#1 "The new Obama policy somewhat splits the difference -- not killing the project outright, but ensuring that it meets a basic environmental standard."

Almost. The policy is to not kill it directly because that would mean taking heat. Instead he wants to kill it with delays, hoops, etc. You know. Leadership stuff.

#2 I guess if we buy from Canada it incrases greenhouse gas emmisions, but if we buy from Saudi Arabia and China buys from Canada it doesn't?

Yes. Exactly. You see, you too can learn to think like the enlightened elites!

#8 Obama is also trying to regulate the coal business out of business in the name of the left's god; climate change. He will use the machinery of government if he can't get legislation through Congress.

#9 Let's face it: none of us will be safe until we eliminate CO2, that dangerous poison, from our atmosphere. The plants will be totally pissed, of course, but what have they ever done for us?

#10 I've wondered what would happen if all the coal plants shut down in protest at the same time. I know it wont happen, but can you just imagine it?

#11 Well if the pipeline isn't approved they will use boats and trucks to ship it... which will release more C02 than a stupid goddamn pipeline will.

It isn't about CO2. It is about control over what we can buy.

#13 Simple, legislate it out of business, doesn't matter who produces it.(Unless I get MY cut)
