In this election year, those of us who are political junkies know that the economy and jobs has been the number one issue. So when a jobs creating initiative through the development of the XL Pipeline rears its head, what did Obama and the Democrats do? They blocked it!
They blocked it because their environmentalist special interests would've crucified them in elections. What was a result of blocking the XL Pipeline? Communist China would get the oil deal from Canada.
What has happened recently with Canadian oil? Oh yeah...the Communist China oil company is buying a Canadian oil company. And Senator Chuck Schumer of New York is now vowing to block the China-Canada deal? My question for Senator Schumer is: What did you expect to happen when you and your fellow Democrats blocked the XL Pipeline?
As a Conservative, I am completely fine with finding new alternative sources of energy. However, get the government out of the energy business, and let the free market find different energy sources that will work and can compete in the marketplace.
Fossil fuels will still be the energy sources of the near future because we know they work. And they will be, and should be, expanded in the free market. Decades later there might be a new source of energy that the free market will find. Americans need to realize the new fossil fuel technologies that have been developed and improved over the years actually have very little negative environmental impact.
