PD Moderator	Message Posted: Oct 4, 2011 10:01:34 AM Ignore PD Report Abuse A lot of folks have an interest in pushing the proposed Keystone XL pipeline to a timely completion.

Holder and Obama would do the ribbon cutting and then go and get a Nobel Peace Prize afterward.

67Lane Champion Author Toledo Posts:3,464 Points:564,460 Joined:Apr 2010	Message Posted: Oct 5, 2011 12:15:36 AM Ignore 67Lane Report Abuse I'm asking President Obama to approve Keystone XL Oil Pipeline. Obama's Administration must approve pipeline's border crossing. Please President Obama --- order Hillary Clinton's approval of Keystone XL, it has been approved by EPA and State DEPArtment study. Only Clinton's signature is needed to get it going.
jrsva Champion Author Virginia Posts:9,846 Points:1,611,275 Joined:Jan 2006	Message Posted: Oct 5, 2011 12:11:39 AM Ignore jrsva Report Abuse “I think the American people understand supply and demand, and they understand that if we increase the supply of Amwerican-made [sic] energy, prices will come down. It's as simple as that." Sorry, Rep. Upton, it is not as simple as that. The price of oil is driven as much by speculation and manipulation as it is by supply and demand. Further, oil is a global commodity; as the blog goes no to state, refiners may well export product rather than allow the domestic price to drop.

esquared Champion Author Oklahoma City Posts:8,057 Points:1,968,160 Joined:Jan 2006	Message Posted: Oct 5, 2011 12:02:26 AM Ignore esquared Report Abuse The most salient point in the blog: "More immediate discussion is needed with greater transparency for Americans and Canadians alike. The Keystone pipeline may indeed bring a measure of stability to retail gasoline prices... But, elected representatives who want to advance Keystone XL owes the electorate reliable answers from informed entities other than those with vested interests."

knot2swift Champion Author Calgary Posts:4,379 Points:696,025 Joined:Nov 2009	Message Posted: Oct 4, 2011 11:42:13 PM Ignore knot2swift Report Abuse I'm so tired of this in Alberta! We should push the "Gateway" pipeline through those friggin tree huggers in B.C. that turn up here looking for jobs in Alberta (to work in our oil patch) to the west coast and Asia. Idiots in B.C could have tens of thousands of jobs instead of Americans that are simply wasting opportunity just now.

The delay is driven by a desire by U.S. environmentalists to "regulate" the Canadian production of oil sands.
