Canadian jobs? There weren't 60k workers maintaining Keystone. If so, it's proof that it's too dangerous to exist.

As for our energy independence, Keystone flowed from Canada to the Gulf Coast, where it was pumped into ships and sent to China. The U.S. got no benefit, only the risk of spills - which have been frequent and costly.

Fuck KeystoneXL.
 
Now we learn the truth. Canceling Keystone cost almost 60,000 working class jobs in this country. Not to mention our energy independence. All for the fanatical climate religion of the left




You mean 4000 temporary jobs and a crew of 12 to monitor the flow and pressure. 😂 TransCanada is a crap company and the Chinese are stuck for 18 billion dollars in investments.

These are temporary jobs.. The keystone XL is about 1200 miles. They need 500 people per 100 miles, but not at the same time.

Your fossil fuel phobia is strong

The oil flows from Canada to the US to be refined

Thats jobs for Americans and we choose who gets to buy the oil after that

China has serious economic problems and soon may not want or need the oil as their economy slows down

The Biden Administration Finally Admits Its Mistake in Canceling the Keystone XL Pipeline

19 Jan 2023 ~~ By Tom Harris

At long last, the Biden administration is admitting what experts have always known: reckless energy policies have disastrous consequences. This time, the Department of Energy quietly released a report highlighting the positive economic benefits of developing the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada, an energy project canceled by President Biden in the hours following his inauguration.
But the DOE’s report is a proverbial day late and a dollar short. The cancelation of the Keystone XL pipeline has already cost the United States thousands of jobs and billions in economic growth while families suffer under the weight of record high energy prices. It’s time for lawmakers to make American energy independence a top priority.
Released without a formal announcement, the DOE’s report points out that the pipeline would have created between 16,149 and 59,000 jobs and would have had an economic benefit of between $3.4 and 9.6 billion. That’s no small impact. Yet with one stroke of his pen, Biden slashed the project and instead focused his efforts on costly “green energy” goals. As a result of his executive action, 11,000 pipeline workers were promptly laid off and told to “go to work to make solar panels” instead.
~Snip~
The problem is that the Biden administration is waging unrelenting war on energy producers and sabotaging American energy production in pursuit of a green energy pipedream. Our nation has the resources and the technology to produce energy for all our needs. Lawmakers must recommit themselves to the goal of an abundant energy future that brings prosperity and fuels dreams in America’s communities.

Commentary:
Nation's hostile to The United States have corrupted are running the Biden Administration.
The CCP bought our politicians and government employees made them rich. They’re going to expect them to stay bought.
When there is no pipeline, the oil has to travel by rail. Guess who owns and profited from blockage of Keystone pipeline? For some this is not about following the ideology. It is about following the money... the money from campaign donors and friends and the money to those friends from steered market forces rather than free market forces.
This Was No Mistake - It was intentional sabotage of our energy and our National Security.
 
NONE of the Keystone XL oil can be sold in the US.

Biden Sold China SPR Oil at a Discount

BY IER
JULY 22, 2022

Earlier this month, IER posted a blog that said the Department of Energy (DOE) sold China almost 1 million barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). The real number is almost 6 million barrels of which 4 million barrels were sold to China in November 2021—before the Russian invasion of Ukraine—and at a discount to oil sold on the market. In the November sale, oil was sold on average for $63 per barrel, or over eight dollars less than the average price of oil per barrel that month.

Lol. No he didn't. Sinopec bid on the oil just like every other oil company.

Such stupidity.

In April 2022, the DOE sold 950,000 barrels to Unipec at $103.30 a barrel for a total of about $98 million, according to a DOE report. In July 2022, DOE sold another 950,000 barrels to China for around $119 per barrel for a total of about $113 million, according to the FY22 Emergency Drawdown No. 3A Successful Awards Report. The Biden administration is selling SPR oil to China while China is buying Russian oil at a discount despite sanctions on Russia. China International United Petroleum & Chemical Co., Unipec, chartered at least 10 tankers so far this month to transport Russian oil that is loaded from Kozmino port—a five-fold increase on the number of hired tankers booked for trade a month earlier. China spent $18.9 billion on Russian oil, gas and coal in the three months that ended in May—almost double the amount from a year earlier, according to customs data.

SPR oil is sold to the highest bidder, and some of the businesses entitled to make bids are American subsidiaries of foreign corporations like Unipec, the trading arm of the China Petrochemical Corporation, which is wholly owned by the Chinese government. China purchased that oil from U.S. emergency reserves to bolster its own stockpile for strategic use. China has been buying large quantities of oil for its reserves since the early COVID lockdowns when prices were low due to demand destruction.

Do you understand the word "bidding"?
 
Your fossil fuel phobia is strong

The oil flows from Canada to the US to be refined

Thats jobs for Americans and we choose who gets to buy the oil after that

China has serious economic problems and soon may not want or need the oil as their economy slows down

None of that oil can be sold in the US. Your ignorance is strong.
 
Thats not true

No law prevents the oil from being sold in the US

But it does give our workers jobs and some leverage for the US on the global oil market

NONE of the keystone XL oil can be sold in the US. It's a tax dodge, moron... That's the reason for the refineries in the Free Trade Zone. 12 years and you still don't know your ass from a hot rock.

If true - and you have not documented it - but if so that changes nothing

Its canadian oil but refined in America and our workers benefit from it

Nope. Motiva and Valero refineries don't need to increase the number of employees. Alberta is invested in tarsands and so are a lot of Americans. It's a loser unless they can avoid taxes and sell the refined product overseas. If they sell it in the US, they lose the tax advantages.

You are really grasping at straws

You claim the oil is refined in America but not by Americans?

Thats insane
