Interesting. I tried to copy a snip but the site would not let me. Instead it kept popping up a msg asking if I wanted permission to copy the entire piece for free with adds or no adds for a price.

Something called icopyright.

The Keystone XL pipeline project is no longer a necessity, according to a new report from Canaccord Genuity.

Analyst Phil Skolnick noted that major rail advancements and near-term pipeline capacity additions should allow oil to make its way out of Alberta through the end of 2018 or later, even without Keystone XL.

In the report titled: Hey Barry, Keystone XL Does Not Matter, which refers to U.S. President Barack Obama, whose position on the project remains in limbo, Mr. Skolnick said rail is a long-term solution for transporting oil.


The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Warren Buffet owner of railroads and Obama friend loves that Keystone isn't competing with his rail charges. #followthemoney

Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.

I watched something about this the other day. Aside from this I had not been paying attention to this.

A couple things were put forth.

1. Was a map of the proposed pipeline, from CAN all the way through the US to TX. It just made me look at the much shorter distance to their own coast, just over mtns.

2. It was brought up that, supposedly, that the oil coming out of this pipeline already has contracts to be sold to Asia, and they would not commit to selling fuel in the US.

It just made me wonder why some Americans want this so much. It cannot be for the few jobs to build it and so they do eminent domain and literally take 1000s of properties from Americans to give likely even fewer American jobs for fewer days.

I just don't even see why this is a political issue, are these not private companies? It is simply the eminent domain we are debating (the govt taking of property), I have not heard anyone mention this. Otherwise, I don't even see why anyone has to ask permission and from who they are asking it. Couldn't the oil company just buy a swath of land and do it. In Maine they are considering a private highway on private land, that will cross the boarder and not be open to public. And there they also make the mistake of asking permission to build what amounts to a series of private driveways. This is just a big private drain for oil and if you keep it all on private property, seems one could just proceed and ignore the debate. But again, in regards to the public debate, I am not sure why anyone even wants this except the oil firms.

I say this assuming they will get all the oil out eventually and we, as humans, will eventually be able to get it at the market price at that time.
