Report: Cancelling Keystone Will Boost Carbon Emissions Equal to Nearly 500K More Cars on Road
Report: Cancelling Keystone Will Boost Carbon Emissions Equal to Nearly 500K More Cars on Road
February 8, 2021
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.
Q morons are the dumbest!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.
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!!!!
I don't know what you're asking...am I in favor of drilling oil in the US as opposed to buying it from abroad? Yes. Am I in favor of continuing to pump and pump without end? No. A phase-in period (10-20 years) is necessary to allow for a sustainable transition to renewable energy to be effectively utilized. That also means that corps have adequate time to continue to invest in green energy. As you know, eventually we'll run out and to prepare for future generations a transitional phase- that doesn't wipe out numbers of jobs but retrains workforce to continue to work in energy sector during and following transition.What about the other thirty thousand pipelines pumping oil and gas in the USA?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.

each gallon of diesel emits 22.44 pounds of CO2
BULLSHIT!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....
Yes YOU are!The keystone pipeline was specifically being built to

Liar.
Link to your proof that it is fake news?FAKE NEWS!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.

Yep. Shutting the pipeline down means emissions continued emissionsHe stopped Keystone XL pipeline there already is a Keystone pipeline that pumps Canadian oil.Biden stopped it.it will be transported by the same pipeline it has always been transported on. IDIOT!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?FAKE NEWS!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.

That's right we already have a pipeline transporting Canadian oil.

each gallon of diesel emits 22.44 pounds of CO2
A VERY IMPRESSIVE FEAT considering that the most a gallon of diesel fuel weighs per US gallon is up to 8 pounds!
How Much Does a Gallon of Diesel Weigh? - Off-Roading Pro
The weight depends on fuel grade and unit of measurement used. A U.S. gallon weighs 6.82-8.0 lbs. The U.S. dry gallon and imperial gallon weighs 7.93-9.32offroadingpro.com
Anyone who manages to get 22 pounds of CO2 out of 7-8 pounds of diesel is a fucking MAGICIAN.
Yes YOU are!The keystone pipeline was specifically being built to
EXPORT Canadian oil,
Liar.
The oil was being sent to the gulf for export, whereas the oil sent to the midwest refineries could only be sold in the USA. But you knew that already when you lied.
Hey dumb shit they would be less with the pipeline.Cancelling it will not boost emissions.
The emissions will stay the same as they are now.
Molecular mass of C10H20 is 140g/mol, 85.7% carbon.
Molecular mass of C15H28 is 208g/mol, 86.5% carbon.
Either would give you about 6.88 pounds of carbon per 8 pounds of diesel.
CO2 has a molecular mass of 44g/mol, 3.67 times that of carbon.
6.88 x 3.67 = about 25 pounds of CO2

And the dominoes all fall into place. HoLeCow, I did not know thatHere is another interesting tidbit. Warren Buffet has the contract to move that oil by train. Buffet also contributed $58 Million to the democrats. So you see the cancellation of the pipeline has more to it.
