#1 This whole thing is beyond words. I really don't want to end up in the sink trap today.

This was once the land of the Free and the Brave. Until Obama started shutting down sites without due process, wasn't it?

#4 Maybe China can become less dependent on mid-east oil. Not enough to lessen their interest in the region though.

It's a lose lose for us.

#5 Unush Panda7572, that's not what John meant.

Glad to see the ~~operant conditioning~~ site rules are working...

#6 The Greenies assertion that this will decrease emissions is really stupid. The oil will be sent to Asia by tankers which emit "Bad Stuff" and then the oil itself will emit "Bad Stuff". This will increase emissions. Bugwits.

#7 #6 The Greenies assertion that this will decrease emissions is really stupid.

Yup. The Greenies "feel" they are saving the planet; it is the new religion. Their position is not particularly well-reasoned out or based on good science. Science has become a corrupted process in their hands, agenda driven and politicized. They would have us all living as the Taliban live--somewhere in the 7th century.

#8 Relax. There is lots of oil for everyone.

Suppose Obama gave Keystone the green light today. No doubt he would be rewarded with political media support for his economic decision. All from Canadian oil companies (who ~~are still alive~~ do not vote in US elections) and construction trade unions (in flyover states he is not going to win anyway), and upset the eviro weenies and their guilt ridden libranos who still think Algore is the best president you never had.

Moreover, the entire Green Revolution is looking more and more like Humpty Dumpty. Give Keystone the go ahead today, assured cheap oil, secure supply, and the whole green empire goes the way of Solyndra. Say nothing of the contributions that flow into BO's re-election campaign.

The Green Dream is going to collapse anyway, it just need to happen in December 2012.

#9 China's smokestackers aren't exactly the most environ cleanest, or modern.
