I truly hope Governor Heineman’s approval of the Keystone XL pipeline revised route, along with the support of the majority of Nebraskans for the pipeline, will convince the Obama Administration to allow this much needed and wanted project to go forward.  The President has stated on several occasions that he is a proponent of an “all of the above” strategy in seeking ways to achieve energy independence for America.  I would like to see the necessity for jobs and basic common sense trump the ideology of radical environmentalists and anthropogenic climate change believers in this issue.  The truth of the matter is Canada will run a pipeline whether America participates or not, so it would be foolish to refuse to benefit from it.
