The Republicans must love this. They have some serious ammo now if Obama doesn't push through approving this before the election.

TransCanada has made compromise after compromise, but it is never good enough.

Who is John Galt?

“This has to become more than simply a delay,” trumpeted Greenpeace. “We will work to ensure this day is remembered as the beginning of the end for the tar sands.”
“Good luck with your new pipeline route,” railed an activist from Texas.


“The U.S. environmental movement will be watching. We will be relentless. And most importantly, on environmental issues, we are in total support of our brothers in Canada.”

The powerful New York-based Natural Resources Defense Council, which led the anti-Keystone XL crusade in the United States, has already mobilized its members to stir the pot in Canada’s West. They’ve sent emails — 60,000 of them — to British Columbia Premier Christy Clark.

Memo to pipeline war watchers: Northern Gateway is no Keystone XL.
As badly as the anti-oil lobby wants to export its campaign model to Canada, it may find the rugged Canadian North is different from the White House’s front lawn, where many XL protests were staged.

Both pipelines’ goal is to link growing oil sands production to new markets, but Northern Gateway, proposed by Calgary-based Enbridge Inc., is a Canadian project, by a Canadian company, in Canada, under Canada’s own terms. It’s a $5.5-billion pipeline that would carry 550,000 barrels a day of oil sands crude from Bruderheim, Alta., near Edmonton, through B.C.’s sparsely populated interior, to Kitimat, on the coast.

Funny how all the idiots have come out in full force to let us all know how stupid they are.
