Originally posted by OldTerry View PostTransportation to the refineries via train and truck to US is very costly. What will probably happen is the oil will be transported via pipeline across Canada and wind up going to foreign refineries. The ramifications of closing down the Keystone Pipeline coupled with other efforts to stop the usage of fossil fuels is certainly going to change the way we in America live (and not for the better).
Trump only went with it because Obama didn’t. He didn’t weigh any of the potential hazards or costs, not to mention the pipeline would go through sacred ground that Obama did when making the initial decision.

There are issues with the green New Deal for sure. But trying to clean up the environment and stop climate change is necessary whether the Chinese participate or not.
And is it really an economy killer? Everything I read indicates long term there will be many jobs in green/clean energy.
I get that shifting from oil/coal to other sources of energy isn’t popular in states heavily reliant on them. But shouldn’t we pursue what is best for the country?

The native Americans are trying to play by the white man's rules now. But of course the white man will ignore his own rules and will move the goalposts when it's to his benefit.
That's why it was said that he spoke with a forked tongue. Seems that hasn't changed.
