How would you vote on the Keystone XL Pipeline?

Aye (R), though it will probably hurt production in Texas.

Nay vote is like adding a nickel to every gallon for the rail industry. I have nothing against freight rail, but we have better, safer technology for moving oil.

It's also time for Venezuela to repent. No more subsidizing the Orinoco Oil Sands by insulating them from Canadian competition.

Generally, I support policies that make fossil fuels more expensive on the margin, but I've yet to hear why the pipeline is worth fighting over. It just doesn't seem like a big deal either way.

That's because you've never looked at the relationship between household energy expenditures (particularly gasoline) and median household income growth.

Why do you think Congress refuses to raise the gasoline tax? Right-wing conspiracy? lol
