we need more oil ... TO SELL !
U.S. Oil Exports Hit 57 Year High - Breitbart
After becoming the world’s largest producer of natural gas in 2010, the United States also became the world’s largest producer of petroleum last month. With U.S. production and exports driving crude oil prices down and forcing other producers to crank up production to maintain cash flow..
come on TD, remind everyone how much My country needs YOUR country.
I've never said how much your country needs my country in particular. You import from a wide variety of sources as need be.
I have said we are your number one supplier. Which is a fact. Oh and we do buy not only refined products back but raw crude as well.
It's called commerce between two friendly nations.
Like from the Bakkens. Did you know it was the Bakken crude travelling on rail was what ignited in the Lac Megantic rail disaster?
I believe that transporting crude needs to be discussed vigorously to have a proper debate on which method we employ. From what I've researched intently as a conservationist I'm picking my poison. I choose pipeline over rail and transport truck.
Rail to me is a disaster waiting to happen because rail lines go thru many cities and towns and I sure as hell don't want to see another Lac Megantic EVAH.
Close to 50 people burned alive man. With Bakken crude on rail.

My problem with the Keystone pipeline has less to do with the environment, and much more to do with the fact that they're stealing private land via eminent domain to build it on.
The fact that the people who will have the pipeline running through their backyards are opposed to it is enough reason for me to oppose it.
I'm curious as to how you guys reconcile your claims of "property rights" with your support of government-enforced theft of private property.
They did it for the interstate system. Where were you crying in your grits for those people? Or is it only evil if its an oil pipeline?
Most persons are able to drive on the Interstates. Will I be able to make use of the pipelines?
Yea, the gas in your tank would cost half of what it used to. THAT would benefit everyone.
And no, putting a road through the farmers field down the street benefits locals only. There is no benefit to the man living on 124 Main street in San Francisco. So it does NOT benefit the entire nation.
FALSE
KXL 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 $2–4 billion) will suppress other spending and will therefore cost jobs.

Far left propaganda..
You are one ignorant fuck. All you do is spew far right wing propaganda. NEVER anything with documentation.
