Goracle Praises Obama For Rejecting Keystone Pipeline…
ManBearPig speaks.
(E2 Wire) — Al Gore says President Obama made the right call when he denied a permit for the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline.
The former vice president, on his blog Monday evening, lauded environmentalists who battled TransCanada Corp.’s project to bring oil sands crude from Alberta to Gulf Coast refineries.
“This is an important win not only for the thousands of activists who risked arrest — and for the hundreds who went to jail — but for all of us who want to try and roll back the effects of the climate crisis, not magnify them,” Gore said.

I’m cereal!
Global Warming > Climate Change > Climate Crisis
What’s next? Change the name when the words no longer work or suit you, I guess.
MAJOR ASSHOLE ALERT. where do these people get the courage to go to sleep at night. If I told this many bald face lies and stole that much money from people selling snake oil, I ‘d only feel safe while sleeping in a bomb shelter when I had the only key in my pocket….He must be one brave man.
How exactly is this a win for the climate criers? the oil will go to China and be burned there… Dumbasses
I don’t give a f*ck about the “thousands” who might have been arrested. I care about the tens of thousands who would have gotten steady employment.
Riiight, because moving crude with train cars releases way less “greenhouse gas” than through a pipeline. Oh, wait……
Birds of a feather …. two lying, liberal pigs, wallowing in the same muck. Both of these idiots have sold their souls .. I eagerly await reports of their fall.
I guess the private jet he rides in is solar powered…??
@Andrea,
I read on Drudge this morning that Warren Buffet’s (Nebraska based) rail companies stand to make a lot of money since the pipeline has been stopped. Warren Buffet backs Obama and now he’s going to make out like a bandit. Kind of like Soros’s oil interests in Brazil. While everyone is saying the pipeline deal is being done on behalf of the environmentalists, it actually helps Buffet. Follow the money, always follow the money.
but for all of us who want to try and roll back the effects of the climate crisis
======================================
the only thing in crisis… is Fatboy Gore’s bank account….
–
well that … and those shirt buttons around his giant abdomen….
Hey Al…
tell us about how the arctic was going to be ice free this year…
the people of Nome Alaska would love to hear that story again…

Mark Smith, CEO of Vitus Marine LLC, the fuel supplier that arranged to have the Russian tanker and its crew deliver the fuel, described the challenges as substantial, partly because winter has been especially harsh in the region this year. He said that moving the tanker even with the help of the Coast Guard Cutter Healy through more than 300 miles of pack-ice was a “very profound obstacle.”
==================================
Barry and Al are both ineducable
The fat bastid is one of the biggest energy pigs on the planet !
Gore is a enviromental extremists and a con-man he is supported by all the watermellon enviromentalists(green on outside red inside)he needs to have his two awards taken away and his latest book ASSUALT ON REASON proves he has a chip on his shoulder THE BIG BLOCK OF WOOD ON TOP OF HIS NECK with eyes,nose and mouth carved on and two big ears as well
moron’s moron. Now MORE alleged environmental damage will occur because osama obama cancelled the project. It will plow through more land and take longer shipping routes.
Letter from Valero exec to employees
Date: January 24, 2012
To: Valero Employees
From: Bill Klesse
Subject: Keystone XL Pipeline Statement
As you know, the Obama administration decided last week to deny TransCanada’s application to ship crude oil via the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to the Gulf Coast. Valero has planned to be a shipper and purchaser of that oil since 2008, and obviously we were disappointed in the decision. We issued a statement in response to questions from the media, and I wanted to share it with you in case you get questions from friends or business partners, and so that you would know why Valero supports the Keystone XL pipeline. This is the statement:
Despite the uncertainty and political fighting over the Keystone XL pipeline, Valero has continued to invest in its U.S. refining operation. In 2011 we spent nearly $3 billion on projects, and for 2012 our capital expenditure budget is over $3 billion. These expenditures are keeping our employees on the job and putting additional people to work. To reference two of our refineries, at Port Arthur, Texas, we have 1,600 contractors working on an expansion project, and at St. Charles Parish, Louisiana, we have another 1,000 contractors working on a separate project. We need this kind of economic activity to accelerate to help all Americans.
This illustrates why the federal government’s rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline is so absurd. There are pipelines in every neighborhood all across America. The administration’s decision was not about pipelines, it was about the misguided beliefs that Canadian oil sands development should be stopped and that fossil fuel prices should increase to make alternative energy more attractive. Instead, we should be impressed with how well the oil sands engineering and recovery technology has advanced, and the economic benefits this development brings. Having more oil available in the marketplace has the potential to lower prices for consumers. As an independent refiner, Valero buys all of the oil we process. Due to the administration’s misguided policies, refiners like Valero will have to buy more oil from other sources outside the U.S. and Canada. Consumers will bear the additional shipping cost, not to mention the additional greenhouse gas emissions and political risks.
With all the issues facing our country, it is absolutely unbelievable our federal government says no to a company like TransCanada that is willing to spend over $7 billion and put Americans to work on a pipeline. The administration’s decision throws dirt into the face of our closest ally and largest trading partner.
The point above is that it is not about pipelines as many pipelines cross the Ogallala Aquifer, in the Great Plains region, and, in fact, there is already significant oil and gas production in the area covered by the aquifer. This is politics at its worst.
Thanks for your support.
Seems that the East coast was to be under water by now too.
@ Jimco
Bingo! We read the same article. Why isn’t this info showcased on the Today show?///////////
If we can’t make these two irrelevant, civilization is doomed, and not by climate change.
Gore??? really??? he lives in a 3 Million dollar house, over looking the ocean, up by S.F. California—his carbon foot print is larger than the whole world put together—wants you stupid flat earth to give him mo money—rush and get him and Bob’s tv station through a cable company near you—what a bunch of idiots follow this baboon—
The money train rolls on …
What’s in it for me .. ?
How much can squeeze them for .. ?
Lets line them up & suck them dry …
bud – Self deception … consuming – user
flower – Deception for $ale … marketing – dealer
fruit – Corporate forced gang deception … branding / production – cartel

Apparently, the list of those who stand to make large profits from the non building of the XL Keystone begins to grow….
Oh BARF!!
