demand jacking up the prices. if there is more wouldn't that pull down the prices. >> i like it because it adds to stability. i don't like buying oil from venezuela and companies in the middle east that are funding tirce terse to kill us. if we move from unstable sources to stable source us is good even if the price doesn't change a penny. >> there is also the jobs that are creted on this. >> and there could be environmental degradation. he is right to be concerned. but if we rearrange the energy supply we could have cliner and cheaper and step one is open the pipe line and end the
8:05 am
corn ethnoil boondoingle . frac more gas and phase out coal. you would have cleaner oil and cheaper energy. >> that is all of the above. the president claims he's for all above and look at epa stopping fracing and stopping a lot of ways we get oil. who knows, he may listen to the protestors. >> what is interesting, there is it a way to get around the water aquarks afers and if we don't take it here, china will take it they have no pollution control there . there will be a psychological impact if you take oil tarsanings. up in canada. they are third behind venezuela and saudi arabia in the amount of reserves and equal to two-thirds of what venezuela sales on the market. it would be a psyche longical

8:09 am
other side the union guys who want the jobs, who should he choose? >> he should choose union and he will go to the environmentam. he believes it is bad. >> rick, not only has he said that past. but mr. c, had u said that. >> when did they say it a bad thing. >> they are the carbon. >> he has a dinosaur that oil is a thing . past. always expect the unexpect would. >> last word from mr. forbes. forget the smoking dream liners. union workers are steamed and threatening to the strike with what workers live with every day. should thape get their way, even if it leads to fewer jobbings, want debate coming
