Until the oil runs out and they need new jobs again. How would we know how much oil is there?

@DickTrickledownIII It would be nice if the rest of the country would follow the examples set by Texas and Alaska.

Obama hasn't created anything but more massive debt, even as a pretend Republican you would know this, poser.Those temporary jobs do not count.The government has gotten way out of control with him at the helm. And he wants to make it even Bigger! Obama did create jobs during the oil spill by sitting on his hands and doing nothing.His idea of lowering the debt is to raise the debt ceiling.You Obamanites are fading fast. Now open up a real acct, and stop all this hiding.

Seeing how everything in the U.S. is running off of oil you're not going to go green over night, but I know you already know all this.

Yeah, Solyndra was a great investment of the American tax payers money. It's a good thing they checked out the books before they guaranteed the loan. They hadn't shown a profit in years. And when they filed for bankruptcy who do you think Obamie paid off first?

The Chinese are getting all of the Stimulus Money selling us windmills.

@DickTrickledownIII Hmm…I'd venture to posit 4 facts:

1. You're not a Republican.

2. You're not employed by "big oil", whatever that is.

3. You're not well informed about science and therefore can't construct an argument to validate your assertions.

4. You're a troll and work for free.

I think that about summarizes it. You're welcome to continue flailing. For free.

@icimblind Yea. Solyndra. Good one. Solar panels are for hippies, not us old, white Republicans!

What the hell was Obama thinking giving money to an upstart company trying to get us off oil and instead investing in the future of America's energy. Sheesh.

The Chinese can have ALL the future energies. We just want OIL goddammit!

[DickTrickledownIII]

@icimblind Well, if you add in all the people who we'll eventually have to hire to clean up the eventual mess, the figures are 130,000,000 new jobs!

Not sure, but in spite of us not giving Obama an inch on taxing us wealthy Texans, I think he created about 137,000 jobs. Take THAT Obama!

[DickTrickledownIII]

@rjbischof @rjbischof @rjbischof As a staunch Republican I can say unequivocally that I don't give two sh*ts about science. Why? Because I won't be around much longer dumbasses.

Yes, the Canadians, and the Chinese, and the Indians, etc., etc. we're ALL adding greenhouses gasses to the air. Environmentalists say the Keystone pipeline is "game over" for global warming, but what do we Republicans care? Like I said, BILLIONS! Remember, I work for big oil & get paid just like YOU.

TransCanada is poised to put 13,000 Americans to work to construct the pipeline - pipefitters, welders, mechanics, electricians, heavy equipment operators, among other jobs - in addition to 7,000 manufacturing jobs that would be created across the U.S.  Additionally, local businesses along the pipeline route will benefit from the 118,000 spin-off job. Total of about 138,000 new jobs! How much money did that multi-billion dollar Stimulus Bill create?? This is a no brainer. Solyndra any one?
