Thank you for putting some logic into the discussion. Blocking a new pipeline is a poor decision, even in the context of choices that are best for the environment. The Canadian oil will be developed and delivered to refineries. To imagine otherwise is to wish the world back into the dark ages. The US has the best refineries for this oil and delivering by a new pipeline is far safer than delivering by truck, train or old pipelines. We will also impose more stringent environmental standards than the Chinese.
Sad news. Politics aimed at re-election. Rather than building a state of the art pipeline that will bring oil from Canada, we will continue importing oil from countries that despise us. Canada will sell oil to China. China wins. We lose.
Official rhetoric has helped fuel an escalation of tension between the United States and Iran. Do recent negotiations mark a change in direction, or just a temporary detour from the highway to military attack?
