LIAR ON ENERGY
President Obama’s claim that the Keystone pipeline would create “maybe
2,000 jobs” during its construction is such a blatant lie that even his
friends at Politifact were forced to rate it false. The Alaska pipeline
is a good example of the boom created by construction of a pipeline – a
job boom that continues to this day with thousands of workers on the
North Slope. During its construction and
pre-construction phase, the Alyeska pipeline project employed some
70,000 workers from 1969 through 1977. During its peak, that pipeline
provided 17% of the U.S. domestic supply of energy – that’s billions of
barrels of oil. To deny the multiple benefits involved in building the
Keystone pipeline – from job creation to securing a reliable source of
energy from an environmentally responsible country like Canada – is just
ludicrous. It’s more of what we’ve come to expect from the Obama
administration and his lapdog spokesmen.
