I vote we halt any further discussion until EVERYBODY reads this 2009 article from Canadian press:

In Texas, oil sands firms fight for their share

Pipeline extension to Gulf Coast refineries is key for Canadian producers

That was 2009. A lot has changed since then.

Here's the takeaway 13 years later. We export, we import. We drill clean energy, and have access to dirty tar sands oil that's expensive to refine, and our drilling permits are out the roof here in our own country. So why the high costs? You tell me? I say it's greed, oil companies, and Wall Street. Biden has shit to do with it. Why isn't Big Oil drilling more as gas prices surge? The answer is more Wall Street than White House

The root cause of today’s high gas prices isn’t politics: It’s financial pressure on oil companies from a decade of cash-flow losses that have made them change financial tactics. Investment in new wells has dropped more than 60%, causing U.S. crude oil production to plummet by more than 3 million barrels a day, or nearly 25%, just as the Covid virus hit, and then fail to recover with the economy. For an oil-drilling sector that lost 90% of its stock value from 2012 through early last year, it hasn’t been the toughest call in the world. WE are making up the difference. But let's blame Biden.

Show us what has changed since 2009.

Yeah well so am I, guess that makes me magically correct, too.

You can't spell and he doesn't know about the keystone XL.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

Keystone XL is strictly an export pipe line.

That's incorrect.

Neither do you...lol

This was all so avoidable. But dems are more concerned with hurting Trumps legacy and the American worker than they are with having a stable economy.

Projection much? Destroying Obama’s legacy was what Trump and the Republicans spent four years trying to do.

The pipeline would have had little effect on today’s situation. It’s a con pipe dream.

 

[surada]

The fact that it was infrastructure controlled and secured by the US would have had a stronger positive impact on the global market price for oil. Where was it contractually set that none of its contents were never to be sold in the US?

XL means it's an export pipeline... and yes it's contractually set for tarsands

The US economy was perfect until Poot invaded Ukraine.

liar.

would shutting down another pipeline cause prices to rise? we both know the true answer. the pipe dream is dims claiming the current administration has nothing to do with rising prices.

thats just a god damn joke. and so are you potato supporters.

Trump hates Obama because he's slim, educated and decent. Lard ass can't compete. The Trump organization is made up of sleaze bags like Trump.

Keystone XL is an export pipeline for tarsands. Doesn't help the US taxpayer or consumer. It does help the Chinese.

But, it would have an effect and right now, every little bit would help.

How long are you going to repeat that lie?...lol

Do your homework. I have told you the absolute truth. Do you understand the difference between Canadian crude oil and Canadian tarsands?

Contracts can be broken. Infrastructure can be repurposed or modified.

Of course, Democrats want their cake and eat it too. They want to stifle US domestic oil and fossil fuel energy companies to appease their radical environmentalists and global intelligentsia elite BUT they don’t want the accountability for not doing more to shield oR mitigate US from high energy prices. Every policy they pushed put us into the current position of being not only dependent on foreign oil but foreign oil from hostile and volatile nations.

I knew this was the position and risk Democrats would put US in in 2020 during the campaigns and debates. Democrats Energy Policy is a failure.

I have done my homework.

Will all the oil from the Keystone XL pipeline be exported?

This is what Wapo is saying...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2022/02/28/biden-administration-wont-appeal-judges-ruling-revoking-gulf-mexico-drilling-leases/

Inside Climate News? There's an unbiased source...lol

That WaPo article is only about a region in the Gulf of Mexico. It says nothing about all the other areas Biden approved. If you're going to prove Buden awarded zero permits, you should at least post an article about that.
