Keystone passes Congress

[Takket]

No surprise here. McConnell said it was the first priority was the new GOP Congress was sworn in, and with typical Rethug efficiency it passed about 40 days later.

What do you think, black, blue or red ink for the veto?

1. dumb question maybe...

Canada has been waiting on us for YEARS to build this pipeline so refineries on the gulf coast can refine their oil. And Obama is going to veto it, and everyone knows it....

So considering how much this project would cost, why doesn't Canada just build its own refinery???????? Why are they letting their tar sands just sit there when they could do this without us???

2. Because the tar sands oil is destined for world export as gasoline, the refineries are in the Gulf for a reason.

And the high sulpur cheaper tar sands oil is need to mix with the condensate shale oil...mix em at the Gulf.
