"It is not in the national interest to lock the United States into supporting an expensive and dirty form of oil for many years to come. Also, additional capacity for tar sands oil perpetuates America's addiction to oil, and undermines the clean energy alternatives that would bring genuine energy security," the NRDC report continues.

Time to begin the oversight hearings in the House that will bring in selected witnesses to attest to Obama’s elemental corruption and ineptitude.
"It is not in the national interest to lock the United States into supporting an expensive and dirty form of oil for many years to come. Also, additional capacity for tar sands oil perpetuates America's addiction to oil, and undermines the clean energy alternatives that would bring genuine energy security," the NRDC report continues.
Just to be clear, the NRDC is one of those wacky enviro groups that surfaces anytime the Administration needs some green, political cover. Why Fox News chose to use them as a source for anything is suspect.
Inconceivable!
The lengths this administration will go to foist its evil agenda are transparent to most folks. It is the those whose vision is clouded by hoary, gore-y (al), pseudo science cum religion that are buying the flavorade.....
We are paying the price with the loss of the founders’ intent and thus what America was meant to be.
very sad!

Public cheers President Obama!
President Obama Cuts Workers' Taxes To Zero
20,000 workers benefit from pipeline cancellation
The nobel prize winner...first he kill more than 200 Mexican Nationals in their homeland...now he gives the big finger to our friends to the north. I cannot wait for the reign of ineptitide by this son of a bitch to end. I thought we had a NAFTA agreement and why does this not cover the pipeline project to the US. Once it gets here, then it comes part of domestic policy.
Pipeline is an environmental problem eh? How long has the Alaskan Pipeline been running with how many big problems? Something like 23 years with minor spillage.
Pipeline Quick Facts
The Trans Alaska Pipeline System was designed and constructed to move oil from the North Slope of Alaska to the northern most ice-free port in Valdez, Alaska.
Length: 800 miles.
Diameter: 48 inches.
Crosses three mountain ranges and more than 30 major rivers and streams.
Cost to build: $8 billion in 1977, largest privately funded construction project at that time.
Construction began March 27, 1975 and was completed May 31, 1977.
First oil moved through the pipeline on June 20, 1977.
More than 16 billion barrels have moved through TAPS.
First tanker to carry crude oil from Valdez: ARCO Juneau, August 1, 1977.
Tankers loaded at Valdez: 19,625 through April 30, 2008.
The mission of Alyeska’s Ship Escort Response Vessel System is to safely escort tankers through Prince William Sound.

Obama got what he wanted. More tax money for his political donors and the opportunity to kill the pipeline without any consequence.
Bravo Republicans.
Very interesting. I know someone out there could make a video of Obama and the South American connection. Remember- the money going to Brazil Government owned Oil Company and Obama words “We’ll be their best Customer”. Throw in the oil rigs leaving the Golf and XL pipeline and put it on You Tube. Folks, that’s a Winner.
When a president acts against our national interests and our national security interests, there’s only one word for it, and only one punishment.
Treason, and hanging.
See NIMBYs and foreign manufacturing (import) interests. And yes, it’s a global oil market in some ways. But without the pipeline, oil and fuel (especially fuel) will continue to be higher in the western hemisphere without the pipeline (transportation, lack of refining, etc.).
Too bad their evil agenda isn’t transparent to the 40 some percent of the voters that still support them.
