Thanks for playing, but facts don't always do what you want them to. Oh, and gas prices were at their highest during the Republican administration that preceded Obama.

You want low gas prices? Advocate wind, solar and other crunchy energy sources that put our boys out of work. I agree the president has little impact on gasoline prices. There are other significant factors at play than purely COVID demand. Demand is coming back to pre-COVID demand but the prices are higher than they have been in almost a decade. High gasoline prices are not great for the oil and gas industry as a whole. High oil prices and natural gas prices are great news for the people you mention. Refiners are getting hammered by high oil and natural prices. There are also significant supply issues causing the gasoline prices. Wind and solar are actually part of the reason for the spike in crude and natural gas prices which is not helping gasoline prices. The answer to lower gasoline prices is more refining capacity but politics won't allow that to happen. Much like the huge push for electrification is going to increase the need for reliable electricity but politics will only allow the building of intermittent electricity sources which is going to create an increase in need and price for natural gas and coal as well as increased instability in electricity supply.

Most people misunderstand what the pipeline was for and the effect that it would have. Although to be honest it is a moot point now since Canada has mostly figured out workarounds. However the pipeline was designed for Canada to get their oil to the global market, which would have had the net negative effect of increasing oil/gasoline prices in the upper mid west. The reason that the pipeline would actually cause higher oil/gasoline prices is because Canada could not sell their oil for market value and had to take less than market value to sell the oil locally.

There is a huge amount of oil trapped and production shut in in Alberta. Keystone XL did not have enough take away capacity to warrant a significant increase in the price of Canadian Crude going into PADD 2. Now, if Energy East and Northern Gateway had been constructed as planned then yes there would have been a significant increase in the price of Canadian crude. As you said the point is moot as none of the 3 pipeline projects were constructed. Alberta is screwed. They have huge oil resources, global prices and demand are increasing rapidly and they have no way to increase take away capacity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
