Keystone Pipeline: What's the Cost of Crossing American Soil?
I own mineral acres in the Bakken Field. I get a great oil payout every month. HOWEVER..one thing I learned from associating with the business of Big Oil, "Never settle for their first offer."
America should be the beneficiary of a lot more goodies than a few thousand temp jobs. Cuz right now thats all they're offering. Who knows what that number will actually be after they hire all the canadians to work on the pipeline first.
Been around and around with the Oil Cos. Guess what..THEY LIE.
Obama needs to hold out & negotiate & bargain if it takes 2-10 years.
To drag the sludge from Canada to Houston refinerys and out to sea & foreign markets, this Nation surely needs to end up being every bit an equal beneficiary in the Keystone Project as Big Oil & their globally dominate business.
What they have offered the USA is a half-assed expectation of jobs. That's It. No trusts for the future of America, no nothing.
Pay the price to turn the center of America into a super highway for Canadian sludge or go elsewhere.
Agree to regulations and strict monitoring, because as the whole thing stands, as I see it, they have offered nothing but a twinkle from their gold toothed smile as they push President Obama to sign on the dotted line.
Oil cos. are used to getting what they want anywhere they want in the world. They are also prepared to negotiate. What are they willing to give to cross American soil?
Obama should sacrifice nothing of this Nation.
This should be the chess game of his life.
The path through the center of America is worth what?
Thanks
