In Rejection Letter, State Department Concludes Purported Keystone XL Benefits Are Myths

In Rejection Letter, State Department Concludes Purported Keystone XL Benefits Are Myths: In a Congressionally mandated report on the reasons for rejecting the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, the Department of State concludes that the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline has little to do with energy security or the economy.

This must be one of those times when ideology can make you stupid.  Their ideology is the belief in AGW, the result is an ideological statement that discusses "tar sands", which is irrelevant.

AGW is a belief system.  It must be, it cannot be otherwise.  You can't fight climate change any better than King Canute could stop the tides.  Climate change has occurred in the geological past and will always occur in the future- regardless of mankind's actions.  The fallacy that exists is the fallacy that we can do anything about climate change.  Fighting climate change is like fighting the sun, the moon, and the stars.  It is as futile as a dog barking at the moon.

But that doesn't stop the lunacy here.  Do they really believe that importing oil from Canada makes no sense economically?  That importing it from further away makes more sense?  That importing it from Venezuela makes more sense?  From Saudi Arabia or the Persian Gulf makes more sense?

This is an insult to ordinary human intelligence, but perhaps not to liberals.
