Keystone would be great for the U.S.! It could create a few permanent minimum wage jobs that would generate zero tax revenue to compensate for all of the massive destruction it would cause.

*Is our latest drive-by troll really trying to imply that Obama is hurting the price of gasoline?

The pipeline was planned to the Gulf for export. There are plenty of oil refineries in the northern section of the United States that could have processed the crude for the U.S. market.
