Trump calls for Keystone XL revival with incoherent strategy

[Mac-7]

No one is going to eliminate oil .
Humans need that for so many things in our lives.
Marine life?
Not so much.

Maybe

The preferred lib strategy is to make oil scarce and expensive

NO.................
THAT would be oil companies.

 

[Mac-7]

NO.................
THAT would be oil companies.

For oil companies there is a fine balance

If the price of oil is too low they lose money

But if the price is too high that depresses demand and their profits go down

You'd think even the Left would support an infrastructure project that employs American construction workers, reduces energy costs, and brings in revenue to the United States.

By the way, the pipeline is intended to transport US crude as well...

"The Keystone XL pipeline segments were intended to allow American crude oil to enter the XL pipelines at Baker, Montana, on their way to the storage and distribution facilities at Cushing, Oklahoma. Cushing is a major crude oil marketing/refining and pipeline hub."

No need to mention how brilliant this will turn out to be once Canada becomes our 51st state.

The United States has over 2.6 million miles of pipelines, which is enough to circle the Earth about 100 times. This network includes natural gas pipelines, oil pipelines, and other pipelines.

But you just claimed it was "libs".

 

[Winco]

Trump should build the pipeline if for no other reason than just to piss the Left off.

That ^^^ is truly what the CULT wants from a Leader/King

No.

 

[Mac-7]

But you just claimed it was "libs".

Libs are the problem in our society

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Libs are the problem in our society

The Trump cult is even worse.........TRAITORS.

 

[Mac-7]

The Trump cult is even worse.........TRAITORS.

Yes, trying to reduce a $2 TRILLION budget deficit is a horrible idea

And shame on the orange blob for putting America first ahead of migrants

Again, the pipeline exists already. Either way it doesn't matter.

So, Trump wants a Canadian company, TransCanada, to continue building the pipeline to pump Canadian tar sand from Canada to the US coast for export out of the US so that the United States won’t be reliant on foreign oil after Trump slaps tariffs on Canada after threatening to make Canada part of the United States?

It’s time for someone to take away Trump’s iPhone because there is so much that’s weird, random and non-linear about that incoherent strategy.

Moving that oil through a pipeline is safer than using train cars.
Refining that oil in Gulf Coast refineries is good for the US.
It would have also carried US oil.

The United States has over 2.6 million miles of pipelines, which is enough to circle the Earth about 100 times. This network includes natural gas pipelines, oil pipelines, and other pipelines.

So what. That's 40 feet per person, which is just about as irrelevant. And if we build the Keystone XL, it will still be 2.6 million miles.

If pipelines are good, then we need more of them.

Are you saying they are bad? So you would prefer we transport flammable liquids and gases on our 5 million miles of roads?

What is your point, if you have one?

 

[debbiedowner]

Speaking of incoherence, where's the part where he says that Keystone will make it so we're not reliant on foreign oil?

A little history of the pipeline with all the oil being exported.

BTW SCOTUS was the first to shut it down under Trump.

US Supreme Court deals blow to Keystone oil pipeline project

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court handed another setback to the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline from Canada on Monday by keeping in place a lower court ruling that blocked a key environmental permit for the project.

apnews.com

Keystone was proposed in 2008 and would carry up to 830,000 barrels (35 million gallons) of crude daily to Nebraska, where it would be transferred to another TC Energy pipeline for shipment to refineries and export terminals on the Gulf of Mexico

Keystone XL Pipeline Lawsuits

The massive pipeline threatened our climate and public health—and the government’s approvals violated environmental laws. So we went to court.

After Obama killed the project in 2015 ... TransCanada filed under NAFTA Chapter 11 in 2016 claiming breach of contract (delay)

Trump signed an EO in 2017 approving the project
Trump issued Presidential Permit for the project in 2019
Alberta agreed to provide investment funds for the project March 2020
Construction on the project started April 2020
Biden killed the project 2021

The fact that it's not built isn't on Trump it's on Obama (the project was initiated in 2010) and Biden.

What a dud. SCOTUS shut it down in 2020. Biden pulled the permit in 2021

There is already a pipeline.

Price is no object.

Party over Country.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

There is already a pipeline.

There are many pipelines.
This would be an additional one.

The pipelines leak you forgot that point.

 

[Zincwarrior]

The addition is fine, lack of an addition is fine. It doesn't matter for the US economy.
