Keystone pipeline rejection could come this month
2015-08-11
[Washington Examiner] Canadian sources are confirming rumors that the Obama administration could soon reject the controversial Keystone XL pipeline project.

Sources close to the project told the Canadian Press over the weekend that the Canada-based firm TransCanada, which is constructing the project, is preparing for the decision.

The State Department has been reviewing the pipeline project for six years, becoming a source of contention between Democrats and Republicans, who spar over the benefits of the project. Republicans want the project approved for the economic and jobs creation benefits. But Democrats say the project would only worsen the environmental challenges posed by climate change.

The nearly 1,200-mile pipeline would deliver tar sands oil from Canada to refiners on the Gulf Coast. The State Department has the final say on the project because it crosses an international border.

#15  Here's a good one that will burn bunker oil:

But stay off the monkey deck between the engine and tender. In a tunnel you will be scalded by steam, exhaust from the combustion of fuel oil, and mud from feedwater treatment.

#10  I sort of like seeing the 100+ unit tank car trains rolling into scenic Anacortes, WA behind a couple of diesels. The only thing better will be Big Boy 4014 on the main lines once the Union Pacific gets her all restored

#9  I'd suggest you scrap the firewood from your PC neighbor's house. Start soon, it could get cold early. They're gun-free so don't let their bitching stop you

#4  Need to shut down all those dangerous oil and gas pipelines to New England and the Mid-West before winter this year too.

#3  But Democrats say the project would only worsen the environmental challenges posed by climate change.

Which is why they want the oil burned in China under virtually no emission controls instead of here in America under the watchful eye of the EPA. Wait, isn't that totally backwards? This doesn't make a bit of sense.
