KeystoneXL would have added 500,000 bbls a day. That is way better than begging Venezuela and Putin to pump more.
And the US would not have used one drop of that oil. The Keystone Oil is such low quality that it can only be used for really base products. That sludge, even after refining, would have been exported. It would have tied up the Texas Refineries from refining more important products that we can use in the US. Even if it were built (Most of it already has) it would have just sat there waiting for a disaster to happen. It was built and managed by the biggest disaster for Oil Pipelines in the USA, Koch Industries and primarily owned by Koch Industries and the Canadian Government. It's a work around so that Canada won't have to build their own refineries, storage facilities and ports within 100 miles of the Keystone Facility. This has to be the dumbest thing I have heard of in a very long time and you bought it hook, line and sinker.
ANWR is US oil. If you don't develop US oil, you buy oil, duh. When oil gets scarcer the "futures" price goes up, duh.
ANWR is US oil. But it costs a bunch to get out. It's cold, real cold and thick, real thick. You have to heat it to make it flow in the pipelines. It's heavy crude of low quality. Okay, better than the Keystone sludge but about equal to the North Dakota heavy. It costs a lot more to pump oil out of ANWR than it does North Dakota. So the Oil Companies don
We should eliminate ALL subsidies, not just for oil. Tax breaks would suffice.
You can't argue with the price of gas ($3.50) under Trump vs the price of gas ($6) under Xiden.
No, I can't argue with that. But I also can look at the reasons why.
You can't argue that Trump had NS2 stopped with sanctions, and Xiden lifted the sanctions and re-started it.
Those are FACTS.
And exactly when did Rump overthrow the leaders of Germany and other Countries again? He made a big todoo about it but he never had the power to do anything about it other than attempt to convince the other countries into shutting it down. It was NEVER shut down.
Lately, it is pumping less as some of the EU and Eastern Countries are cutting back on it. Neither Biden nor Rump has anything to do with that.

Here we go again. The Keystone XL Pipeline was never for one drop of oil for the US. It was to bring down oil sludge from western Canada all the way down to Southern Texas where it would be refined, put on tankers and shipped overseas to 3rd world countries. Sounds good, right?
It's not. The Keystone Pipeline had to avoid other pipelines because it was sludge. Real low quality. The reason the Keystone Program needed the pipeline is that it's sludge was so low of a quality that trucking it or using rails to transporting it was completely financially out of the question.
The Keystone XL Pipeline Program is almost Soley owned by two parties; Koch Industries and the Canadian Government. Only the Koch Industries stands to make a dime on it for a US based company. And with the Koch Industries track record, the last thing you want is to have them managing an oil pipeline. They pay billions a year in fines and damages for the pipelines. But they make hundreds of billions.
Okay, let's say the Keystone oil has gotten to south Texas and heads into the refineries. Now we have a problem of other programs have to be set aside for the Keystone refining to be done. Remember, not one ounce of keystone product is going to be used in the US. Only after the Keystone is refined and a break happens does the domestic programs resume.
Keystone XL is just a really, really bad idea.

North Dakota has the same heavy crude ANWR has and it's much cheaper and easier to access. Once the field is found in ANWR, they don't pump it. It's filed for later when things get harder to pump in the Dakotas. ANWR s oil is heavy crude and the temp is really low. Most of the year, it's well below freezing and the oil has to be preheated to start flowing in the pipeline. And that costs bundles. So they run a small

I tried to answer you but kept losing the HTML. So I will just do this. When you don't use logic and facts then you end up with what you have and nothing I can say will ever change your mind.
