More opportunity for the middle class, class and more flexibility in a complex age with complex demands. That is why we try to pursue common sense jobs ideas including those with bipartisan support. Things like; reforming a broken tax system to make it friendlier and simpler the job creators, opening more markets to create american jobs at home and moving forward with bipartisan Infrastructure Projects like the keystone xl pipeline. Americans are changing this congress and president. And they are challenging this congress and this president to work for them challenging lawmakers in washington to work for jobs for americans not just themselves. It seems simple enough, but we we will have to work hard to meet expectations and we are going to have to Work Together. Step one is Getting Congress working together again, again, and that means fixing the senate. Last session the house sent over countless bills. Many bills. Many of them died without so much as a hearing. Senators were routinely
Show you the project. It runs from hardisty in alberta, canada, all the way down to our refineries in texas along the gulf coast. This project will move 830,000 barrels of oil a day. Some of that will be oil from canada. Some of that will be domestic oil from the back an region bakken region in montana and north dakota. This is part of the building the infrastructure so we can build a comprehensive energy plan for our country. Were producing more and more oil and gas in our country from the shale place in places like the bakken and north dakota and montana. The eagleford in texas. Natural gas from places like the barnett and the marcellus in new york pennsylvania and ohio. And what were working towards is some people refer to it as energy independence, but really Energy Security for our country. Energy security for our country. What does that mean . That means we produce more energy than we consume. Obviously, energy is a global market. The market for energy is a global market. We know
And its one of six montana counties that the keystone x. L. Pipeline will route through. Now, circle like a lot of small communities in montana, has experienced the same economic and population declines that towns have faced in recent years. In fact, the county has significant infrastructure needs that have gone unresolved in the wake of a shrinking tax base. Now, for towns like circle, the keystone x. L. Pipeline isnt just about energy. It represents Economic Opportunity and hope for the future. You see mccomb county alone would see 18 million in property tax revenues from the Keystone Pipeline construction and thats just in the pipelines first year of operation. Now, thats money for neighborhoods, its for roads not to mention the influx of jobs for the area. Now, another 45 million would be distributed among five other montana counties and 16 million would go to montanas schools and university systems. You see these keystone x. L. Pipeline means Lower Energy Costs for montana familie
I think we understate the importance of this pipeline project and these deliberations to our relationship with our friends in canada. I have no doubt about it because i have seen it and hypocrisy which they have no objection to and then refusing them the same opportunity, that is you want to call about the United States projecting a bad image in conducting a double standard in the world, this is one of them. I look at the states through which the pipeline runs and i happen to look at where the support for the pipeline is, amazing to me how almost every representative and senator in the state where the pipeline actually runs is in favor of it. There is almost no opposition. So im delighted other parts of the country are worried about our water and environment. But we are really capable of making those decisions all by ourselves and most of these states do it on a routine basis. Thats what you did for 10 years, make these kinds of decisions for the state of north dakota. Thats right. Tha
Its in the same spot its been in for hours. Everywhere else its moving around. Heres delaware. This is the southern portion of New Castle County right near smyrna and just north of dover. You can see that is crossing delaware bay toward bridgeton. Now one shower moved through the philadelphia area then through evesham township and now is moving right over tabernacle. As you can see, a little bit of lightning with that over Medford Lakes right now. But the area thats been the most active right near Seaside Heights in ocean county. Look at all the lightning there, and we had a bit of a lull then the thing just exploded right over the same spot. So theyre probably getting some flooding in that area along with all that lightning. The rest of the area generally quieting down as we go through the next several hours. Drying out and the humidity dropping. But its going right back up along with the storm threat for part of the weekend. Ill get into that with the seven day in a few minutes. All
