Oops! Biden Wants To Import More Canadian Oil But He Killed The Keystone Pipeline

[Moonglow]

The dumb is so strong with Biden and his stupid administration. Just dumber than dumb.

​

In a desperate effort to alleviate pressure at the pump that’s left Americans coping with the highest gas prices on record compounded by inflation, the Biden administration is reportedly seeking ways to import more oil from Canada. Too bad President Joe Biden spiked the Keystone XL Pipeline that was expected to bring 830,000 barrels of Canadian crude to Gulf refineries upon inauguration.​

​

The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday the White House is now facing the consequences of its own war on domestic energy projects using fossil fuels but refuses to reverse course.​

​

“Biden administration officials are seeking ways to boost oil imports from Canada, people familiar with the situation say, but with one big caveat—they don’t want to resurrect the Keystone XL pipeline that President Biden effectively killed on his first day in office,” the Journal wrote. “The people said deliberations are in early stages and that no clear-cut solutions have emerged.”​

​

Instead, White House alternatives point to rail for transport, undermining the purpose of its Keystone cancellation with environmental risks and emissions elevated in comparison to those presented by pipeline.​

​

“Canada could export some more oil via rail, according to analysts and others familiar with the situation, and it could also pump more oil by increasing pressure on existing lines or by installing larger pipelines along permitted routes,” the Journal added. “Those options, however, offer limited potential because rail transport is expensive and existing pipelines are at or near capacity.”​

​

When explaining options to circumnavigate the surprise shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline after a ransomware attack last spring, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm explained her preference for pipe over rail for its reliability.​

The refineries that closed during Trump and are still closed today?

The oil doesn't belong to the US. You don't seem to know anything about the Free Trade Zone.

I know that as soon as you call something a "free trade zone," you state that elsewhere trade is not to be free.

You know what oil does belong to the US? US Oil.

Team Biden never should have stopped US companies from drilling for US oil, while facilitating the Russian pipeline. Somehow they did not realize what everyone with more than two brain cells easily predicted: that it would embolden Russia by making Europe more dependent on them than ever.

Then in a tantrum, they blew up the Russian pipeline, at a time when Putin was already threatening nuclear war. Yeah, them some foreign policy geniuses, alright!

The US increased oil purchases from Russia because Trump placed sanctions on Venezuela.

What a stupid article, but it is the Federalist.

There are other pipelines, and means of acquiring Canadian oil than the Keystone Pipeline, which was a bad idea to begin with.

Environmentalists opposed the pipeline in part because of the oil it would carry — oil sands crude from Alberta. It requires more processing than most oil, so producing it emits more greenhouse gases.'


Who shut down Keystone?
TransCanada shut down a portion of the Keystone XL Pipeline after they "reported a spill of about 187 gallons of crude oil" near the Freeman pump station in Hutchinson County, South Dakota.

Building the Keystone pipeline and opening up the Tar Sands will negatively impact national and local economies: Burning the recoverable tar sands oil will increase the earth's temperature by a minimum of 2 degree Celsius, which NYU Law School's Environmental Law Center estimates could permanently cut the US GDP by 2.5 ...

10 Reasons Why The Keystone XL Pipeline Is A Terrible Idea​

Last month, the TransCanada Co. got the nod of approval from the Nebraska Public Service Commission to build the controversial $8 billion, 875-mile Keystone XL pipeline, which when completed, will carry up to 830,000 barrels of crude oil to refineries along the Texas Gulf Coast. Back in 2015, President Obama rejected the pipeline’s permit after finding the project’s significant risks outweighed its very limited benefits. But in March 2017, President Trump signed a permit allowing TransCanada to begin the pipeline construction.

The risks of the Keystone XL to our waters, land and climate have not changed though. Below is a list of 10 reasons why the pipeline is a terrible idea—a project which will only bring more damage to our country and people, and a plan which will never live up to the good touted by the government.

1. It won’t create more jobs.​

Industry predictions in 2010 claimed that the project would be of utmost positivity to the economy, by “putting 20,000 US workers to work and spending $7 billion, thus stimulating the US economy.” However, the TransCanada company told the U.S. State Department the pipeline would only create 50 permanent jobs after it is built. While the building of the pipeline itself would generate more jobs (almost 2,000 jobs over two years), these are temporary and still quite small-scale for a national jobs count. Conversely, the Department of Energy reports that in the last year the economy has created 230,000 new clean energy and efficiency jobs, accounting for 10% of the nation’s job growth.

2. The pipeline will run dangerously close to drinking water.​

In the states of Montana, South Dakota, and Nebraska alone, the pipeline would cross 1,073 rivers, lakes and streams, not to mention tens of thousands of acres of wetlands. In many cases, it will run within a mile of more than 3,000 wells that provide drinking and irrigation water in those states.

3. Bad Water. Bad Food.​

The real jobs in jeopardy here are those on the ranches and farms —110,000 of them —which produce $41.6 billion worth of food in 2012 in the breadbasket of America (Montana, South Dakota, and Nebraska).
On top of potential damage to crops, farmers and landowners alike from Texas to Montana have been threatened with land repossession by eminent domain—the law that says a private company can come in and take part of your property if it can prove to the government that doing so will benefit the general public. Julia Crawford, a Texan landowner, says: “As a landowner, property rights are key to my livelihood and family legacy. A foreign corporation pumping foreign oil simply does not qualify as a common carrier under Texas law. TransCanada does not get to write their own rules. I look forward to the Supreme Court hearing our case and our plea to protect the fundamental rights of property owners.”
Take a step back and let’s look at the grand picture: a foreign company with no ties to the U.S. is demanding land from U.S. landowners to carry oil that will, most likely, end up exported worldwide. How is this “benefitting the general public?”

4. Gas prices will rise.​

According to an analysis by the Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations, “Keystone XL will divert Tar Sands oil now supplying Midwest refineries, so it can be sold at higher prices to the Gulf Coast and export markets. As a result, consumers in the Midwest could be paying 10 to 20 cents more per gallon for gasoline and diesel fuel. These additional costs (estimated to total $2 to $4 billion) will suppress other spending and will therefore cost jobs.”
Unfortunately, more oil doesn’t necessary translate to lower gas prices. Because oil is a global commodity, its price is impacted by its supply and demand in other countries.

The Federalist is playing you. Do you know the difference between Canadian crude oil and Chinese tarsands?

All of this could of been avoided if we had a President with an I.Q. higher than his shoe size. He really must have some small ass feet.

They never had the keystone pipeline with tramp, there were too many lawsuits.

So, our only choices are to support Biden, or to be dead due to lack of water and food?

We were able to get water and food for ourselves when we were still swinging from the trees, but now that somehow depends on a dementia patient currently being denied treatment?

Lies infected America in 2020. The very worst were not just damaging, but deadly.

President Donald Trump fueled confusion and conspiracies from the earliest days of the coronavirus pandemic. He embraced theories that COVID-19 accounted for only a small fraction of the thousands upon thousands of deaths. He undermined public health guidance for wearing masks and cast Dr. Anthony Fauci as an unreliable flip-flopper.
