"TransCanada Will Import Much Of The Steel For The Pipeline. TransCanada has claimed that the Keystone XL pipeline would create 7,000 manufacturing jobs in the U.S. But an independent analysis called that figure “unsubstantiated and misleading” because TransCanada has already signed contracts to purchase “almost half” of the pipeline materials from companies abroad........some of the steel pipe for the project was produced in India, Democrats on the House Energy and Commerce Committee asked TransCanada to “immediately disclose where the steel to be used in Keystone XL is manufactured.”
from Climate Progress, for info only, full credit to Climate Progress, visit it.
Buy from foreign sources, why, if the pipe costs more what happens, the pipeline will be put from Sudan to South Africa, or Peru to Germany. The only reason is to make a few extra million fast, like over 20 years that will be even a percent. It's to fuck over the US worker, that and money is all corporations and the Republicans are interested in.
The whole thing stinks.
