So blue states need a bailout. Red states get them every year FFS

What's the difference. Virginia has already lost their coal jobs and they're not coming back. All that coal will stay in the ground where mother nature intended it to be.

@MutigBernhart you aren't smart enough to talk to me

@jacobclark1457 pipelines that cross our border is strictly in the federal jurisdiction

@drewb2901 they also don't seem to care where that 4 trillion went.

@daversj more than decades. Probably since we became a country

@bullythebooks only an idiot would see that as a rational thought. It's like when cars were invented and people who wanted them got barred from riding a horse. I am not a hypocrite for wanting my government to change our society to a better fuel source. Your point is as dumb as it can be.

@tylercalvert1457 another person not smart enough to refute what I say. If you ever have to default to name calling you already lost the argument

@EJ257IHI ugh red states pay federal taxes just like blue ones. But, they end up getting far more federal dollars spent in their states than they send. It's been that way for forever. Keep up.

David Hansen well the fact you don't understand the word bigotry shows you're not smart enough to asses whether I am intelligent or not.

@Whereyouabouts ToBe blue states always send more dollars to the federal level than they get back. Yes they have infastructure issues but that's because they are the oldest states. Seeing as they were building Erica long before many red states were even settled this shouldnt be an issue.

David Hansen what makes you think you are smarter. You cannot even come up with a retort to my post. Don't bother replying, you will just embarrass yourself

David Hansen no I haven't. Geeze man read your own definition FFS. Where was I prejudice to a person for being in a group? I told people who called ME stupid that they weren't smart enough to make that assesment. Anyone who makes that assesment on such little evidence is NOT very smart. Care to retract?

@victorhausauer3018 the oil sands are being mined, but the area they have to strip is bigger than some states. If they had capacity to transport more they would easily be able to meet demand. Honestly, I think that's their point in not approving the pipeline. Their federal government does not want it extracted whereas the provinces with the oil do.

@michaelgarcia6520 didn't god bury them deep in the ground away from us? If he intended for us to utilize it wouldn't we have had access earlier?

@jacobclark1457 you guys just see black and white hey. You should know we are already getting their oil. You should also know that pipeline would get rid of thousands of permanent jobs in the trucking and rail industry that is already moving it. That pipeline is not for our benefit, it's for the oil companies.

@eashby22 I thought this was about jobs?

@Mr_Luca82 mismanagement from the last administration should not reflect this one's ability to disperse the money that we all need.

@victorhausauer3018 we are shutting it down due to the pollutants being released into the air. The oil sands from Canada is limping along due to their inability to bring the product to market. They use rail and trucks but that is far too slow to ramp up production the way they want.

@bluelarry1674 how are we independent when we would be relying on Canadian oil. That's the point, if we either built a crap load of solar or modern nuclear, along with updating the grid, we would be energy independent.

@andrewslagle1974 maybe safe for the worker but not the environment

@jacobclark1457 I never said they don't have a leg to stand on for compensation. My point was they cannot sue to have it built

Sorry slick but all the handouts to the billionaires come from republicans not democrats

@jimmybarnes2753 sure. Probably an 80/20 split though

@victorhausauer3018 sorry I should explain myself better. Canada always knew it had the oilsands. They never did much with it because the cost to extract outweighed the profit. Then oil started going up and one small mine and one pipeline to Vancouver got built, not sure when maybe 60's. Then oil started going way up and when it was $150 per barrel they wanted to take it all but they couldn't move it. British Columbia said no to more pipelines and now we are too. Landlocked oil and no federal will in either country to extract it.

@craigthompson455 I wish hydrogen was but I would say nuclear. New reactors can actually run on what we have as waste.

Brian Cameron when did I say I wanted that
