Who benefits the most from blocking the Keystone Pipeline?

Democrat Donor Warren Buffett owner of Berkshire Hathaway and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. Rail costs $10 more per barrel to transport than a pipeline. You pay more at the pump so Democrats can get big donations.

 

LMAO…What idiotic partisan poll questions. It must have been written by the sort of people who thought that Romney was going to win in a landslide.

 

I highly doubt they're vetoing it over principled objections to eminent domain

 

Fungible. A gallon of gas is a gallon of gas, no matter where on earth it is. Exchangeable, think of a dollar bill.

Also:

World market
World demand
World supply

The world market sets the price of oil, if world supply meets / exceeds world demand the world price drops. If world supply does not meet world demand then the world market will drive the price up.

On top of that, it will move to market anyway, just by other means and right now that means by rail through your communities, a much more dangerous proposition than a pipeline.

 

The pipeline pays royalties to states, counties, municipalities and land owners. The estimate is 2.2B per year. Based on one million barrels a day flow.

Cheers

Yes the obvious answer is The Green movement benefits most.
But a POTUS has to use the Overview.The Big Picture.Think above and
beyond the short term.But then this President couldn't even see past his
belligerent and spiteful ways when he ordered a new Veterans memorial be
gated and White House Tours Stopped.While with the other hand releasing
Illegals from prison with felonies.
Which then begs the question. Who benefits Most from Obama
being President.

 

How so? Piping the oil is greener than shipping it on trains powered by deisel fuel. THE ONLY ones benefiting are the Democratic party who received donations from wealthy donors on the promise they would block keystone.

 

Except he's also invested heavily in Suncor which will see a significant boost in profitability if the Keystone XL pipeline is approved. So Buffet wins either way.

 

Okay, you don't breath air or like drinking clean water. Only those dumb f**ks that are of the "green movement" do. When are they going to wake up to the benefits of pollution, toxins and solid carcinogenic living?

Whining, sniveling and complaining in a devisive stupor is one thing, but no you are being downright foolhardy.

Sure, the environmental movements are mislead, but maybe you can berate them into sharing the air they are trying to preserve. Will that be a benefit to you? Do you think anyone else will like that good air?

Consider for a moment that life is really not about ease, comfort and convenience. Consider it is about love and assuring those you love, the next generation, have as good an opportunity to enjoy life as your
Ancestors did or as you enjoy. Consider they might have a better opportunity IF you make the right decisions.

Try the absurd concept of unity. Consider all political elements are grossly mislead, deceived, deprived and manipulated INTENTIONALLY!

Consider that free speech actually has an ultimate purpose, and that is to create unity.

Consider there are proposals for unity and action that actually make sense and amount to a fully lawful and peaceful revolution.

Now that's funny. It's funny because he honestly believes that.

 

Where does oil come from?

Why do so many people think using oil somehow retards our ability to conduct research and development of alternate forms of energy? Have we lost the ability to multi task?

Should we just shut down the majority of our economic activity and roll back our lifestyle until these alternate forms of energy are developed?

I just saw on the news that a transformer on a telephone pole exploded and started a house fire. We should halt the practice of using electricity in that form from this day forward.

 

Actually just the opposite is true. The Chinese are quite comfortable watching us do things which help ensure our economy remains stagnant.

 

Democrats want oil to be priced so high that even windmills, solar panels and electric cars are more economical than gasoline even without further research and development.

 

Coca Cola, since they require Polar bears to sell their (*)(*)(*)(*) product.

 

Wow - where did you get THAT??


I have a corporation. If I choose to use your land you can not possibly think that is similar to the government deciding there is justification for a project in the national interest.

Allowing a military base to expand, a water line feeding a city, etc. - these are legitimate uses that have no corporate analogy.

 

And then they want to carp and moan about how high oil prices are hurting the poor and middle class.

 

Only when there is a Republican President they can blame. 2-3 years ago when oil was high, didn't seem to warrant much mention in the media.

 

Every state has to first approve of the project. Each states legislatures voted whether to approve the pipeline project. Its the state that approves of the use of eminent domain. The electric transmission lines benefit the power company. The rail line benefits the railroad company. The owners of stadiums benefit from the stadium. All use eminent domain to get projects built. Pipeline company is no different.

 

A liberal can claim that falling oil prices hurts the economy causing harm to the poor and middle class, then claim that rising oil prices hurts the economy and causes harm to the poor and middle class. Liberals can always have it both ways.

 

Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) currently connects the US with Canada in oil transport. Owned by Berkshire Hathaway...BNSF transports 500,000 barrels a day.

"Warren Buffett’s Burlington Northern Santa Fe LLC is among U.S. and Canadian railroads that stand to benefit from the Obama administration’s decision to reject TransCanada Corp.’s Keystone XL oil pipeline permit."

Liberal blogs deny this however, business is business and Warren Buffet understands profit. Buffet is a huge contributor to Obama.

 

typical lib, dodges the question. "Who benefits the most from blocking the Keystone Pipeline?" Bring it....

 

So Obama's legacy is that he pulls out too early and he refuses to lay pipe?

 

I've seen liberals take a house from old people to build a shopping mall because the mall makes more tax revenue.

 

My comment was about the difference between government using eminent domain vs. corporations using eminent domain.

So, I'd need more info on how your comment relates to that. But, you may well have a case of abuse of that power.
