Keystone XL Company Sues Scumbag Obama And US For $15 Billion Under NAFTA
Keystone XL Company Sues Scumbag Obama And US For $15 Billion Under NAFTA
Despite the government itself finding there was no significant impact on the environment, Obama chose to veto legislation which would have allowed the pipeline to move forward. Keystone is claiming that the Obama regime wrongfully led them down a lengthy and expensive road of regulatory process while knowing all along they would never approve the pipeline.
TransCanada claimed that Obama spent seven years using “arbitrary and contrived” analyses and justifications to delay the pipeline for political reasons. TransCanada’s suit also says that the company had reason to believe that the pipeline would be approved before it was rejected by the Obama administration in November.
“None of that technical analysis or legal wrangling was material to the administration’s final decision,” TransCanada said in its lawsuit. “Instead, the rejection was symbolic and based merely on the desire to make the U.S. appear strong on climate change, even though the State Department had itself concluded that denial would have no significant impact on the environment.”
President Barack Obama rejected the pipeline due to the perception among environmentalists that it would increase global warming. The Keystone XL pipeline would have increased America’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by less than three-tenths of one percent of the country’s total annual CO2 emissions, according to analysis by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Obama’s own U.S. State Department found that the pipeline wouldn’t make global warming worse, would reduce the risk of an oil spill and create more than 42,000 new jobs. If it had been approved by the Obama administration, Keystone would have sent oil sands from Alberta, Canada to American oil refineries on the Gulf Coast. Republicans pushed Obama to approve the pipeline as it would create jobs.
Despite the State Department and EPA’s findings, Obama vetoed legislation early last year to approve Keystone XL as well. Obama’s critics say he was pressured by environmentalist billionaire Tom Steyer, who spent $73 million in the 2014 election supporting Democratic candidates, to veto the project.
Wild Thing's comment...........
GOOD! The POS Obama had NO reason not to sign on for the keystone Pipeline. I pray they sue him personally to the hilt. As far as suing our country well, at least Obama will be totally at fault for that.
Burn in hell Obama.
