In a perfect world we wouldn't use ANY fossil fuels.

But we AREN'T in a perfect world and we DO use them and now with the price of oil down 50% we will use MORE of them.

And Keystone WILL bring a lot of jobs to the U.S.

Refineries are already running at capacity so we'll need more refineries and more workers in each of them.

More workers to fill the tankers.

More tankers, more workers to man the tankers.

More people to do the extra paperwork.

As far as Ogallala, it probably won't matter because that aquifer will still be good for the next 30 years or so until global warming changes the climate so much that all the crops in the western hemisphere will be grown in Canada anyway because drought and excessive heat will make it impossible to grow anything in the west of the U.S.
