    Bill Clinton on Keystone XL pipeline: 'Embrace' it

    Bill Clinton says it's time to build the Keystone XL pipeline.

    Speaking at an Energy Department conference in Maryland on Wednesday, the former president said he was surprised the project has gotten as gummed up as it has, laying the blame on pipeline builder TransCanada.

    "One of the most amazing things to me about this Keystone pipeline deal is that they ever filed that route in the first place since they could've gone around the Nebraska Sandhills and avoided most of the dangers, no matter how imagined, to the Ogallala [aquifer] with a different route, which I presume we'll get now, because the extra cost of running is infinitesimal compared to the revenue that will be generated over a long period of time," he said.

    "So, I think we should embrace it and develop a stakeholder-driven system of high standards for doing the work," Clinton added.

    we have an provincial election on monday in alberta.

    this time they are using radio ads, automated telephone calls and other propaganda to tell the alberta public that the keystone pipeline is ESSENTIAL to alberta's future, and to vote for the party that supports it, or it will cost THOUSANDS OF JOBS lost!

    alberta's doing fine right now. and there is no keystone pipeline.

    facts verses fiction.
