Environmentalists note that in December 2010, according to Boehner’s financial disclosure forms, he invested $10,000 to $50,000 each in seven firms that had a stake in Canada’s oil sands, the region that produces the oil the pipeline would transport. The firms include six oil companies — BP, Canadian Natural Resources, Chevron, Conoco Phillips, Devon Energy and Exxon — along with Emerson Electric, which has a contract to provide the digital automation for the first phase of a $9.4 billion Horizon Oil Sands Project in Canada.

The American Petroleum Institute, the nation’s largest oil lobby, has launched a television advertising blitz in the Midwest and in the District urging voters to tell the White House they support the plan to transport crude oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast. Environmentalists are planning a Capitol Hill rally later this month to take aim at Republicans and the institute.

    • If oil companies were interested in creating jobs in this country---they'd be making biofuels that can be produced here, from raw materials that we have here, by workers who live here.

    • Keystone XL Pipeline About Jobs? No it is about GREED and making as much money from those that are going to lose their homes and property. None of the Oil that will flow through that pipeline is going to be used in the States it is all for export.
