The enviro-weenies are crying about a planned pipeline to ship crude from the Canadian tar-sands to the Gulf Coast of the US. The Obama administration is dragging its feet rather than allow the permits to build the pipeline (and the thousands of “critical infrastructure” jobs that will come with it).
Canada is getting tired of waiting and are threatening to build a pipeline to the West Coast where the crude can be loaded on tankers and sent to China.
Political hardball at its best.
All that oil is gonna be exported somewhere. May as well be here…
