You have talked for 3 years about shovel ready jobs, and now you won’t pass this pipeline. It appears you don’t mean what you say. What is the real reason you don’t want jobs in the US?

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.

Bill McKibben, a climate activist and co-founder of the group 350.org, wrote in an e-mail that Boehner has received more than $1 million from fossil-fuel companies, “and now we find out that he’s got extensive personal investments in companies dependent on tarsands oil.”

“He was willing to shut down the government in part to prevent enough time for serious environmental review,” McKibben added. “In any other facet of our public life . . . this whole list taken together would be seen for the gross conflict of interest that it is.”

The profits all go to nations that fund Al Quida. Obama doesn’t want jobs for Americans. Iran says they will stop the oil pipeline that runs through there region if Obama doesn’t lift sanctions. Oil will go to 10 dollars a gallon because we have an idiot for a leader. Why is he so stupid ?

The problem is Scott, they already know the facts. They simply choose not to believe them because it doesn’t suit their agenda.

ReviewFor every organization that’s ever reached beyond its own borders for top leadership only to have those high-profile, high-salary top leaders bungle and exit as abruptly as they appeared, this smart, substantive, and clear-eyed book is a godsend.

Written by three genuine experts in management development (one of them helped design GE’s deservedly famous succession-development process), The Leadership Pipeline: How to Build the Leadership Powered Company finally shows organizations how to undo the knots and clogs in their in-house “leadership pipeline” so they can constantly groom the best people at every level to move up to the next rung of leadership. Not only do the authors identify the six transition phases, or “turns,” of the pipeline–from self-manager (individual worker), first-line manager, and managers’ manager to function manager, business manager, group manager and enterprise manager (the last essentially being a CEO)–they describe each with remarkable insight; these six levels of leadership growth, for example, exist at the base of every midsize or large organization regardless of how each structures its individual hierarchy. With each, they take care to point out both the new skills and values (there is a difference) one must acquire before making a turn, as well as how to measure whether someone has them before moving them along. They also show how to determine whether candidates are embodying those skills and values once they’ve made the transition, and how to groom them for the next level right from day one.

The result? Not just one potentially qualified in-house candidate for a top leadership position (the kind of dearth that forces companies to look outward for expensive and often short-lived leadership “stars”), but a whole generation of them, not to mention younger generations to succeed them.

The book includes sample scenarios (from both fictional and real-life organizations), definitions, checklists and charts that break down and illustrate its main points in every chapter. Though shrewd and straightforward on every page, The Leadership Pipeline isn’t for anyone looking an easy, step-by-step, worksheet-guided quick fix to management development and succession planning. The authors stress that it takes some hard thinking for companies to determine what they really need from leaders at each level (and to figure out which individuals have the potential and desire to scale those levels). It requires serious homework to translate this book’s excellent guidance into a plan for your own organization’s pipeline.

That’s a small price to pay, however, for a book with such uncommonly clear insight into what it takes to nurture and navigate the best leadership from right inside your own house. –Timothy Murphy

This question is concerning the Keystone Project.. If this project ends up happening how much oil do you think should be distributed in the pipeline per day and where do you think it should be pumped to? This is a current event that Canada and the U.S. are involved in..if you aren’t aware of this topic.

I’m going to suggest a look at pipeline history. In the early 70′s oil companies wanted a pipeline from the Alaskan north slope to Anchorage, a far cheaper way to transport crude than by tanker. In 1973 we had the Arab oil embargo so by 1974 the pipeline was approved on the condition the oil companies guaranteed at least 90% flow for 100 years. Under those terms the Congress approved the construction and funding methods. By 1977 the pipeline was finished and flowing at the agreed upon 90%. By the mid 1980’s the flow rate slipped below 90%, by the mid 1990’s below 80%, and by 2004 it was down to 30%, and all the crude that did flow was refined into gasoline in Valdez and immediately shipped to Japan. Now, are you sure you want another Pipeline?

Republican politicians in the United States are fighting President Barack Obama’s decision to reject a controversial pipeline project.

They are trying to strip the president of his authority to decide the fate of the Keystone oil pipeline, which would carry oil from Canada through the United States to the Gulf of Mexico.

Republicans say Obama made the decision based on political considerations, and that the project would create thousands of jobs. Democrats, however, argue that a full environmental assessment must be carried out before the deal can be approved.
