Poison Pill for Keystone Pipeline?

Congress needs to pass a law that states any products derived from the tar-sands oil shipped through the keystone pipeline can only be sold in the United States. The refineries should not be allowed to export the gasoline refined from the tar sands. If we are going to put our aquafers in jepordy, and expose our citizens to the pollution, then that "bitumin" should be taxed as oil and, at the very least, the gasoline produced must be used to end our dependence on foreign oil!

Attack on all fronts

Hopefully Obama will see the insanity of approving the Keystone pipeline, but Joe Biden states that he is in the minority in opposing the pipeline. So, just as teh Republicans added a "poison pill" (75 years of prefunded retirement benefits) in their attempt to kill the Post Office, we need to be creative in case the Obama administration approves this short-sighted, planet-killing pipeline!
