Newt is a bit mistaken about the geography of the pipeline-- it won't end up at Vancouver-- but his point is a good one.

It's about America's energy security. His "point" is a false one. Nothing has changed - TransCanada is going ahead with their plans to reroute the pipeline same as ever and will reapply for a permit - as Obama has stated - when completed. Quote

TimG Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 His "point" is a false one. Nothing has changed - TransCanada is going ahead with their plans to reroute the pipeline same as ever and will reapply for a permit - as Obama has stated - when completed.It is all about constructing narratives. Obama delayed the entire pipeline because be wanted a sop to placate the hollywood liberals. If Obama wanted a narrative that he cared about the US would have given provisional approval for the pipeline contruction to start in areas where no environmental review is required. He choose not to because that was not the narrative that would have kept the hollywood liberals happy. The Republicans are building on that narrative to show that Obama is more interested in getting re-elected than in what is good for the US. Quote
Guest American Woman Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 It is all about constructing narratives. Obama delayed the entire pipeline because be wanted a sop to placate the hollywood liberals. Nebraskans - where the pipeline would/could affect their water supply and livelihood - have objected to the pipeline as it was. That's been recognized, even by TransCanada. If Obama wanted a narrative that he cared about the US would have given provisional approval for the pipeline contruction to start in areas where no environmental review is required. Again, Nebraska is part of the U.S. - caring about Nebraska, caring about Nebraskans, IS caring about the U.S.; and frankly, and I understand this, I'm quite sure your concern is with Canada and Canadians and how this affects you - not about if Obama cares about the U.S. or not. He choose not to because that was not the narrative that would have kept the hollywood liberals happy. He chose not to because before the plans for rerouting it are complete, giving approval at this point would be like signing a blank contract. Who in their right mind does that? The Republicans are building on that narrative to show that Obama is more interested in getting re-elected than in what is good for the US. The Republicans created a false scenario so they could play on it and portray it as something it's not. And it's working. We have kimmy giving Newt approval on this, presumably because it affects Canadians, when she's had nothing but scathing comments about him. Nothing has changed except TransCanada has to reapply for the permit. It will still be approved - or not approved - same as before Obama was forced by a deadline to approve or disapprove the current permit. Quote
TimG Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) Nebraskans - where the pipeline would/could affect their water supply and livelihood - have objected to the pipeline as it was. That's been recognized, even by TransCanada.The objections were complete absurd and not based on any real risk assessment. Even with that, the Nebraskans are in support of the re-routing and asked that it be approved as quickly as possible.Again, Nebraska is part of the U.S. - caring about Nebraska, caring about NebraskansComplete nonsense. This has nothing to do with "caring" about Nebraskans. They are nothing but convenient pawns. At least one environmental writer has mused that enviros have made a deal with a devil by siding with the NIMBYs in Nebraska because it will make it much more difficult to get the transmission lines/wind turbines/solar plants built because they need so much land.He chose not to because before the plans for rerouting it are complete, giving approval at this point would be like signing a blank contract. Who in their right mind does that?There is no rational reason to believe the the re-routing would not be approved. Pipelines are low risk endeavours are only opposed because for enviro-loons believe energy is provided by unicorns and pixies. The only reason to refuse to give approval for the pipeline is politics which means the Republican narrative is 100% correct. Edited January 22, 2012 by TimG Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 ....The Republicans created a false scenario so they could play on it and portray it as something it's not. And it's working. We have kimmy giving Newt approval on this, presumably because it affects Canadians, when she's had nothing but scathing comments about him. Sure did, and TransCanada finds itself as a pawn in a much larger game, a game that will be decided by the Americans. It is expected that Canadians would have their own self interest "optics" about the matter. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
waldo Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 It is all about constructing narratives... kept the hollywood liberals happy. yes, your narrative is showing through, loud and clear! The objections were complete absurd and not based on any real risk assessment. you mean the "risk assessment" per the TransCanada influenced assessment? That one? Or... the "risk assessment" associated with all those oil industry lobbyists with past associations to Clinton? Or... the "risk assessment" from the failed/flawed assessment? Those risk assessments?
