Keystone Delays Means More Carbon Emissions : 7.4 Million Tons of CO2

I don't know how many times we have to broach this subject before the people of this country demand their 'right' to be heard. 'Mr Obama sign this bill now'. But then as we all should know, Mr Obama is not about what's best for country, it what's best for Mr Obama and his progressive socialist ideology.

Know this as a given, Mr Obama is a progressive socialist or worse. And given his history we should be very worried about his last two years. As we have seen the damage that he has brought on this country over last 6 years, and now with no worry about reelection, Mr Obama is set to bring our total demise.

Can't happen? Have you forgotten he was elected and reelected by million that believe he is the 'one'.

Delaying Keystone Means More Carbon Emissions

The Keystone XL pipeline bill is heading to the president's desk for his signature -- or his veto. Doug Hochberg and Sang Kim of the American Action Forum have broken down the numbers on the Keystone delay. The result? Higher carbon dioxide emissions and fewer jobs.
According to Hochberg and Kim:

• Americans have been waiting for 2,338 days for approval of the pipeline.
• There are 40,000 construction jobs waiting in the wings -- all they need are the president's signature.
• Congress has passed 9 bills approving the pipeline or trying to speed up the approval process.

Much opposition to the pipeline has centered on environmental objections, despite that the president's own State Department has indicated the pipeline would have no impact on carbon pollution. As long as the project is delayed (thus requiring oil transport via rail car), 7.4 million additional tons of carbon dioxide will be released into the atmosphere.
