Sometime in the past year, I heard a reporter interview an upper management employee of the Keystone XL Pipeline. During that program, the interviewer specifically asked the man from Keystone if it would bring many jobs to the United States. He truthfully, but reluctantly, answered that no, it wouldn't mean more than around fifty permanent jobs.
The purpose of the pipeline, per articles I have read is so Canadian oil can be shipped to U. S. ports to be sent overseas. This lays to rest a common belief that it would mean more oil for us. If these reports are true, we would get fifty jobs and zero oil. So what is this never-ending fuss about?
Why exactly do the Republicans and their constituency want to risk the environment and ecology of any portion of our country for that?
Perhaps the press could take a rest from policing political correctness and find out what all this hubbub is about if we get no benefit from messing up our own ecology for Canada.
