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

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.

Another Obama triumph. America poorer, somebody else richer. Punish those white people!

Obama will nuke an American city, or cities, to collapse the former United States, unless there is some compelling reason not to do it. The deaths of millions of evil white people would be a reason FOR doing it.

It was Obama’s plan, all the time, to send the oil , and the coal, to Asia. Obama’s energy plan is to starve America of fossil fuels, while sending them to Asia. It is a redistribution of welth in the form of fossil fuels.

The unintended consequences or not:

- Lost keystone pipeline construction jobs.
- Lost jobs at the gulf ports.
- West coast jobs lost to Canadian Shipping Ports.

With many of them good paying sustained employment jobs. Another consequence is increased foreign presence near Pacific U.S which will eventually justify China’s Naval presence.

I imagine that if we continue this ‘progressive’ trajectory, by 2030 China’s Naval ships will be welcome in Canada and Latin America — and I think we’ve already lost Latin American on that account.

Well dang. He was going to start thinking about it during his next few rounds of golf and step classes.

This is of course right in line with the Obama agenda, which is to cut the United States down to size.

Um, I think he's reacting to your multiple-posting, not to the content of your post #22-28, which, by the way, was right on the money.

If you don't see your post, it's best to refresh the page before concluding it didn't hit.

Please keep on posting (just one at a time, however).
