-snip-
Published on Nov 9, 2015

On Monday’s Show, Ed gives commentary on Dr. Ben Carson claiming that his campaign is facing too much scrutiny from the media. We are joined by Larry Cohen, former President of the Communications Workers of America, and Surrogate for the Bernie Sanders campaign, to discuss the Senator’s comments over the weekend. We are also joined by Jane Kleeb, Director of Bold Nebraska, to discuss the Nebraska Landowners’ big win when President Obama rejected the Keystone XL Pipeline.

The Pipeline is almost complete, and Canada has already filled the completed sections with their tar& Sand slurry.

Mobilization of equipment and services, including construction, for the project started in 2008. Site of first construction was in North Dakota at the U.S.-Canadian border in May 2008 with Canadian construction getting under way during June 2008. Completion on the pipeline section to Cushing is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2010.

Although Keystone is several months from completion, TransCanada has started filling completed sections of the pipeline system.

Here is a quick tale-of-the tape for the Keystone project:

*Total length is 2,148 miles.

*1,379 total miles of new pipeline was built in the U.S., including 1,084 miles of the U.S. mainline from the U.S.-Canadian border to markets in Wood River and Patoka as Phase I and 295 miles from Nebraska to Cushing as Phase II.





I don't see the Resource Extraction Corporations just abandoning the multi-millions they have already spent. I expect something far more nefarious.
(Yes. You are right. I don't trust these guys.
They won't throw all this away.)


Watch for the "Keystone" to get a new name or something just as deceptive.
The pipeline formerly known as Keystone WILL be transporting Canadian Tar Sand slurry to Houston & Texas City for refining, and from there, will be sold on the World market...probably to China before 2016.

My prediction is based on the knowledge that the Keystone Pipeline is already very near completion.

PIPELINE! All they need is a few gas lines and prices to reach $3.50 in the Midwest.

I can hear NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC and Fox now. They will say, "The American people need gasoline, waaaah."

Besides the KXL we will resume fracking all over the place.
