'I know you all thought he was doing it for his environmental (note the word mental) base, lo and behold Warren Buffet is the one who wins. He owns a big stake in Burlington Northern and why is that relevant, because North Dakota is going to have to move their oil via train instead of via the they Keystone pipeline.

North Dakota oil drillers increasingly will rely on trains to move barrels of crude to market after the Obama administration’s decision to reject plans for a pipeline that would run from Canada to refineries on the Gulf of Mexico, state and industry officials say.

“Pipelines are by far the safest and most economically efficient way to transport oil, but we are left with a limited number of options if pipelines are off the table,” said Tony Clark, chairman of the North Dakota Public Service Commission. “Once the oil is flowing, it has to go somewhere.”

Obama on Wednesday temporarily halted the $7 billion Keystone XL pipeline, saying an arbitrary deadline set by Republican lawmakers didn’t give his administration enough time for review.

Calgary-based TransCanada Corp.’s 1,700-mile pipeline is designed to carry crude oil from tar sands near Hardisty, Alberta, through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. The pipeline also would move 100,000 barrels of crude daily, largely from North Dakota’s burgeoning oil patch and some from Montana.

Billions of dollars of infrastructure improvements have been made in recent years to allow North Dakota’s oil shipping capacity to keep pace with the skyrocketing production. North Dakota is the nation’s fourth-biggest oil producer and is expected to trail only Texas in crude output within the next year.

You need to ask Sugardaddy George Soros about that question!

This pipeline wouldn't create that many jobs first off and second it would destroy way too much IMO. You want to create jobs? Put that oil into barrels and truck it into the U.S., this will create jobs and have a trickle down effect similar to construction and no where near as destructive.
