Environmentalists strike again. As they point out in this interview we have too many brainless people working on energy policy in the United States.

“I’m confident it will be built,” he said.
Harper also spoke of how Canada, as an “ultimate friend to the United States,” is a reliable energy supplier because it doesn’t “use oil or energy projects as strategic resources to achieve… foreign policy or political ends.”
