It might be good to take another look at the Pipeline... It keeps the oil in our own region, it provides a lot of Jobs, and it supports our Northern neighbor.. As long as it's well monitored, I've not seen it as a truly evil thing... Just another tool that takes tanker trucks off our highways, railroads... Look at pipeline maps someday, there are already a maze of other pipelines, why is this any different, other than currently political gaming?

When the REPUBLICAN Governor of Nebraska is wary of the pipeline, where does the Congress get the power to force Nebraska to build it???

Anti-Pipeline Dave Heineman Should Not Run for Senate in Nebraska

One of the biggest political and policy winners for Republicans is their strong support for expeditious approval of the Keystone Pipeline. Their unified support for this propitious project has provided voters with a sharp contrast to Obama’s casual disregard for private-sector job creation and cheap energy for consumers. Hence, it is a no-brainer that the pipeline issue should be used as a rallying cry for all Republicans running for elected office in 2012.

In that vein, Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman would be wise to remain in Lincoln, and discard any aspirations to run for Senate.

Toward the end of the summer, amidst pressure from members of his own administration, Obama was on the verge of signing off on the deal. The State Department had published yet another favorable environmental impact study, and even Energy Secretary Steven Chu seemed to concede that opposition to the pipeline was indefensible. But then came the vociferous protestations from Obama’s base; greenies, hippies, Hollywood bimbos, and….Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman.
