"we don't need no stinking economic activity"
And we all knew it wouldn’t be completed.
Or is this your "get even" for those Dems who don't bow down??
And regardless of how the court rules, the losers will appeal to the next higher court and another year or two is wasted. Then that ruling will be appealed and another year is wasted even if it is rejected by the final court ruing. Pipeline will not get final Obama decision in his term in office!
Every Democrat ought to lose their seat this fall on this issue alone. Obama is obviously lying about caring about jobs and the economy when this pipeline has been stranded in his bureaucracy for almost six years during The Worst Recession Since the Depression.
Too busy fomenting chaos around the world to tend the garden in their back yard.
Keystone XL pipeline will not be completed started this year, U.S. agencies told
Any doubt that the GOP would not retain the house was decided today.
I heard that the Canadian oil is most fit for refining into diesel fuel that would be most marketable in Europe. With limited refining capacity in the US (no new refineries in decades) the production of European diesel will reduce the supply of gasoline hence raising the cost of gasoline. I’m no petrochemist and this explanation could be true but it doesn’t ring true to me. Anyone know better?
I’m wondering about those “holdout Nebraska landowners.”
What’s their beef?

Next time you have to fill up at $3.49/gallon, think of this!!
OIL - You better be sitting down when you read this!
As you may know, Cruz Construction started a division in North Dakota just 6 months ago. They send every Kenworth (9 trucks) we had here in Alaska to North Dakota and several drivers. They just bought two new Kenworth’s to add to that fleet; one being a Tri Drive tractor and a new 65 ton lowboy to go with it. They also bought two new cranes (one crawler & one rubber tired) for that division.
Dave Cruz said they have moved more rigs in the last 6 months in ND than Cruz Construction moved in Alaska in the last 6 years.
Williston is like a gold rush town; they moved one of our 40 man camps down there since there are no rooms available.
Unemployment in ND is the lowest in the nation at 3.4 percent last I checked.
See anything in the national news about how the oil industry is fueling North Dakota ‘s economy?
Here’s an astonishing read. Important and verifiable information:
About 6 months ago, the writer was watching a news program on oil and one of the Forbes Bros. was the guest.
The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska ‘s Prudhoe Bay , and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable( 5 billion barrels), at $107 a barrel, we’re looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion.
“When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor.
They had no idea.” says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature’s financial analyst.
However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken’s massive reserves, and we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL !!!!!!
That’s enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 years straight.
And if THAT didn’t throw you on the floor, then this next one should - because it’s from 2006 !!!!!!
U.. S. Oil Discovery - Largest Reserve in the World
Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006
Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world.
It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction.
In three and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted.
With this mother-load of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore drilling?
They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth.
Here are the official estimates:
8 times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
18 times as much oil as Iraq
21 times as much oil as Kuwait
22 times as much oil as Iran
500 times as much oil as Yemen and it’s all right here in the Western United States !!!!!!
HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of people dictate our lives and our economy. WHY?
James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we’ve got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East, more than 2 TRILLION barrels untapped. That’s more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today , reports The Denver Post.
Don’t think ‘OPEC’ will drop its price even with this find? Think again! It’s all about the competitive marketplace, it has to.
Think OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists?
Got your attention yet? Now, while you’re thinking about it, do this:
Pass this along. If you don’t take a little time to do this, then you should stifle yourself the next time you complain about gas prices, by doing NOTHING, you forfeit your right to complain.
