Obama’s Keystone Dithering

Not building the pipeline is harming the environment, but the zealots don’t care.

                         

 John Fund  "Nowhere has President Obama’s legendary indecision been on more vivid display than in his bizarre dithering over the Keystone XL pipeline, which would move crude oil from the oil sands of Alberta, Canada, to Gulf Coast refineries some 1,700 miles to the south. The southern leg of the pipeline, from Oklahoma to the Gulf, began operating last week. But the northern end has been in limbo for five years. Last March Obama assured Senate Republicans that a decision on Keystone would be made before the end of 2013. We are still waiting. One more broken promise. " ...

Increasingly, as North Dakota Republican John Hoeven says, companies are “forced to deliver their product by rail because they don’t have the pipelines.” In the last ten months, there has been an average of one large oil spill a month because of rail accidents. One in Quebec last July killed 47 people and decimated an entire town.

The Edmonton Sun says to Expect more dithering over Keystone pipeline
 "Because of the fiasco caused by the rollout of Obamacare, the president has lost a lot of support among middle-of-the-road voters. Even the moderate wing of his own party has doubts about his leadership abilities."

From the Calgary Herald: Obama dithering again on Keystone   "If there was any doubt about Obama's dithering on the Keystone XL project, Thursday's announcement suggests it's unlikely the pipeline will be approved until the U.S. mid-term elections in November."
