Obama sez No to Keystone

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

Why was oil so high under Bush? 

I know there is a dem/lib to blame.

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

Good point Lickey. Bush and Obama are the same. IIRC, libs loved Bush?  Surprised he didn't get a third term.

Because of supply and demand. The same forces are also at play here, as always. However, that doesn't mean Obama has not contributed to the problem.

I had no idea B.O. was actually taking credit for the increase in domestic production. We haven't seen this level of propaganda since FDR.  Good God.

Maybe this Obama guy knew what he was doing after all. 

Retail gasoline deliveries are through the floor:


Exports of finished gasoline are up (almost 20% YOY):


Imports are trending down:


Inventories are normal:


Apparently those 1300 Volts are really doing their job & we clearly don't need that cheap Canadian oil!

I meant to link to that editorial. There's also some good info in there about why wind and solar are such massive debacles.

Bump:  Obama still blocking it.  Not the Nebraska sand farmer scapegoats.  This thread is full of idiot liberal logic, lies and misinformation.

As soon as obama is gone, the thing will get built. Meanwhile, all of the oil is being shipped by Buffet's trains, which is much more dangerous and environmentally worse.

FYI a group of KSU alums design and manufacture the latest technology in loading said train cars with oil.  They are currently making a killing and KSU athletics is benefiting.  This is good for KSU FB, so there's that.

Of course there are 'cats out there attempting to save the world from the libs, but pipelines will always be safer and more efficient.

Cool. But transporting oil and gas by pipeline seems much more efficient in the long run than by rail. At least, it would be, in a perfect world without liberals.

Speaking of which, seems about time one of the resident libtards chimes in with the standard "oil production is way up (on private land) under Obama" canard.

Obama's "economy" speeches really fly in the face of his actions on this pipe.

"Streamline the permit process"

What a rough ridin' clown

[OregonSmock]

So angry.  So butthurt.  The Republican party, ladies and gentlemen!

Pipelines are better for the environment. It's like liberals have waged a war on the environment and women lately.

Oh yeah, trains and ships never spill oil and move it more efficiently.

The only reason obama won't approve it is because his enviro-nazis wants less oil, period.

[OregonSmock]

For some reason I'm skeptical that building a pipeline for Canadian tar sands oil is going to solve this country's economic woes.

It's not meant to, but it certainly will help. It would be the one thing obama could point to and say he helped the economy.

yeah.  the block the pipeline to prevent exploitation of the tar sands people are dumbasses.

Yes, and they're delusional enough to thinknitactually prevents the exploitation of the tar sands.

While Republicans have advocated for Keystone by insisting that it will create jobs, Obama slammed that assertion Tuesday, pointing to the Cornell University estimate that Keystone would only create 50 permanent jobs:

    If [Congressional Republicans have] got a better plan to create jobs rebuilding our infrastructure or to help workers earn the high-tech skills they need, then they should offer up these ideas. But I’ve got to tell you, just gutting our environmental protection, that’s not a jobs plan. Gutting investments in education, that’s not a jobs plan. You know, they keep on talking about an oil pipeline coming down from Canada that’s estimated to create about 50 permanent jobs. That’s not a jobs plan.

An estimate done by Obama’s own State Department pegs the the total number of permanent jobs created by Keystone even lower — at a mere 35. But that’s not the only reason not to build it; were the pipeline completed, it would emit levels of CO2 equivalent to that of 51 coal-fired power plants.

While for a time it seemed as though the pipeline was set to go through, more recently, Obama has been on the fence about Keystone’s creation. In a speech last month, he set the ultimatum that he would only approve it if it “does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution.” Surely, he will find that it does. A recent National Resources Defense Council estimate of the project found that “approving the tar sands pipeline would add 1.2 billion metric tons of carbon pollution to the atmosphere over the 50-year lifespan of the project.”

Eat that, pubtards.

Eat that, pubtards.

That emission total is direct and indirect production based emissions from the development of the tar sands, and not emissions from the actual pipeline.  That area has been and will continue to be extensively developed, whether or not the Keystone XL is completed or not.  The XL project is just the first option.

oregon, was that written by a journalist?  because that journalist should be fired, if so (unless you deliberately distorted meaning by removing context).
