Keystone Pipeline

Here is another quote from an associate:

" Surely you have read many reports about the Keystone pipeline - another of Obama's "windmills".  For reasons of their own and in most cases ignorance of the facts, many "environmentalists" continue to urge Obama not to approve the pipeline.  Consider a couple of facts:

1.  The heavy crude from the Canadian tar sands has been moving regularly to the refineries on the Gulf Coast by rail.  It turns out that Warren Buffet saw an investment opportunity and took a major interest in a railroad that moves the heavy crude into the United States.

2.  The refineries on the Gulf Coast are equipped to process the heavy crude.  They were originally fitted to handle the heavy crude from Venezuela which is similar to the Canadian source.

3. Is it not a smart move to displace crude from Venezuela, which is not friendly, with crude from our friends in Canada?

The best I can say of the so called "environmentalists" is: "Ignorance is bliss".
