Biden's decision to cancel Keystone is one the US will eventually regret.

Is this the beginning of the end for gas/diesel powered vehicles?

Run the pipeline under hi-ways into America, have a major works project and do cool shit like animal crossings.


We will eventually stick a straw in that, but there is no rush. And no reason to tear up the wilderness.

Admittedly, I didn't read the whole opinion, because that's all it is. I got to "When oil prices next boom (and trust me, they will)...", I quit reading. Why would I trust what the author said? He has no name recognition to me. He's just another shmo, talking. It appears to me to be CNN's effort to be fair to the nuts. Don't ever tell me again about how we need to rid ourselves of foreign oil dependence. That shit goes back to the early 70's and gas lines.

The Keystone XL pipeline deals almost exclusively with tar sand oil. It is the filthyist oil on earth. It's also very expensive to process.

In fact, right now with oil prices low, It's not even being used. It won't be used until oil goes sky high again because that's the only way it becomes cost effective.

Clearly, whoever wrote the article is essentially clueless.

How is it not top of list to reject that shit crude from Canada because it crosses to Ogallala Aquifer? Any spill that reaches the aquifer could ruin drinking water and farming in the Plains states.
that's the reason why canada doesn't want to refine that crap. they care about their enviro and voted it down.

Now I’m not an expert on this but from what I understand is Tx needs this oil. Now if you don’t want Canada’s then you’ll have to get it from an overseas sandbox. Now shipping oil by boat is by far the worlds most polluting way of transportation. Boats use a by product of oil that is like burning asphalt I think?? So one way or another the oil goes to Texas.
How much pollution do you want to make to get it there?
