[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1285797, member: 2189"] Before you get all gitty about the Keystone pipeline and US energy independence, you might look at who is really the big player in control of those Canadian Tar Sands. Nexen, who was one of the key players but as of about 4 months ago were wholly bought out by the Chinese and they, the Chinese, have plans of increasing their stack in control of those tar sands.

Do your due diligence before you jump off the cliff on this one. You might not like the "tree huggers" reasons but in opposing the pipeline, they are correct IMO. We are being lied too as if that should come as surprise. [/QUOTE]
