Letter: Argument for axing Keystone XL pipeline applies to solar and wind projects, too

The argument not to authorize the Keystone XL pipeline is that while it will create many construction jobs, there will be very few once it is completed.

I guess in the interest of intellectual honesty the left will agree that we need to quit building solar and wind projects. Both create many jobs during the construction phase and virtually no employment is created once they are in operation. Just saying!
