Biden's goofy pipeline policies

 Jack Hellner:

President Biden blocked the Keystone pipeline from Canada to the U.S., ostensibly due to environmental concerns and claims about global warming, even though the long planned project had cleared all environmental hurdles.

Yet the Biden State department just effectively approved an energy pipeline from Russia to Germany.

...

Count that as a win for pipelines — for others, just not us.  The rest of the press is focusing on Biden making his "decisions," but with this news, the direction of this administration is clear.

It is clear that jobs in Europe and Russia are more important to Biden than jobs in the United States.  Energy from fossil fuels is also OK in Europe, just not here.

Therefore, when Biden blocked the Keystone pipeline, it was purely catering to his special interest groups and had zero to do with science.

...

Actually, it is worse.  It is not in Nato's strategic interest for Europeans to be dependent on Russian natural gas.  This is especially the case when they could be using LNG from the US, except that Biden is blocking the drilling for that on federally controlled sites.  So, The US and NATO are committed to defending the Europeans from Russia while making them more dependent on Russian gas.  Biden is showing himself as a strategic idiot.

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
