"This is why republicans(for no reason besides political ) want to reintroduce the keystone XL pipeline bill"
So creating jobs is a bad political agenda? It's obvious you don't know what you're talking about! The only reason, and I repeat only reason we want the keystone XL pipeline is because it will create thousands of jobs.

Now which party only thinks about themselves? And which party doesn't care about others?
Here's a quote from the link above:
"Patterson Pump Company manufactures safety equipment that would secure the almost 12,000 miles of pipeline waiting to be built. Its Toccoa, Ga.?based facility is the largest private employer in the town. Patterson?s production line is only one part of a much longer supply chain that includes the companies that make component parts for the equipment and the transportation networks that deliver the parts and the finished products. For Patterson Pump and the dozens of other manufacturers in the supply chain, Keystone equals jobs for decades to come."
So us republicans only care about rich people, right? The keystone XL pipeline would create manufacturing jobs, jobs that help grow the middle class.
As for your second paragraph, I don't think it belongs in a thread about the environment. But I will say that no, I haven't lost sleep over it, because I think it was one of obama's best moves yet.
And another quote:
"Even President Obama?s own administration recognizes Keystone?s positive jobs impact. The final State Department review found that the pipeline would create upward of 42,000 jobs during the construction period alone, and it would do so without a significant environmental impact, according to the State Department?s report. Economists, meanwhile, have found that the pipeline would create 20,000 manufacturing and construction jobs and an additional 118,000 spin-off jobs. There is no lack of evidence to justify Keystone?s capacity to fuel job creation, as President Obama claimed last year. Our companies? jobs would count among those 42,000?real names and faces to us."
