Obama and the democrats dithering and playing politics with the keystone pipeline has costs the United states the project and the high paying refinery jobs that would have come with it.

To make things worse the environmental impact is going to be the same, with Canada doing the refining themselves.

Quote:Although few Americans realize it, Canadian oil sells at a steep discount because the Canadians have few other alternatives than the US market. Energy East would change that:

With the U.S. virtually its only buyer, the captive Canadians are subject to price discounts of as much as $43 a barrel that cost Canada $20 billion a year.

Energy East will dwarf the planned capacity of Keystone, carrying 1.1 million barrels per day, enough to affect oil markets significantly. We can kiss goodbye to that price break.

Remember, Barry's energy plan is a tire air pressure gauge.

A good demonstration of leadership potential should suffice.
