Oil shipments on Wednesday began to flow through Keystone XL's southern leg.TransCanada announced the start of oil deliveries to Gulf Coast refineries on Wednesday morning. The shipments run from Cushing, Okla. to Nederland, Texas.While not as controversial as its northern leg, which is still under review by the State Department, the decision by the Obama administration to allow the flow of oil through the southern Keystone leg is stirring controversy.Green groups like the Sierra Club blasted the administration for failing to adequately review the pipeline.“Today’s announcement is a painful example of President Obama’s all of the above energy plan at work: polluted air and water, carbon pollution, and the ever present threat of poisoned drinking water for millions of Texas and Oklahoma families," Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune said in a statement.
i am totally embarrassed, i do not remember any news that he was going to approve this thing. i have been referring to an article of how unsafe it was
i have a brain tumor but something this big hard to think i would miss it especially because of my objection to it.
"Expediting KXL south was not the mark of a president who really 'gets' climate change," McKibben said in a statement on Wednesday.The administration still faces a decision on approving Keystone's northern leg, which would carry crude from the oil sands in Alberta to Gulf Coast refineries.The northern leg require approval from the president because it crosses over the U.S. border with Canada.
i can really comment so much because this is my first hearingabout 15 mins. ago and to find out there are to sections north and south i write pretty much everyday but this totally escaped me can't believe it was a flas story one paragraph one time. i have to find out what the hell happened for Pres. to o this.
he has to know if there is a pin hole leak or anything republicans will be all over the blame game like a lion on a pork chop. i also want to know what does the country get we know the billions big oil and our invested politicians will get but what about us at the pump and at home?
