Interesting to see that the congresscritter from NE makes this shameful cut since NE landowners have filed two lawsuits that could either shut down or delay XL. He needs to phone home. The good news is I don’t see any critters from the great state of California. Good for us.

No Democratic Congresscritters from Michigan either. We have our own problems still with TransCanada on a tributary of the Kalamazoo river that still hasn’t been properly cleaned up from years ago. Same gooey shit that can’t be cleaned up once it leaks out of their bullshit pipelines…bitumen. On this issue, the company and the Congress that votes for this crap are silent. Pitiful.

I’m only a couple of miles from where that huge spill was here in Marshall. I didn’t realize how much worse this stuff is than regular crude that mostly floats. This crap sinks and basically paves the bottom of the river.
Mike Doyle has lost my vote.
Where is he on fracking?
The latest estimates are that over 500 oil rigs will be shut down due to the dropping price of oil. Couldn’t the case be made that putting more oil on the international market, through the Keystone Pipeline, will cause even more downward pressure on oil prices and result in more oil rig closures. This would cause more layoffs in the energy sector and result in a net loss of jobs, not a gain of 35 permanent jobs?
