Why Can't America
Fill a Pothole?

Why can’t America build or repair infrastructure on a par
with countries in Europe or Asia? Why are our bridges, roads, and airports not
what they should be? Aren’t we the richest and most technologically savvy
country in the world? Who or what is holding us back? Kyle Smith of National
Review has the surprising (and frustrating) answer.

UN Ambassador Susan Rice, already under fire from
Republicans, is now taking hits from the left over six-figure investments in
the company behind a controversial oil pipeline.
Rice, rumored to be on the short list to replace Hillary
Clinton as Secretary of State, owns between $300,000 and $600,000 in
TransCanada Corp. stock, according to the TheHill.com, which cites Rice's
financial disclosure forms. TransCanada is the company whose 1,700-mile Keystone XL
pipeline, which would bring oil from Canada down to Gulf refineries
has been repeatedly delayed and now is in regulatory limbo.
The liberal group RootsAction.org, has started an online
petition demanding that Rice "immediately sell every dollar of stock"
in the company behind the $7 billion project. Environmentalists say the
pipeline would pollute air and water supplies as well as harm fragile
ecosystems. Energy industry officials argue that the Keystone XL would be no
different from an extensive network of energy pipelines already in place – and
some say its state-of-the-art design would make it safer than many of the
country’s aging pipelines.
The State Department would have to sign off on the
pipeline because it spans the border between the U.S. and Canada
"It's indefensible that Susan Rice has millions of
dollars invested in oil companies and banks that will make huge profits if the
State Department gives approval to the XL pipeline," the group says in a
statement online.
The website, OnEarth.org, published a story Wednesday on
Rice's reported investments in more than a dozen Canadian oil companies and
banks that would stand to benefit from the pipeline.
"It’s really amazing that they’re considering
someone for Secretary of State who has millions invested in these companies,”
Bill McKibben, a writer and founder of the activist groups 350.org and Tar
Sands Action, told the website. "The State Department has been rife with
collusion with the Canadian pipeline builders, and it’s really distressing to
have any sense that that might continue to go on."
