3. I would venture to say there would be more jobs created with the infrastructure repair and

Rebuilding than would ever work on the KXL. The GOP job story grows like a fish story. We have military returning to the US and fine in shape people who would perform very well as road and utility workers, give them a chance.

We hear a lot about how bad our bridges are.

And it isn’t just our bridges that are vulnerable but also the nation’s electrical grid. From a 2012 article in USA Today:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2012/11/14/power-grid-vulnerable-terrorism/1704803/

“a long-delayed federal study Wednesday says the U.S. power grid is also vulnerable to terrorist attacks that could cause months of blackouts and billions in economic damages.”

This is because the grid is old, insecure and without backup replacement parts.
