Obama has
always been an eloquent speaker with the ability to explain complex issues. He
is a world leader in sounding the alarm on the issue of client change. However,
sometimes he talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. Two examples: Shell
giving license to drill in the Arctic and his
reticence to bit the bullet on the Keystone Pipeline.
Among the
facts about the Keystone are these: It is designed to transmit oil wrenched
from tar sands in Canada to
refineries in Texas
Last week
on MSNBC, Rachel Maddow really nailed it and came-up with an alternative job
producing program which would solve an enormous environmental crisis, create
jobs and make every one safer: upgrade and revitalize existing pipeline and
transmission facilities for oil (i.e. railroads) the aged condition of which is
currently causing death and pollution.
Win win. We
create jobs and ameliorate, if not totally cure, the environmental disaster of
current oil transmission whether by railroad or pipeline.
