Canada pulls the plug on the U.S. Keystone Pipeline – will send oil to Asia
WUWT ^ | 6/28/2014 | Anthony Watts

Posted on 06/29/2014 8:38:39 PM PDT by Signalman

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.

This has Warren Buffet's fingerprints on it I bet. Now there is no alternative to using the railroads to ship oil, and he outright owns one of them I'm pretty sure.

Another billionaire who has everything a normal guy could possibly want, but chooses to scroo up the American economy instead. Crony capitalism at its best.

Just another checkbox that Obama can check on his list of things to do to weaken and destroy America. Oh, how he and his evil band hate us.

Actions have consequences. People had a choice and they chose two global warming champions to run against each other so we lost either way. Too bad the rest of us wont get those jobs and pay more at the pump but hey, Lesser evil right?

Obama already made the decision, and this is it. All he had to do is make no decision and he, and everyone else, knew this would be the outcome. This way he can’t be blamed directly and he has deniability.

I don’t blame them at all. Silly Hour is long over. Time for the grown folks to make plans.

America is destroyed. King Obama the communists BLACK Muslim Terrorists has finished a big part of America's ability to reap the benefits of this source of energy.

Truth be told, this accomplishes the same end result as if the pipeline were to be built to the Gulf.

Crude is fungible. Another barrel in the world bucket, whether in the Gulf pot or in the Pacific pot enlarges the world supply. Obama loses, the World wins.

The U.S. economy also loses the benefits of that crude being wholesaled in the U.S. which effect the Messiah likes.

“Obama’s inability to make a decision on Keystone....”

.
It is good for America and, as such, it is against his idea of the “change” that he wants to bring to the nation.

How much more can we take?
