One of the main news on the first week of November 2015 was:
President Obama ended one of the longest policy deliberations of his presidency, rejecting on Friday a Canadian company’s proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline through the United States, which Republicans argued would deliver crucial construction jobs, even as Nebraska’s courts and the TransCanada pipeline company itself had second thoughts about the project.The proposed 1,700-mile pipeline from Canada’s tar sands to U.S. ports along the Gulf Coast ignited a large number of protests from greenpeace and similar environment groups. At the same time, a number of people supported it under the hope of new jobs creation and a cheaper oil source for the US economy.
Disscus The President’s decission and support your ideas about it. Was it a good decision for our country economy? Was it the right decision for the environment? What would you do in a similar situation and why?
Why are Tar sands “not very popular”?
