Canceling the Keystone XL pipeline project by Executive Order may appease the Greens but at what cost? This action destroys thousands of jobs on both sides of the Canadian border; does nothing to dampen demand for fossil fuels but, by constraining supply, drives up costs for the consumer; all the while increasing risks to the environment by moving the mode of transport of the oil to rail where spills from accidents historically far outweigh those from pipelines.
