Obama Refuses Keystone XL Pipeline

Canada is now looking to Asian countries to market its abundance of oil, natural gas and minerals as plans to build the proposed Keystone XL pipeline have stalled with the Barack Obama administration. Prime Minister Stephen Harper will travel to China next month to discuss selling Canada's bounty to the rapidly growing nation.

The preferred initial plan was to build the $7 billion Keystone pipeline to deliver Alberta's oil sands crude to refineries in Texas on the Gulf of Mexico. Harper reasoned that the U.S. government would prefer to deal with a friendly neighbor to help meet its energy needs while creating thousands of jobs.

The new plan would market to China and Asian countries through the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline that would transport Alberta's oil and natural gas to British Columbia for shipment by tankers.

Obama is bending to extremist environmentalists who want no pipelines and no drilling. His own administration has said the pipeline is safe.

The Keystone XL pipeline could bring needed jobs to America. It would also mean a more stable supply of oil. Obama doesn't care. His agenda is green and oil doesn't fit.
