Who is to say just because the oil goes through the USA on a pipeline it will stay in the USA? Once it is refined it is sold and goes to where ever. There is a reason the refiners are on the Gulf coast. BTW pipe fitters have the lowest unemployment rate in the nation right now.
Fracking can be an even worst choice for the planet. Everyone should watch Gas Land to see the effects it is doing already. Humans can not live without clean drinking water.
The country that gets the renewable energy problems figured out first will be the power house economy. China and India already know this and are quickly gaining ground on the USA. By hook or crook and we are letting them right now.
