keystone XL pipeline

A section of the Keystone Pipeline that was completed in 2011 sprung a leak, spilling approximately 210,000 gallons of oil in South Dakota. What does it mean for safety?

Radical environmentalists prefer dangerous, inhumane, ecologically destructive alternatives.

For Obama, the surprise election of Donald Trump likely means the new president-elect will soon get to use a familiar phrase on Obama’s executive overreaches: “You’re fired.”

For 2016, Congress will need to stay on top of Obama’s rules, regulations, and executive orders aimed at burnishing his legacy on climate change. It should also rein in the EPA, reform the ESA, and work to reduce the amount of land owned by the federal government.

Thanks mainly to the shale revolution, oil production in the U.S. hit a 28-year high last month while imports were at their lowest levels since 1995.

The Heartland Institute has published extensive research and commentary on why building the Keystone XL Pipeline would be good for American consumers and workers.

The Keystone XL pipeline was AWOL from Obama’s #SOTU — along with real energy, job, economic, and revenue solutions.

On December 29, 2013, the Sierra Club was celebrating the shutdown of the 150th coal-fired plant that provided electricity. That’s nothing to celebrate.

Jay Lehr on WIBW: “To think that man is more powerful than nature is ludicrous.”
