Keystone XL to raise gas prices in Colorado significantly

Indeed - will Reid and the Senate bow to the inevitable in the hope that the Democrats can one day claim ownership of passing the legislation? Or are they so convinced that it is a bad idea that they will again defeat the measure and allow the next Congress to put it on Obama's desk?

Several news outlets are now reporting the KXL Pipeline Project may be dead. This story from Addicting Info:

It is not about that right now. The question is will the senate dems allow Landrow a hail marry for reelection.

TOO contentious....the LOBBYISTS (D's) have called in their "markers".

The Alaska Pipeline had the same effect on ALASKAN'S pocketbooks....higher gas prices,,ask my
brother who is a "sourdough" and worked on the Pipeline as a welder.

I'm not so sure that is the case, BlazerBob. If, in fact, the pipeline is dead in the water as far as it running right through the middle of the U.S. is concerned, might that not have a corollary effect on what's going on with Senator Landrieu? I'm relatively new to this thread, but it would still seem to me if the KXL Pipeline "goes away" (at least from a U.S. perspective), that would make a lot of the current wrangling on the issue become moot, especially as it applies to Landrieu - unless I'm missing something here.

When in doubt, follow the $. From another left wing site.

"On Thursday, White House press secretary Josh Earnest suggested to reporters that if Congress passed a bill approving the controversial northern leg of the Keystone XL pipeline, the President’s advisers would recommend he veto it. On Friday, the President himself said the pipeline take Canadian oil and sell it “everywhere else.” The mystery of whether or not Obama would use his third veto ever to stop a congressionally-mandated pipeline approval became relevant much sooner than expected because Senate Democratic leaders agreed to allow a vote as early as next week.
The reason, theoretically, would be a symbolic attempt to underline the support that still-embattled Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Chairwoman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, has shown for the fossil fuel industry in order to boost her electoral prospects, a Senate Democratic aide told Bloomberg News. She faces a runoff election on December 6 after neither she nor her opponent, Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) cleared a majority of votes on November 4.
On Wednesday afternoon, just as the Senate began its post-midterm lame duck session, Landrieu went straight to the Senate floor to urge her colleagues to support her bill, the “Keystone XL Pipeline Approval Act.”...

Regardless, it would still be a symbolic act if the pipeline does, in fact, go the alternate route through Canada (which, BTW, is something I personally believe should have been the case from the get go). If KXL is no longer a viable possibility, then it doesn't matter whether there is a vote or not as far as I'm concerned. In the runoff, the chips will fall where they may.

President himself said the pipeline take Canadian oil and sell it “everywhere else.”

The President doesn't understand what a "fungible commodity" is. More oil enters the global market, prices go down.

Gas prices to go up if Keystone? Sounds like someone is trying to "Gruber" us

Record profits should just be made illegal. It just isn't very nice. Geez!
