I see another one of Obama's cheerleader Warren Buffet's rail trains has gone off the tracks spilling dirty Canadian oil ( that no one needs ) into the Mississippi River . I bet the good people of Alma are glad that Keystone got rejected .
Keystone XL has been Officially REJECTED

Environmentalists say a groundbreaking investigation in New York involving energy giant ExxonMobil could have implications for Canadian oil producers.
The state's attorney general is looking into allegations the company lied to the public and investors about the risks of climate change.
"This is the thin edge of the wedge," says Keith Stewart, climate and energy campaign co-ordinator for Greenpeace.
"Similar to tobacco — it took time for these court cases to kick in, but once they did, the damages were in the billions."

New York's attorney general is examining statements by Exxon Mobil and Peabody Energy to determine whether they deceived investors about the causes and impacts of climate change, an official familiar with the investigations said Thursday.
A subpoena was sent Wednesday to Dallas-based Exxon after a yearlong review of shareholder disclosures, said the official, who wasn't authorized to publicly discuss the probes and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

The future not looking so good on other pipelines. 
Energy East
Energy East’s startup date has been delayed by two years to 2020. TransCanada has also warned project costs are expected to rise above the initial estimate of $12 billion, which would have already been one of the most expensive infrastructure projects in Canadian history.
Northern Gateway
Enbridge has had a federal permit to build Northern Gateway since mid-2014 but has not made a final decision to proceed. The project could face lengthy delays in the courts as opponents launch legal challenges to Ottawa’s approval. Last month, the Federal Court of Appeal reserved its decision on whether to uphold or quash that approval.
Trans Mountain
The $5.4-billion project has faced stiff opposition from those who do not want to see more crude-filled tankers moving through the Burrard Inlet. Protesters held up survey work on Burnaby Mountain late last year.

How Obama’s Keystone XL rejection adds momentum to the Paris climate talks
"This is the last but also the biggest card that the president could play to compel other world leaders to take strong action in Paris next month,” says Michael Brune, the executive director of the Sierra Club, which has long opposed the pipeline.
And not just that, says Brune: It makes a particular point about the long-term need for decarbonization, which includes leaving certain fuels in the ground. “This announcement is powerful in that it will show that the world is beginning to turn away from extreme energy sources, and it will provide significant momentum to a long term decarbonization goal,” Brune says.
Indeed, the President himself made this very point directly in his remarks Friday on the rejection of the pipeline. “Ultimately if we’re going to prevent large parts of this Earth from becoming not only inhospitable but uninhabitable in our lifetimes, we’re going to have to keep some fossil fuels in the ground, rather than burn them and release more dangerous pollution into the sky,” Obama said.
The oil in the project alone would account for 168 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MMTCO2e) per year, with the incremental increase of 27 MMTCO2e. Over the life of the project this would lead to an unacceptable amount of carbon pollution at a time when all estimates are saying that we are quickly burning through our remaining carbon budget. All studies that look at what can be burned in a 2 degrees C world show that tar sand reserves shouldn’t be developed.

The reality is, left-tards would rather financially support Islamic terrorism by buying oil from Saudi Arabia, rather than use nice, blood-free oil from Canada.
Not to mention the roughly 65,000 liters of nasty, filthy bunker fuel burned by the average Suezmax supertanker in the course of a day at sea.
For those unfamiliar with bunker fuel, it has 2000 times the sulphur content of diesel fuel and has been banned for use on land by just about every country on Earth.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. All this globalization has hugely increased the amount of marine traffic. One detailed study even goes so far as to suggest the 16 largest ships in the world, a combination of supertankers and container ships, generate as much emissions and particulate as all the cars on the planet. And at a price that's literally pennies on the gallon, there's not much incentive to stop using bunker fuel.
Ironic isn't it? We've sent many of our good paying jobs overseas to countries with significantly less stringent environmental controls if any, all so large numbers of ships can crank out the emissions bringing us cheaply made crap that we used to make here with some semblance of quality.
Once again, Canada as a nation of 35 million people generates only HALF the annual emissions that international shipping does but the morons in charge want to slit our throats over it like we're the big, evil destroyers of planet Earth or something.

Pipelines don't get rid of rail transport.
They actually increase demand which means a higher likelihood of a spill.

You do know they are our favorite Allie in the area after Israel right??
The taxpayers didn't sent those jobs there, bog oil did so the rich shareholders bout get a few dollars more on their investment.
I would think the World Bank is a bigger danger to the world than a people in one of the coldest countries on the planet.
