some years now. It is my understanding that they are being 'reassigned' for other uses (not sure if it is this one or not). These pumps are a 48-52 week lead item. Meaning if the project is approved, that cycle would start over.
I understand.
That only means it would start from a normal cycle. No way the rest of the pipeline, including ordering, receiving and installing the main pipe it self, could be done in less time. Ordering the pumps upon permit approval would not cause a delay in the final start up. Too many other activities would need to be done.
The detail engineering alone will take over a year to complete.
Obama has won.
When doesn’t he win?
