Hawkeye21 2,401 Posted March 7, 2022 I've seen this being shared on Facebook. Is this accurate? I knew it was being worked on but I don't see how it would've raised gas prices if it finished. For those saying "Open Keystone Pipeline" here are a few things you need to know... 1. It is open. It currently transports 540,000 barrels of oil per day. 2. Keystone Pipeline carries "tar sands oil" which is not used to make gasoline 3. The oil it carries comes from Canada, not the United States. It is still imported. 4. Keystone Pipeline is privately owned by a foreign company by the name of TransCanada. 5. What you are referring to is Keystone Pipeline XL. The XL portion is an extension to the existing Keystone Pipeline. 6. Keystone Pipeline XL was 8% constructed. It is still years away from 100% completion. 7. TransCanada has canceled the project completely. That means the OWNER is no longer building or looking to finish the project. 8. TransCanada obtained the land to build the extension on through eminent domain lawsuits. A private, foreign company, stealing land from American citizens who did not want it on their property. 9. TransCanada, the owner of both Keystone Pipeline and Keystone Pipeline XL admitted that the XL portion would INCREASE fuel prices in the Midwest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The oil industry on a global scale is a speculative industry. When you start shutting things down you send a message to those speculators. When you hire the former CEO of Exxon as Secretary of State you also send a message to those speculators. I’ll let you guess who did what. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cyclone24 1,914 Posted March 8, 2022 Wait what am I missing here. So now our government is saying we will not stand in the way of any NATO country that wants to send in fighter jets. Specifically Poland. Well that’s great and all but then Russia shoots down one of these planes and now we have to defend Poland which is basically like us going in. While I wait for a response I’m going to go out and start digging a bunker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KSB2424 3,148 Posted March 8, 2022 There is a co-worker of mine (an engineer) who is from Ukraine, I gave him last week as I didn't want to pry but we went to lunch today. He's been trying to get his parents out of there but they refuse to leave, and want to fight for their country. He said his mom has a shotgun and sits by the widow. His 'elementary' school that he attended was blown up and destroyed. Crazy to hear him talk about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any notion that he knows anything about anything went down the toilet.

By the way, I read a random report today somewhere that "Ukraine has ample aircraft available to them" which I took to mean NATO is going to give them aircraft under the table. That random release sets the stage for them to act like they had these planes all along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
