Just imagine how much $ a Presidential Permit costs.
If Clinton approves that means we don’t?

>Waxman, chairman of the House of Representatives’ energy and commerce committee, said Clinton’s department was failing to consider the impact that additional oil consumption in the United States would have on climate change.
there it is folks.
Back to the stone age for America!
She said the United States would either be dependent on "dirty oil" from the oilsands or from the Gulf of Mexico -- the site of the worst oil spill in U.S. history -- until the country "gets its act together" on renewable energy. State Department spokesman Mark Toner said Thursday that Clinton's comments stand. "We need to, frankly ... find energy sources in other areas as well, be they clean or dirty," he said. On Thursday Mike Johanns, a Republican senator from Nebraska, and Jeff Merkley, a Democratic senator from Oregon, said Clinton must clarify what she said during a question-and-answer session at the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco.
I think she should be made to explain what the heck “dirty oil” is. Oil is the lifebloood of this country and provides freedom and opportunity to millions of Americans. What is truly dirty is Hillary Clinton.
“Maintaining and protecting Nebraska’s water supply is very important to me and the residents of Nebraska,” the Republican governor wrote.
Oh, fer cryin' out loud. Numerous states are criss-crossed with pipelines and no aquifer has ever been contaminated.
Since when did Republican Governors and Senators fall for standard-grade enviro-whacko bull hockey?
They shouldn't be questioning the pipeline. Instead, they should be encouraging its construction -- which will mean more jobs (and some lease payments) for Nebraskans.
What a bunch of wusses.
Since when does the State Department have to get involved in the Commerce and Energy department issues?
I never knew that Hitlery had such broad powers to wave her witches wand, and screw up the entire world energy market!
We’ll need China’s permission to use our own oil.
The Clintons are very good at this game. They are positioning Hillary to the right of Obama, and getting her into the newscycle.
*Oooh, sorry about putting ‘positioning’ and ‘Hillary’ in proximity like that. Accident, I swear.*
I do not like HER comments about dirty oil but SHE is supporting the pipeline. Johanns should be tarred and feathered for opposing the pipeline. The pipeline is the best alternative to get Canadian crude.
