Exactly, we can't turn our backs on any source of energy, much less one that would supply 700 thousand barrels of oil every day. It was an attempt by RV to confuse the real issue which is that this administration has denied oil and jobs to thousands of people who desperately need them. This idea that a pipeline would somehow be an unjustified nuisance or an unacceptable threat to the environment is at best an absurd overreach by the left. That is the premise of this thread BTW, Obama will never allow the pipeline to go forward because of the La-La Lander's irrational stand against the use of fossil fuels. Hence the all the foot dragging and hem hawing. Heck, this thread is already a year and a half old, much less the smoke and mirrors associated with the stonewalling. Anybody who wants to be reasonable can see the truth.

Using that line of rationale, we shouldn't be putting gas stations all over the place because just one of them would be a drop in the bucket compared to total consumption. This is America, let's bring it on and vote out the loons.

That's the rub, it wouldn't be for us. It would be coming through us, to a port in the Gulf, to get loaded on a ship, and taken overseas. That's where the republican lie comes into play. This is strictly a political stunt by the right. This oil does not help the US.
