The Senate has voted on the Keystone XL Pipeline.
Like any bill that the GOP House played around with last session, this was another “jobs bill”.
It is going to create thousands of jobs, they said, even though anyone who actually looks beyond the financial benefits members of congress and their friends who give them money, knows those thousands of jobs are at best temporary and not that numerous.
Two provisions in the Pipeline bill seem a little less than friendly toward American citizens.
The fist is the one that did not make it a requirement that the steel for the pipe and the pipes themselves must be American made.
The owners of Tar Sands can get their materials anywhere that it is cheapest, with no guarantee that Americans will be employed.
No jobs provision there.
The second provision turns its back on the idea that the oil that flows though the pipeline will be kept in this country for American use. Instead, it all goes to foreign countries.
The only involvement of Americans beyond the temporary employment is that those Americans living along the route, and their water supplies will be negatively affected by any ruptures in the pipeline.
Oh, my mistake. There is a third interesting provision that has it that people living along the proposed pipeline route will not have to give up their land for eminent domain from this point on.
This doesn’t apply to those whose lands have already been claimed, and the majority of those with land in the way have already had it claimed, or have been given the notification that it was the victim of eminent domain.
This group will have to go to court and fight those notifications.
Good luck to them.
