From the Democrats mouthpiece, the WaPo?
I guess that means the pro Keystone team must have payed or promised the Democrats some big money.

Warren Buffett hasn’t recouped all the money he put into railroad stocks. Plus the environmentalist whackos have deep pockets, thus have way more influence than their miniscule numbers.

Per Michael Mann, the WaPo is now firmly in the anti-science camp.

‘O simply wants to play both ends against the middle to make all believe he is still relevant..

Labor unions are pro-pipeline. WaPo is pro labor unions.
I’m guessing that’s where the influence lies.

“Environmentalists” my azz…..these people are BANANAs:
Build
Absolutely
Nothing
Anywhere
Near
Anything
Say, where are the trolls to defend this….?

Advocates also contend that the passionate movement against the pipeline can be useful to achieve more consequential ends and therefore should be supported, as though cultivating irrational thinking is an acceptable basis for public policy.
Coming from a MSM source, and the Washington Pus at that, my irony meter just blowed up real good.

It’s not about the environment. It’s about population reduction. The misguided greens have bought into the idea that the population is too high and only goes higher when there is global prosperity. Killing the economy today by hobbling productivity through onerous and capricious regulations is step one. Killing the economy tomorrow by hobbling the next generation with overwhelming debt is step two. And ruining healthcare just expedites the mortality of the citizenry of the planet.

If libs really, really wanted to do something about overpopulation, they’d kill themselves and lead by example. Seriously, how can they stand it knowing that their mere existence defiles Gaia?

So long as Algore uses cars and planes and lives in houses that have a bigger “carbon footprint” than a dozen of me will ever have I refuse to take a thing he says seriously.
Until the warmists start applying TO THEIR OWN LIVES what they want the government to use FORCE to make me apply to MINE, they should be laughed at and mocked mercilessly.

Absolutely he’ll stall on it, and for two people. First, to get as many donations from the environmentalists to any Democrats being threatened in the election, and second to trick any less than intelligent independents into thinking at the last moment that he’s a moderate and his allies on the left deserve a chance.

The source of XL pipeline opposition is the Luddite wing of the environmentalists, those are few. But the Communist wing of the environmentalists is large and committed to harming the Capitalist system through any target of opportunity.
So when the Luddites say, Stop the production of oil, Acorn forms a Mothers against Big Dirty Pipelines march. Then, some celebrity like Princess Elizabeth Warren shows up and she leads a few chants, and the first thing you know you have a Hollywood fundraiser going.
The XL pipeline delay is exhibit A in proving something, I’m just not sure what.

I suspect the continued stall is nothing more than a hole card, waiting to be played. In other words, Obama will suddenly discover that KXL is a good idea only when he feels the time is right to get maximum advantage for his “discovery.”

Green “policy” is based on stupidity and dogma. Nothing more. Keystone illustrates that perfectly, which is why WaPo is upset about it.

Where is Fat AlGore exactly?

The Green Left will only be satisfied when we humans all live like
on the Stone Age. You can take that to the bank, period.

As Keystone Decision Looms, Buried Report Cites TransCanada Inadequate Pipeline Inspections
The report was prepared in the aftermath of another TransCanada natural gas pipeline explosion — a 2009 blast on Dene Tha’ First Nation territory in northern Alberta. It found that the pipeline in question, the Peace River Mainline, had a rupture rate five times higher than the national average and, when it burst in 2009, that particular section was 95 percent corroded.
The report wasn’t released until this January when the CBC obtained it, an oversight the National Energy Board chalked up to an “administrative error.”
The timing of the error is particularly questionable, the CDC notes, considering the fact that in early 2011, “TransCanada was in the midst of negotiating dozens of U.S. safety requests on pipeline construction, operation and design on the controversial Keystone XL proposal.”
TransCanada is still awaiting a decision on its contentious Keystone XL proposal. After the U.S. State Department released its final environmental impact statement last week, it is now up to President Obama to determine whether the pipeline is in the best interest of the country.
Oil began flowing through the southern leg of the pipeline in January and TransCanada CEO Russ Girling called it...
