Pretty sure this has been discussed elsewhere, but oh well, here's a new thread:

CBC: Keystone XL pipeline proposal rejected — for now

Not bad. Apparently they will be able to try again with another route, but hopefully that means even that will be a less disruptive one considering the fact that this one got denied.

Never thought I'd be saying this to Obama, but in the words of Tim and Eric...

...Great Job!

"Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy **** we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off." - Tyler Durden

Oh man, I thought this was about Keystone XL cans of beer.

Nevermind.

It sort of is: if the pipeline was to rupture around any source of drinking water, the water would taste as bad as Keystone!

There are many in Washington DC that will hammer Obama HARD on the loss of the one hundred thousand new jobs that will not be created. We, as a Country need to walk a fine line. If we fall off to the one side, we will declare war on the ecology of the planet, and if we fall off to the other side, the social costs could be staggering.
I wish that I could have found the corporate backing for my solar powered blimp that I wanted to fly around the world without burning a single drop of fuel back in 1987. That might have started to change attitudes about fuel choices back then. Billy Henderson, the then Executive Director of the Sun-N-Fun Fly in, thought it was a great idea, but we could not stir up ANY backing at all. It didn't shock me, only a year earlier, the third attempt on my life was made over an engine design that I invented, for an engine that only had fourteen parts, seven that moved, that would NOT break, (we tried), and did not burn a Hydrocarbon fuel.
