Maybe we too can lay a pipeline on top since the hole will be dug anyway and start harvesting our own oil in N.Dakota.

As a side benefit we fight terrorism by starving the terrorist countries of US and Canadian oil dollars.

In addition to labor, he can require that all materials used to build the pipeline are domestic. It is nothing new to the construction industry, but he can take credit it for it as his idea.

So basically he has all his talking points for his speech on the 8th.
