B.O.'s press secretary yesterday claims that it's all the Republicans fault that the Keystone XL is not going through. Since gas prices will soon be a hot potato, it's time for him to earn his paycheck and do a little spin!

I think after 3 exhaustive environmental impact studies all giving the thumbs up was enough to convince the GOP that Obama should sign off on it, but Obama found 3 studies just wasn't quite enough and faulted the GOP for their insistence on relying on flawed studies already approved by his own state department.

Any hint that some of those analyses were not performed by impartial parties?

Are there any impartial parties?

Says the forum member seeking an unbiased media.

If one of your major clients is a pipeline company that will directly benefit from the pipeline, then perhaps you may have a bit of a conflict of interest.

Ow!

Like it matters?

Anti-Keystone pipeline activists need new target - Bill Mann's Canada - MarketWatch

C Span had a hearing about a month ago that included testimony from a Nebraska rancher who opposed the pipeline on environmental grounds. He was persuasive about the risks to, among other things, ground water in his area should the pipeline have a spill. That potential cost is balanced by what actual benefit? The benefits are huge for the companies involved, but I don't see any huge benefit to the country, and certainly no benefit to Nebraska ranchers.

Hmm... no benefit to the country? You would think that someone who posts on an automotive discussion forum would be a driver. Furthermore, you would think that a driver would be noticing gasoline prices.

The Keystone pipeline will be going through my place and I want nothing more than to see that NOT happen. That said, the pipeline would supply much needed crude and 13,000, albeit temporary, jobs. No benefit?

I didn't say no benefit. There are clear benefits from the pipeline. I'm not convinced they outweigh the costs. I not convinced either way.

How has it worked out in Alaska?

Fair enough and an honest answer!
