Hmm… this is ‘interesting’…….Kind of adds a little ‘dimension’ to the topic-, like “the Rest of the Story”.<\/p>\n
And pokes a bunch of holes in the ‘environmental’ platform!<\/p>\n
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad owns all of the rail lines in the US connecting to western Canada, and they haul 80%+ of the crude from Canada to the Midwest and Texas, or charge other Short Line railroads a fee to use their tracks.<\/p>\n
BNSF charges $30 per barrel to haul the oil,\u00a0where the Keystone pipeline would cost $10 by the State Departments own estimates.<\/p>\n
BNSF is owned by Berkshire-Hathaway whose chairman is Warren Buffet.<\/p>\n
In the last 2 election cycles, Buffet gave extensively to democrat causes and candidates,\u00a0including $40K+ to Obama in 2012. He also bundled and hosted numerous fundraisers for Obama.<\/p>\n
If anyone here believes the pipeline isn’t being blocked by Obama on Buffets behalf, you’re totally wrong.<\/p>\n
Buffet could stand to lose $2B+ a year if the pipeline goes in, and he makes that same amount every year it’s delayed.<\/p>\n
So to protect his buddy Buffet’s coffers so the Democraps will keep getting checks,\u00a0Obama is willing to let Canada sell it’s oil to China, and to hell with the Americans getting a chance to have cheaper gasoline prices.<\/p>\n
This is crony capitalism at it’s finest, and what is making people mad at our government and capitalist system.<\/p>\n
