Report: Cancelling Keystone Will Boost Carbon Emissions Equal to Nearly 500K More Cars on Road

[ClaireH]

Dems are DUMB. The oil is still going to be burned, by foreign countries who don't have the environmental protections in place. Hell more carbon will be burned just getting it across the ocean. Biden is possibly the dumbest president in human history.

Q morons are the dumbest!
The keystone pipeline was specifically being built to
EXPORT Canadian oil, whereas the Canadian oil transported in the already existing pipeline can only be sold in the USA!!!!

True-but at least three US states were about to benefit financially BIG time due to direct and indirect jobs getting it to the Gulf Coast. Major loss for many.

In my opinion, if the claim in this article is true, then it means that canceling the pipeline has everything to do with virtue signalling, and nothing to do with actually reducing carbon emissions.

President Joe Biden’s cancellation of the permit for the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, in the name of curbing climate change, will cause an enormous amount of CO2 to be released into the atmosphere, according to the Energy Equipment and Infrastructure Alliance (EEIA), because oil from Canada will still travel by diesel-fueled trains to U.S. refineries at the Gulf.

“We have all heard about the thousands of jobs that will be lost with the cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline, but a little basic math reveals that President Biden's Keystone decision will increase carbon emissions equal to putting nearly half a million more cars on the road,” said the EEIA in a press alert.

An analysis by the energy supply chain group, Energy Equipment & Infrastructure Alliance (EEIA), does the math about what not completing the Keystone XL pipeline would mean for carbon emissions. Here's how the CO2 numbers are calculated:

“According to the Association of American Railroads, it requires 433 gallons of locomotive diesel fuel to pull one loaded crude oil tank car from the Canadian Oil Sands to the U.S. Gulf Coast, about 2,200 miles. It takes another 144 gallons to bring the empty tank car back for a refill. That's 577 gallons total.

“It takes 645 loaded tank cars per day to transport the amount of oil that Keystone XL might have carried - about 400,000 barrels per day. That's 235,425 tank car loads per year. Multiplied by 577 gallons each, that amounts to about 136 million gallons of diesel burned per year.

“Since each gallon of diesel emits 22.44 pounds of CO2, that means the locomotives pulling those trains will emit over 1.5 million tons of CO2. That's all net addition to CO2 emissions since Keystone XL would have been powered entirely by renewable energy. “

1.5 million tons of CO2 is equivalent to emissions of 490,000 more cars on the road.”

In a statement, EEIA CEO Toby Mack said, "In the real world, Canadian oil will still travel from Alberta, Canada to U.S. refineries on the Gulf Coast, but by railroad. We know that jobs will be lost.”

“The Administration said the pipeline was cancelled to help the environment, so we ask the questions, 'What is the real impact on our carbon footprint? What's the impact on overall CO2 levels?” said Mack.

"It's clear that politics, not a commitment to the environment, dictated the Biden Administration's decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline," he added.

FAKE NEWS!

how so? what is fake? you know the oil will be transported right? how do you supposed that will happen? please share that brilliance with us?

it will be transported by the same pipeline it has always been transported on. IDIOT!
That's right we already have a pipeline transporting Canadian oil.

Biden stopped it.

He stopped Keystone XL pipeline there already is a Keystone pipeline that pumps Canadian oil.

if he stops a pipeline, the oil that would have traversed it stays on the highways. know that.

Suddenly we're supposed to listen to experts again when it comes to science. I wish the right wing loons would make up their minds.

Q morons are the dumbest!

True-but at least three US states were about to benefit financially BIG time due to direct and indirect jobs getting it to the Gulf Coast. Major loss for many.

If it was so important why did it take Trump three years to okay the pipeline?

 

[22lcidw]

Cancelling it will not boost emissions.

The emissions will stay the same as they are now.

It cost up to 3 times more to transport the oil by train then by pipeline. Stupid Prog pride.

What a crock of shit. Right off the bat, moving by train means more American jobs than doing it via pipeline. Canadian tar sand sludge is disgusting crap. The Canadians would obviously refine it themselves if it were worth the bother. No one needs that crud. Leave it in the ground.

You make a good point about that low grade crude oil...CA very happy to . rid of it. A few ears back it was stopping up machinery..wonder if it's the same case. Anyway...anything with the words "tar sand sludge" doesn't sound easy to move anywhere fast.

Cancelling the keystone XL Pipeline is a major gift to China. I have to wonder (along with tens of millions of others at a minimum) if that's a "by-product" of Biden's handlers goal to work fast with little care for details (45 EO's to date) or....is in fact a product of behind the scenes deals made by ole Joe or his son due to being in the pocket of CCP with Yi connection.
Joe Biden inked 45 executive orders so far: From Covid-19 to immigration, here's the complete list

"I've written here before about the great gift to China which is the entire Biden energy agenda. At the same time he will be watching Canada’s oil go to China, Biden will be buying Chinese wind and solar technologies with borrowed American tax dollars. Meanwhile, Russia will be selling its natural gas to Europe, while America will join the other eunuchs of the Paris Climate Accord to keep China and Russia laughing at all of us.
"Canceling Keystone XL Pipeline is a gift to China and Russia

What about the other thirty thousand pipelines pumping oil and gas in the USA?

One company alone owns about 83,000 miles of pipeline.

Keystone was less than 2,000 miles. Is a drop of water in the ocean. Both sides have made looney claims about how important or how evil the project is.

It all depends upon who you ask...whether this pipeline is a loss or not. Personally I won't be impacted, but I don't limit what's a good thing by my own yardstick. The good of the whole has a different meaning too..one can look at what's best for the states as being "the whole" or, what's best for foreign allies, or what's best for countries who hate that the US does anything well.

 

[Polishprince]

Cancelling it will not boost emissions.

The emissions will stay the same as they are now.

Bullshit. Pipelines use Gravity to propel the cargo, which is a lot more green than diesel or coal

 

[airplanemechanic]

Of course it will. Democrats are too stupid to realize this. We need the oil. If we don't get it there we get it from somewhere. We have no choice.

I personally know two people that contracted covid both are fine today...I personally know 9 people that lost their job to closing the pipeline down and they are not fine today....
