Potential U.S. Oil Boom Shakes Up Energy Politics

Unbelievably filthy, dangerous and criminal:
"Why are tar sands pipes so accident prone? To pass through the pipelines, tar sands must be brought to extreme temperatures and pressures. Add sand and powerful chemicals to this equation, and you've got a formula for corroding and rupturing steel pipes, leading to breaches that spill toxic goo into aquifers and rivers.
That would be bad enough if oil companies did a good job of maintaining and monitoring these pipeline systems -- but they do not. All of the most significant spills over the last two years were discovered not by the oil companies, but by ordinary citizens. The new report documents how prior to the Michigan spill, Enbridge conducted an "integrity management assessment" with an ultrasonic in-line inspection device. The disastrous spill happened anyway. The same is true of other companies whose pipelines ruptured.
Frequent tar sands spills and their devastating effects in places like Michigan make it clear that by continuing to develop tar sands we're not taking a risk that we will poison our water and land -- we're ensuring it. And all for oil that we don't really need."

How much are criminal Republicans getting from the oil companies to allow they to poison America?

So says the Sierra Club.

"The $7 billion oil pipeline is the largest infrastructure project on the books in the U.S. right now. It would create 20,000 jobs: 13,000 in construction, 7,000 in manufacturing.
Construction of the 1,600 mile pipeline is broken down into 17 U.S. pipeline spreads or segments, with 500 workers per spread - that's 8,500 jobs.
Keystone XL also needs 30 pump stations worth tens of millions of dollars. Each station requires 100 workers - that's 3,000 jobs. Add another 600 jobs that would be needed for the six construction camps and tank construction at Cushing, Oklahoma
A project of such magnitude needs construction, management and inspection oversight - that would create 1,000 jobs, bringing the overall Keystone XL total to 13,000 direct, on-site jobs."
http://www.transcanada.com/5921.html

'Currently, TransCanada is facing a potential inquiry into whether it deliberately deceived investors by inflating the job-creation potential of the Keystone XL project. A complaint has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over TransCanada’s “false or misleading statements about the proposed Keystone XL pipeline project.”'

"The number of people needed to operate and maintain the 1,661-mile (2,673-kilometer) pipeline may be as few as 20, according to the U.S. State Department, or as many as a few hundred, according to TransCanada."

Try again mothballs.

Good thing he did too. Everything that would be passing through that pipeline would be enormously filthy, enormously filthy to extract, enormously filthy to transport and enormously filthy to refine. That stuff is pure sludge and no oil drilling/refining
company has ever owned up true price of our using their products.
Either the environment or the consumer or the taxpayer has had
to subsidize the use of their petroleum. Never the oil companies themselves. Case in point: Prince William Sound.

The Alaska pipeline was built decades ago in much harsher conditions. No problems. Prince William Sound was the restult of drunk captain, not the pipeline. Try to keep up.

So what do you expect us to do? Buy it from Soros later which he is planning? Ten buck a gallon.

You're a flake.

Bullshit! Count truck drivers, pipeline workers, restaurant owners, fuel providers, thousands of construction workers of various skills, real estate, apartment owners, rv sellers and builders etc. You way off screwball. The democrats and economics.
Like a chimp trying to play with a football!! LMAO

But TransCanada numbers count each job on a yearly basis. If the pipeline employs 10,000 people working for two years, that's 20,000 jobs by the company's count.

Wow! You're a LOT Dumber than we thought....
Ponder these Important FACTS for a minute if your pea brain is capable before exploding....
1. An Oil Doesn't Drill for Oil. It "Transports Oil." ROFLMAO!
2. An Oil Pipeline REDUCES Transportation COSTS which can in turn Lower Overall Costs, DUMMY!!!!
-_-
3. Building an Oil Pipeline Creates JOBS. No wonder Obama is Against It.
4. The Oil Pipeline is Privately Funded meaning No Public Debt. No Wonder Obama is Against It. Obama is a Debt Machine!

Talking to you is like talking to a brick. All environmental impact sudis were not conluded yet - you would allow peoples property to be siezed, utilizing emminant domain, tobenefit an oil company?

Not knowing the enviornmental impact of creating this thing? Yoiu're a piece of sh!t - nothing more, nothing less.

Missed the link where I've shown federal drilling has incresed by 13% since last year? Do us a favor - go away again. You really weren't missed.

The Sierra Club? I don't think so, but your response is typical conservative ignorance and denial.

It's from Inside Climate News

Inside Climate News is a non-profit, non-partisan news organization that covers clean energy, carbon energy, nuclear energy and environmental science—plus the territory in between where law, policy and public opinion are shaped. Our mission is to produce clear, objective stories that give the public and decision-makers the information they need to navigate the heat and emotion of climate and energy debates.

Sorry to burst your bubble of stupidity, but it wasn't the Sierra Club.

Even Sarah Palin knew to raise taxes to pay down the debt her party incurred in Alaska. Are the Congressional RINOs dumber than Sarah Palin?

==========
As a new governor in 2007, Mrs. Palin stepped in to address the fiscal crisis and restore accountability. Working with Democrats and Republicans alike, she chose a 25% profits tax. But in lean years the state reverts to a 10% gross revenue tax on legacy fields that do not require massive continuing inputs of new capital.

Relative to the old system, Mrs. Palin's plan -- called "Alaska's Clear and Equitable Share" (ACES)-- improves incentives for developing new resources. It ensures the state does well in boom times -- as it is doing now -- when oil prices are high. But it also hedges against low prices in the future by ensuring that oil companies exposed to commodity price swings don't face a crushing tax burden when commodity prices fall.

Her plan includes an escalator clause that gives the state a larger share of revenues when oil prices rise. This is common to production-sharing agreements all over the world.

Mr. Obama proposes to give each American a $1,000 check funded by windfall profit taxes to ease the pain of high energy prices. Some say Mrs. Palin's ACES is like that, because this year every Alaskan will receive a $1,200 check as a share of the oil bonanza.(The check comes in addition to the approximately $2,000 every Alaskan will receive this year as a dividend from the Permanent Fund, which was established by state constitutional amendment in 1976 as a way of sharing the state's mineral wealth with the people.)
