Pipelines need few workers to operate

We have Barack Obama bad mouthing Keystone XL pipeline project because, once built, it won't employ all that many people to run it.  News Flash, that's why we lay pipelines.  They get the product to market cheaply.  Cheaply means a small number of workers.
   We need Keystone XL to furnish a generous supply of vital fuel and chemical feedstock to Gulf refineries.  With supplies from Keystone, those refineries will stay in production and their thousands of workers will remain employed.  With out the pipeline, they have only the dwindling Texas fields and the offshore gulf wells to supply crude.  When those run dry, bye-bye refineries, bye bye refinery jobs.  That's why we need that pipeline.  Obama apparently doesn't understand this.  Neither does our well educated, journalism majoring media.
   Looking past just refinery jobs, fuel and chemical feedstock form the basis of the US economy.  Without dependable supplies, industry dries up and blows away. 
   Every day that Obama holds up Keystone XL brings us one day closer to bankruptcy.
