Obama Rejecting Keystone XL pipeline, Pokes Back At GOP

[Jerkicus]

this video is really annoying and i didnt listen to a word of it

[coltsrule5150]

they make it sound like this is going to create thousands of jobs

at most it will generate 3 thousand jobs if that,and most of that will be construction workers building it,the actual jobs needed to run it after it is built it is far less

@coltsrule5150

Estamated to be over 50,000 jobs, if you could all the spin off.

[coltsrule5150]

@biblediscussion and what are those 50,000 people going to be doing at a pipeline?

[biblediscussion]

@coltsrule5150

Those are jobs that will be created. The estaminet from the Perryman Group is 59,468 jobs for two years. Add to that all the jobs that come with 59,468 families, like housing, recreation, vehicles, oil refineries ECT.

And if the project lowers the price of gas you could see thousands more.

OR WE CAN LET CHINA HAVE THE OIL AND JOBS.

@biblediscussion what is going to be their "job" description?

@biblediscussion 50 000 ? To maintain a pipeline ? No, the true number are between 500 and 2500 temporary jobs for building.
