Man, just sitting here listening to some of the debate concerning the Keystone Pipe Line. It's been under 'consideration' for more then 40 months now, and still no permits issued!!!!! The State Department has rejected the approval because they haven't had time to study it. Do you believe tht??? The pipeline would take oil from Canada to the refinery's in Texas, the State Dept. isn't sure they could require this oil to be used here in the US and not put on the export market..... and our President, after some "environmentalists" protested it has decided to do nothing about it till after the election!!!!! Canada is saying get off your butts and build the pipeline or we'll sell the oil to China.......

This debate is taking place in the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee. Think I'm going to put an email together and ask my Representative (we only have 1 here in South Dakota) why the heck we aren't building this thing.....

BTW---also, there would be 20,000 to 35,000 jobs created in just building the pipeline~!!!!!!! Wow, no wonder this country is so upside down, nobody wants to do anything til after the election in November!!!!!! Isn't there anybody in our Government that gives a hoot about what is best for America, and not just what's best for them?????
