The Tyrant’s financial backer (the non al Qaeda
and non Iranian one) needs the pipeline CLOSED
for his rail line.

The Tyrant will comply because it hurts America
and Americans.

THE TREASON — abetted by the GAVE.OBAMA.POWER (GOP) Party
CONTINUES.

"Obama, who is rarely reluctant to act unilaterally when it benefits him politically, and who regularly brags about his red-tape cutting, is paralyzed by perhaps the only big shovel-ready jobs project he's been presented with."

More to the point, he's confronted with the only action that has potential to provide a boost to THIS COUNTRY and its economy...

delay its decision on the Keystone XL pipeline

Why can't folks just call something what it is. There is no "delay" whatsoever. There *IS* a decision. That decision is "NO.". It is only the means to that end that causes confusion - that is, on the surface claiming it as a "delay".

Here's something amusing...The USA is recommending fracking as the solution to the EU countries getting gas from Russia.

Merkel outlawed it....so this is stabbing her in the back, too.

You can tell she's still p***** about Obama tapping her phone.

obdurate rich environmentalists and the door-knocking minions they employ.

Why not name names? That would be Pew Charitable Trusts (Sunoco), W. Alton Jones Foundation (Citgo), Rockefellers Brothers Fund (You know who), and the Hewlett and Packard Foundations (in big with Exxon/Mobil). These are the big donors to the environmental move-mint. Socialists all.

There's nothing quite like getting fatter margins on existing wells without having to pay for risky drilling and receiving thinner margins.

[Article] That's because many environmental reporters think their beat begins and ends with climate change.

No, it's because these guys are candidates for jobs in the apparat of (they hope) an eventually all-triumphant, dystopian, totalitarian Communist regime.

Then they will make us pay all the prices for their victory, and for everything they did to get there.

As this story suggests, the friction predates the rise of climate change as a concern, but climate change has made these problems worse because it has coincided with and exacerbated environmentalism's steady slide leftward. Greens already hated fossil fuels when scientists feared we were heading into a new Ice Age. But such hatred could be environmentally beneficial when it forced tougher safety standards on the industry. Now the hatred is categorical, even existential: All drilling is bad.

Goldberg is, for some reason, avoiding the real reason for the rift between the environmental movement and the Republican party.

It is simply this: The environmental movement is no longer about the environment. Instead, it is about statist power.

The environmental watermelon has been turned inside out...
