The Very Green Keystone Pipeline Delay

Stopping the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline from carrying Canadian oil, a major trading partner and ally of the United States, is just part of a much larger environmental agenda aimed at preventing access to this energy source, but it is larger in scope; stopping or slowing the development of America’s huge reserves of coal, oil, and natural gas.

Just before 2013 came to an end, the Sierra Club sent out an email claiming that “2014 is shaping up to be a defining year for the environment” warning that “Superstorms, wildfires, and mass destruction from climate change threaten us all. Future generations and endangered species like wolves and bear are counting on us.” This is pure fear-mongering. In 2013, all the factors mentioned were in decline.

My earlier post from March 14, 2013:

I've posted my conspiracy several times before. Here it is again.
I believe that the global Left wants control of America's vast natural resources, but that they are hiding behind environmental groups to stop the current constitutional republic that is occupying this continent from exploiting those resources.
They are using environmental extremism to, one-by-one, close off America's natural resources from our own use, strangling our economy and crippling our growth. They are waiting for America to atrophy and collapse under its own weight because its industrial base has been hollowed out due to a lack of energy.
If America were ever driven to finally use our resources, we'd grow strong again - on our terms - which the global Left cannot allow. They are using pressure groups to shame American politicians into not tapping these resources for our own good. Our politicians are on a death spiral of growing public debt and shrinking public income, while sitting on a wealth of natural resources that they refuse to exploit.
Just watch. If the United States as it is currently constituted ever falls, the Left will rush in to take those natural resources for themselves, that they denied us, and convert those resources into private wealth for themselves.
I can see Emperor Obama overseeing the redistribution of America's vast oil, gas, coal, ore, and wood, resources to his buddies around the world.
Or at least try to.
