Alberta says U.S. oil request ‘smacks of hypocrisy’ after it cancelled Keystone XL

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Yet we still import 3.5 billion barrels a day from Canada and that number really didn't drop when Joe took over. Maybe we need to diversify and not rely on one source for so much crude oil.

Or maybe we could also consider the cost of transport.

That's what his shit is REALLY all about. Warren Buffett likes his money from oil transport. He has made many fortunes off of it.

Limited pipeline capacity from major North American resource plays is sparking the increased use of rail and barge.

Keystone already has lots of unused pipeline capacity all over the midwest.

That was exactly the argument they used to get the first Keystone approved. But yet they still are using tanker trains. Are there any guarantees that they will stop using trains if we approve this new pipeline? In short, nope.

Uh oh, Alberta isn't happy.

The U.S. is asking for more oil, which Alberta has taken as a slight after that country cancelled a massive pipeline project that would have helped buoy the province’s struggling oil and gas industry.

“The Biden administration pleading with OPEC to increase oil production to rescue the United States from high fuel prices months after cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline smacks of hypocrisy,” Alberta Energy Minister Sonya Savage said in a statement.


“Keystone XL would have provided Americans with a stable source of energy from a trusted ally and friend that adheres to the highest (environmental, social, and governance) standards in the world with industry commitments to net-zero production.”

just to ask - is alberta ever happy?

fyi - i do agree it's hypocritical, but that's where we are today.

There is nothing wrong with the source that brain transplants of greenies would not fix

The problem is that the railroad is going to be shut down if they don't have the oil to haul. And that railroad section is needed for other supplies.

When we have a fucking moron for President like this Joe Potatohead clown the world will mock us.

We were energy independent under Trump with the help of our Canadian partners and the minute this shithead Joe Potatohead (illegally) became President he fucked it up.

Like Obama said "never underestimate the ability of Joe Biden to screw up something".

Anybody that voted for Joe Potatohead and then ignored the fact he stole the election is a fucking idiot.

Keystone XL is a huge benefit to Alberta and the Chinese owners of Tarsands.

Nope.. The US still imports 7.5 million bpd.. less during covid in 2020. But things are back to normal.

 

[Mac-7]

The US was importing 8 million bpd and since the 2020 Covid market slump we are back importing 8 million bpd.

We import some oil and also export

 

[surada]

We import some oil and also export

We export some refined products.

 

[Mac-7]

We export some refined products.

Exactly and we import also but overall the US was energy independent under trump whereas biden has made us energy beggars again

 

[surada]

Exactly and we import also but overall the US was energy independent under trump whereas biden has made us energy beggars again

The US has never been energy independent. We produce 10 million bpd and use nearly 20 million bpd.

Trump is a liar and doesn't know anything about the oil business.

During quarantine we used so little we actually exported more than we used. The bulk of it coming from the Gulf and distributed everywhere.

Now that things are getting better and moving towards the new normal...we are going to need more. (Air travel uses a LOT of fuel)

Currently,shipping containers and the shipping industry is the reason for most supply chain issues. The UK is having severe issues with supply chains. We might soon as well... something needs to be done. Fuel is only a small part of the issue...(headlines are always focused on the wrong things)

We don't need the people in Canada to starve or be homeless... especially when we actually want the oil they produce to hit the market. And the pipeline would do just that.

Canadian tarsands are so inferior that they are deeply discounted to $29 a barrel.

We could be energy independent if liberals would allow it

But obama and biden have done everything they could to limit production

And btw: canada is our friend and ally

We should import as much oil from them as we can

 

[Mac-7]

Canadian tarsands are so inferior that they are deeply discounted to $29 a barrel.

So?

We can employ Americans who refine that oil

No.

You say a lot of things way out of context, wrong terms, and incorrect.

You are confused about this.

When Joe Dufus stole the election he wasn't smart enough to understand US energy policy. He is not very bright or knowledgeable of anything.

However, he had Environmental Wacko handlers who didn't like the idea we were going to efficiently pump Canadian oil to the US via a pipeline. After all using oil was going to cause the earth to burn up or something. They wanted to end the efficient method and use George Soros railway and trucks, you know, to drive up the cost and make their sugar daddy even richer.

The added advantage to the American hating Democrats is that we were going to have to buy more oil from The Worthless Negro's Muslim buddies. A big plus.

Democrats fuck up everything they do. Because of the stupidity of the idiots that voted for Joe Potatohead energy prices have soared and now the idiot has mandated emission standards that forces the stupid electric cars. Then you have the fact that Joe Potatohead's incompetency has put his Chinese buddies in control of Afghanistan's Lithium deposits that is needed for the stupid electric cars.

You know who Joe Pototahead's Chinese buddies are, don't you? They are the ones that made the Biden family filthy rich and helped Joe steal the election with the release of the bio weapon.

China wins, America loses. Typical for what happens in a Democrat administration.

Keystone XL is a boondoggle to enrich the Chinese owners of Canadian tarsands.
