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

[LilOlLady]

Less than two years before the project was finally pulled, the Keystone tar sands pipeline was temporarily shut down after a spill in North Dakota of reportedly more than 378,000 gallons in late October 2019,

No matter how you look at it, Keystone XL would be bad for wildlife, especially endangered species. Many imperiled species live along the proposed pipeline's path and in areas where tar-sands oil is produced. If the pipeline were built, it would decimate habitat these species rely on.

The pipeline would cross less than 100 miles from the headquarters of the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation and run directly through sacred and historic sites as well as the ancestral lands of the Gros Ventre and Assiniboine Tribes.

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 ...

Biden imposes Nord Stream 2 sanctions

Right back at ya, dumbass.

Germany was first.
But following Russia’s incursion into breakaway regions in Ukraine this week, Germany also turned against the pipeline. On Tuesday, it announced that it would block its certification.

President Biden on Wednesday announced sanctions against the company behind a controversial Russian natural gas pipeline in response to Moscow’s decision to send troops into eastern Ukraine.

Germany halts Nord Stream 2 certification, US imposes sanctions​

Feb. 22, 2022
Germany stopped the certification process for the controversial 55-billion cu m/year Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline Feb. 22 following advances by Russian troops into eastern Ukraine.



It's Germany that matters, the pipeline is already complete, and...............it's their pipeline/natural gas that would have occupied it.

Sanctions imposed by the US and other NATO nations are moot at this point.

Wrong.

Wow, that's a dumbass way to answer!

Nothing to support your argument?

Let's try this the dumbass way:

You are wrong.

There, that settles the argument, dumbass!

Shhh

Republicans think Keystone provides all of our oil

Shhh....you think this bit of idiocy is true.

 

[surada]

The Keystone cancelling was just part of Team Biden's war on fossil fuels which is of course a part of the war on The American worker.

The keystone XL is for exporting Chinese tarsands. There is no benefit to US consumers or taxpayers.

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.

Keystone has unused pipeline capacity all over the US.

You're dumb. You don't know the difference between Canadian crude oil and Canadian tarsands.

 

[surada]

In other words, it's a raw product that can be refined into gasoline.

Why is the truth so hard?

Keystone XL only benefits the Chinese owners of Canadian tarsands.

The oil we are talking about is tar sand oil. That is extremely corrosive and will eat through the metal in the pipeline. That is why people who live in the area do not want it. I do not want that junk in my car either.

 

[busybee01]

And that has nothing to do with the OP.

Yes it does. Keystone is not the only way to get oil considering the fact that it was more than a year away.

 

[busybee01]

And if the keystone pipeline was up as planned before biden fucked it up, there would be over 800,000 more bpd in the US.

Junk oil.

 

[busybee01]

What does oil companies making record profits have to do with it? Go look at any other industry where supply impacted their products and services and demand skyrocketed. What happened to their profits.

You people need to get over this demonization of oil companies. Why not put that energy and focus on viable Green Energy to replace oil? Right now, that is all talk.

Oil company executives states overwhelmingly in a Dallas Fed poll that shareholders not politicians are keeping them from doing more drilling. It wasn't even c lose at 59% to 7%.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Tarsands are like fudge consistency, very corrosive. They practically give it away at 29 dollars a barrel. The XL would make money for the Chinese.

So we're pumping fudge through a pipeline?

 

[busybee01]

There's no doubt that the artificial shortages Biden created have been a huge favor to the companies who own millions of barrels bought pre-Biden that they can now sell at Biden-era prices.

The goal shouldn't be to make oil companies wealthier, as Biden has done. The goal should be to require wealth seekers to offer better products at lower prices. The free market does this naturally.

The artificial shortages that the oil industry has created. More misinformation from you.

 

[surada]

So we're pumping fudge through a pipeline?

They have to dilute it with light sweet crude from Libya.

 

[initforme]

As long as NONE of that oil is allowed to leave our shores then it would be feasible.

 

[surada]

Lol what do you think the free trade zone is about? NONE of the tarsands in the keystone XL can be sold in the US.

 

[initforme]

So we need to build that pipeline because we need extra oil, but the oil will leave our shores.
