The keystone pipeline cannot cross the border with approval from the
Secretary of State.

No, you're right, they probably didn't, and they should have. *I'm sure
there would have been plenty of Canadian customs brokers willing to fill
out the necessary forms free of charge, but all that should have been
done before the truck even left Windsor. *Doing that while the truck is
sitting at the border is just lousy planning and terrible management.

Speaking of that pipeline, that's another thing. *Everyone except the
environmentalists agree that it's a no-brainer, and even the
environmentalists agree that a pipeline is safer then shipping that oil
by sea.

Canada has enough oil to last us over 400 years so we can sell *lots of
it cuz in 400 years there will be different technologies to drive our
cars. *Canada has as much oil as Saudi Arabia, but is all mixed with
sand, and it's only within the past 20 years that they've found
efficient ways to process it, and that technology is evolving rapidly.

We've got lots of oil and you guys are buying oil from Venezuela and
Saudi Arabia and even Nigeria now. *Shipping Canadian oil to be refined
in the USA and distributed as everything from asphalt to aviation fuel
will:
1. help both of our economies,
2. lessen US independance on oil from politically unstable and
unfriendly regions,
3. reduce the potential for a much greater environmental disaster if
that oil has to be transported over water by boat, and
4. create tens of thousands of jobs during the construction and lots of
long term high paying jobs on both sides of the border.

..and your President has knowledgeable advisors that are telling him as
much.

We need to go ahead and build that pipe line to grow both of our
economies.

I agree 100% with all that you say, except that "even the
environmentalists agree that it's safer to ship oil via pipeline
than by sea". I agree it is indeed safer. But I've yet to hear
one environmentalist say it. To them virtually everything to
do with energy is bad. Even say windmills. When it finally
comes time to put them up somewhere, the environmentalists
are blocking that too....
