Speaking of fcking oil Obama told Canada to fck off with their oil and now Canada is building a pipeline to the west coast to sell to Asian markets. "Judging by Mr. Obama’s call on Keystone XL, and kindred energy calls, the great age of capitalist accomplishment in the New World appears to be coming to a close. Exhausted by political gridlock, bureaucratic regulation and progressive populism (which gives everyone a veto on everything), the U.S. seems incapable of imagining, or doing, heroic things. Big business is widely regarded as a criminal enterprise, profits as the proceeds of crime and shareholders as co-conspirators. Sic transit gloria. Let the Empire State Building serve as an iconic reminder of the America that once was. It was 1930. The architect produced the design plans in two weeks – and 3,400 workers built the world’s highest skyscraper in 410 days. Government didn’t get involved until it cut the ribbon. It would take a decade to complete a comparable project today – as the World Trade Center site attests. Americans appear to live more and more of their lives in the Country of Can’t, in the Age of No." theglobeandmail.com

Oil is both valuable and fungible, so certain folks will be enabled to create mischief for a long time to come. If Team USA allows sufficient pipeline capacity from the Canadian oil sands, we'll be less vulnerable compared to Europe and Asia. I do believe TransCanada made a tactical mistake by routing the proposed Keystone XL pipeline thru the Nebraska Sand Hills. The odds of approval are better now that the route has been revised. Of course, all bets are off if the worst-case climate-change scenario comes true! :o)
