But they are so your premises is false.You ever ask yourself who owns the railroads that are now shipping the oil by rail?You seem to forget the EPA send directives to what they can and can not do.... ITs time we told the feds to go fuck themselves and do what we need to as independent states. The 14 states that have the Keystone XL pipeline need to compact together and tell Biden to go fuck himself and build it.NO... You missed it... Name plate value is capacity. "Projected capacity" is just 27% of name plate... You are totally ignorant of how this works...projected capacity
The problem in Texas is their conservative run electric grid. How’s that profit for the few above the needs of the people working out for you?
Dont worry though, we have an actual President in office now, that is more intelligent than a monkey throwing a roll of paper towels.
The Keystone XL line only benefits Canada and the Koch Industries. And about 27 long term jobs to maintain it. But since it's going to be maintained by Koch Industries, make that 5 long term jobs and lots and lots of leaks and Federal Fines. Don't drink the water.
Guess who...
It doesn't matter. Oil Sands from Western Canada is NOT being shipped to the ports of Texas by rail. Considering the Oil Sands oil is about 29 bucks a barrel and the US doesn't want to buy it then why would you ship such dirty oil that hard to process for anything other than plastics and such so far? At some point, the cost per barrel is run up into mid 30s and 40s and it just hit the cost of heavy crude which is easier and cheaper to refine for plastics and such. And the US has Heavy Crude just laying around.
With that in mind, why would we need to even bring up shipping Crappy Oil Sands all the way from western Canada to Texas on rails? In fact, why would we even want a pipeline that is dedicated in shipping it all that way to Southern Texas when the only thing you can do with it is ship it out of the US. And even with the pipeline finished, the cost per barrel will be approaching the cost of the heavy crude as it is. Wouldn't it make more sense for the BNSF to ship the Oil Sands oil by rail the short distance to the Canadian Pacific Ports after they Expand the ports? Of course, that would cut out the political influence that the Koch Industries is using in the United States with their bought and paid for Politicians. Well, luckily, not all are accepting the bribes for that source.
You have stock in the railroads?
