Gas prices climb steadily. Quote Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday said he was “disappointed” in President Biden’s pledge to revoke a permit for the controversial Keystone XL pipeline — as the company behind it said work on the project was being suspended. In a statement issued following Biden’s inauguration, Trudeau said he “spoke directly” to Biden about the $8 billion project in November, and other Canadian officials “made the case” in favor of it “to high-level officials in the incoming administration.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gas prices climb steadily. The Keystone XL pipeline being rejected actually will prevent more dependence on oil from the middle east. It is complicated, but the Keystone XL pipeline is for Canada to export their oil globally, currently they are forced to sell that oil for less than market value to the northern US. The US imports very little oil from the middle east, we import the majority from Canada. Mexico is also a very large source of oil. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GutterBoy 2,281 Posted January 21, 2021 Also, that oil is gonna find it's way to the US anyway, it's just gonna happen over train, which takes longer and costs more, so it's not like it's gonna help climate change. Another situation of the stupid democrats think they're doing something good to prevent climate change, but all they are doing is focking over a bunch of people and the climate will be the same.

The main competition for them will be west texas and oklahoma. The US is the largest oil producer in the world and completing the keystone xl pipeline could very well cost americans their jobs.

But they are limited to how far they can ship that oil by train. They are selling it to northern US for less than they could get on the global market. This is canada's complaint.

MTSkiBum 1,594 Posted January 21, 2021 The keystone XL pipeline is clearly good if you are a Canadian oil producer. It is also pretty good if you are a texas refinery, since it adds another source of competition for the input into the refineries. What is not clear is if it is good for American consumers or the american job market. It may increase gasoline prices in the northern US since now Canada can sell that oil elsewhere. It may also cost drilling jobs in Texas and Oklahoma. There are also some red herrings around the keystone XL pipeline as far as environmental concerns. The keystone XL will not effect global warming as it does nothing to effect the demand or the supply. The keystone XL pipeline does not increase the risk of environmental damage since oil is instead being shipped by train. To be honest I have no idea where i stand on the pipeline today. I think a better idea would be to build a pipeline to North Dakota instead of Canada. Although since the Keystone XL pipeline is funded by a Canadian company that may not go over too well.
