Keystone XL project up or down??
NAM(National association of Manufactures) has estimated that project would create 20,000 construction jobs plus over 100,000 total jobs? These #'s have been challenged by others as being inflated. Few jobs would be permanent?
In N.Dakota where part of the project has been completed, only 11% of local labor was used. The steel for the project came from Canada and India.
States would do well with the project from the taxes the line would pay. Nebraska's Gov. is not pleased because it rolls over a major Aquifer??
The Dept of state impact study has said it would have little impact on the environment?
The State dept. will decide by the end of the year as to issue a permit or not.
With the high cost of extracting some of this oil the price of oil MAY have to remain.
high.
Build the da-mm thing--Some of my Union brothers and sisters need the work......LOL
