The Keystone XL Energy Project Is Much More Than a Pipe Dream | Robert L. Bradley Jr. | Cato Institute: Commentary

The Keystone XL Energy Project Is Much More Than a Pipe Dream | Robert L. Bradley Jr. | Cato Institute: Commentary: 'The projections for employment are so low one wonders if the study examined the right pipeline project. But the study changes the game by calculating how many "green" jobs are foregone by the pipeline project to reach its conclusion.'

Why stop there? Why not compute how many jobs would be created if we required the oil to be carried in jugs on the back of porters the whole way? Just think of how much our economy would soar if we outlawed every labor-saving device!
