Are you competing with supraliar to be the biggest **** LIAR on NHB, you **** lying idiiot?IkeBana » 26 Jun 2022, 5:37 am » wrote: ↑ **** dodge post. The Keystone Pipeline was a **** moneymaking deal for US big oil refineries and exporters. It provided no energy security for this country. It provided no reduction in gasoline costs.
Canadian tar sands (bitumen) mining uses excessive energy to refine. It uses excessive fresh water to refine. It requires clear cutting of forest land. And for what? For asphalt and roofing materials.
The Keystone Pipeline generated some jobs for workers in Canada, not for any jobs in this country. Once the **** leaky pipeline was built in this country, those jobs were gone.
Any argument from the right supporting Keystone is 100% **** partisan politics.
Make a **** legitimate argument or shut the **** up.
It is true that SOME of the refined 830,000bbl/day crude from Canada would be exported, BUT NOT ALL OF IT!!!The Keystone XL pipeline will transport crude oil from Alberta, Canada to Nebraska. The oil will then flow through another pipeline to Gulf Coast refineries, where it will be refined into petroleum products like gasoline.
Gulf Coast refineries export about two-thirds of their products, according to a U.S. Energy Information Administration report in January. The rest is sold in the U.S. That is a marked shift since 2012, when refineries exported about 38 percent of their products.
The Gulf Coast exports of crude oil -- oil that has not been refined into everything from butane to gasoline -- spiked during the same time period. Companies exported about 280,000 barrels of crude oil every day last year, compared to 4,000 in 2012.
The Gulf Coast imported more than 3.3 million barrels of crude oil a day in 2016.
Most of that oil came from Latin America and the Middle East. Only 9 percent of the crude oil imported to the Gulf Coast came from Canada.
The Keystone XL pipeline was designed to transport oil to the Gulf Coast because refineries in the region are already equipped to process heavier crude oils, like those found in Canada’s Alberta province. The same kind of crude oil comes to the region from Latin America.
If the pipeline transfers as much crude oil to the Gulf Coast as the federal government expects, total imports would increase by about 25 percent.
Experts also say it’s unlikely that none of the refined products will be sold in the U.S. once the pipeline is built.
"That refined oil product, gasoline or whatever, could be just as easily consumed in the United States as somewhere else," said Barry Rabe, an expert on environmental policy from the University at Michigan. "There’s nothing on the oil coming through a pipeline from Canada that requires all of that to be sold somewhere else."
