Trump signs executive orders to advance Keystone XL, Dakota Access pipelines
2017-01-25
[CNBC] President Donald Trump on Tuesday took steps to advance construction of two oil pipeline projects that have been fiercely disputed and were delayed under his predecessor.

Trump signed executive orders that will make it easier for TransCanada to construct the Keystone XL pipeline and for Energy Transfer Partners to build the final uncompleted portion of the Dakota Access pipeline.
The president said both executive actions were subject to terms and conditions to be negotiated by the United States. He also signed three additional executive orders to expedite environmental reviews for "high priority infrastructure projects," streamline the permitting process for domestic manufacturing and to insist pipeline companies buy materials from U.S. companies.

Shares of Energy Transfer Partners and TransCanada both rose more than 3.5 percent on Tuesday.

#7  said gas cheaper for the poor folks, which is good. And it might lessen their dependence on Federal assistance.

Bobby, do you really think Proggies and Greenies that that those are good things? They want poor folk living in hovels begging for crumbs to enhance control.

#6  It's about Saudi and Russian money shutting down American energy and using Greens who knee-jerk oppose western civilization as their pawns.

#4  But this might lower the cost of gasoline, which is bad. On the other hand, Progressives, it might make said gas cheaper for the poor folks, which is good. And it might lessen their dependence on Federal assistance.

#2  Infrastructure jobs don't have to be government-financed.
It is so sad to see people working so hard to block projects like these because they believe they are protecting the environment - new pipelines are significantly safer for the environment than alternative existing transportation systems like old pipelines and railroads: is your new car more likely to get you where you are going safely and efficiently than your 1946 Buick? Do you spill more water carrying it in buckets to water your plants or using the hose? Etc. Fools.
