http://thehill.com/video/house/206599-leading-dem-says-keystone-a-matter-of-life-and-death-for-koch-brothers-Rep. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) called approval of the Keystone XL pipeline a matter of life and death for the billionaire Koch brothers as Democrats work to link GOP support for the controversial energy project to the conservative mega-donors.
"This for them should be a matter of life and death," said Markey in an interview with Martin Bashir on MSNBC Wednesday.
The clean energy revolution is moving so fast, the reduction in the amount of oil we are using in America is proceeding so quickly, that they are an endangered species if they can't stop this new technological revolution, he said of the oil industry and their supporters.

By linking the pipeline to the Koch brothers, Democrats hope to question GOP motives for supporting the project.
The oil industry wants to take the dirtiest oil from Canada, bring it through a pipeline in the United States with no guarantee that it stays here in order to export it to the thirstiest markets across the planet with almost no benefit to us, alleged Markey.
(end snip)
Do you see? All of the lies?? No jobs, no decreased dependency, just Koch. It's all $ for Koch.

The only thing that moves fast in America is money from corporations to politicians.

We only have their word for it that they are solvent since they are a private company that does not reveal anything. They act just like Enron----desperate----so, unless I see some proof that they are solvent, I am going to assume that they are what they act.
