While a small group of environmental doomsayers gather outside the
White House, President Obama is faced with a momentous decision! Should
he abandon the very people who brought him victory or will he change
course and protect America's future energy needs by minimizing
dependence on foreign oil? Developing the Keystone XL Canadian/American
pipeline will no doubt generate enormous economic activity, creating
more than 100,000 American jobs; high-paying construction jobs in the
short and long term as well as generate over $5 billion in new property
tax revenue for bankrupt states but if the President does not grant
approval, then we will no doubt start selling our oil to
China, India, and other countries that will bring no environmental
benefit to the United States, bring further misery to American workers
and to make matters worse, further increase U.S. energy dependence on
oil produced by tyrannical regimes. President Obama has some severe
soul-searching to do in the fall!
