To be honest, I'm not thrilled about the pipeline either, but if I were the leader of the country & was responsible for securing sources of fuel strategically to protect supply in case the Middle East falls apart ( which is in all likelihood a possibilty if we stop inserting ourselves in conflicts), we're going to need that pipeline as protection from depleteing our reserves should a major disruption occurs. Maybe it wouldn't overall affect prices should nothing disrupt supply, but I think it's foolish and niave to not prepare for a disruption. We need it to keep the movement and distribution of at the very least food- to keep people from turning crazy if food & water become undeliverable- or scarce. Obama does not think strategically about these things- only about what he deems a "worthwhile" project. Why doesn't Obama talk more about Natural Gas vehicles???? They are clean, we have tons of it? Many buses run on it now. He's hung up on solar & wind. The largest solar plant produces like 50/60 Joules of power, the average coal burning power plant- 600 Joules. The batteries to the electric cars aren't affordable. The market isn't there, & neither is technology (to make it affordable). Obama made speeches about how Bush cared about his projects at the expense of the inner city child- don't seem to be a concern to Obama. Obama can blow 500 million on a company he had plenty of warning on that was going to fail and run out of cash. Instead of "making jobs for teachers, building falling down bridges, repairing roads - he put our hard earned tax dollars on something that had less chance for success than a roulette table. The list goes on- but none of you will ever hold him accountable in a manner you want the Wall Strret Companies who bet on risky investments to be accountable. In any other corporate position this would be mass leadership failure. Yet you make excuses for him "because you like him". Doen't matter if the tax hike proposal really doesn't address why Warren Buffet pays so little in taxes, it doesn't matter if Jon Corzine whom Obama sought business advice drive M&F Global's investors money into the ground, and illegally moved 200 million to foreign accounts to cover loses, and it doesn't matter that the head of GE is another one of Obama's advisors, and GE doesn't pay corporate taxes AND moved their X-Ray Division to China. None of you will ever hold him accountable for his hypocrisy, or will you buy the Volt or Solyndra solar panels, or will even his advisors be called on the carpet by Obama for doing the things that result in loss of tax revenue, or failing to create a green market that would make him a successful leader. All because making yourselves believe you're right is more important than seeing the truth.

We do not need that pipeline, because it will take at least ten years to become fruitful, and we would be much better off both economically and ecologically to continue working on clean energy sources which will net in many more longer lasting jobs than the pipeline would bring. If you are worried about depleting reserves, I'm surprised you aren't more interested in alternative, renewable green energy and clean water? Clean water sources, and much more important resources at that, are also depleting, and you want the taxpayers to invest in a pipeline that should any leak occur (which has already happened), would pollute the waters so completely that they could never ever be used for clean water sources ever again?

As far as natural gas goes, natural gas is clean to burn, but it is very unstable, dangerous, and explosive on the road - not a good idea for so many to be using it for transportation. Besides, the fracking method used to get to the extra natural gas is also polluting our waters, and it is also causing loud bangs in places and even small to moderate earthquakes. In the long run, green energy is the best answer to lowering prices of energy in the future. Sure, in the beginning it will be more costly, but we will all be much better for it in the future.

In a nutshell, would you rather go ahead with oil and pollution and have all humans die off by the next century, or would you rather invest in clean water and air, the lifeblood that keeps us alive? The choice is yours - choose wisely.

Ps- Nevada has arranged to work the pipeline around the area of concern. Clearly you are out of touch with the fact that all those Obama followers like you, have FAILED to do your part to create the market necessary, for Obama's investment of taxpayer's hard earned money to work. You'd think out of the legions of followers you'd all have ran out and bought more than a couple thousand of Volts! Why weren't you all buying American made Solyndra Solar panels instead of China's? Didn't you all get the memo "yes we can"? All I can say is if you all can't support his initiatives, who are you to expect everyone struggling day to day to run out and do it? Who does this stuff when there's NO ONE who can, or who Wants to buy it? Where's Jay-Z's Volt? Did he put up Solar Panels? Harrison Ford has several airplanes- brags about flying up the coast for a cheeseburger! Barbara Steisand spends $22,000 a years watering her garden- where are all these high profile "Obama we got your back" democrats? Oh yeah, the rest of us are suppose to do it, while all the people like you can lecture someone who can't afford to buy even a $2000 car about switching to greener technology. That is why this conversation really is ridiculous because you will get civil unrest with this mindset before you get results. If all those dems could follow their own advice first, the market would be there, and the prices would come down & be more affordable for the have nots. But since the dems won't, it's a mute point.
