The enviro nuts turned out in force to ensure we stay dependent on oil from nations not friendly to us.

What does piping oil to the gulf, at tax payers expense, so it can be sold on the world market, have to-do with our staying dependent on foreign oil, refine it in the north if you want to help the us market.

It’s my undestanding it’s being piped to the refineries in Texas for our use.

Yeah, let’s waste more billions on solar panels and windmills that don’t work and damage the landscape way more than this pipeline ever will.

what do you mean taxpayer’s expense? evidence please.
To: jazusamo
Wrong, newt said the other-day, it was not. There is no way the existing refineries can take the load. Canadian oil companies want to run the pipe across the united states for the tax freebies. Let them pay for it and run it to Olympia.

refine it in the north if you want to help the us market. Why? There's already refineries in the south. How does refining and shipping separated product help, or how is it cost-effective?
To: Argus
Exactly! The enviro nuts consider any energy not renewable energy taboo but renewable energy is horribly inefficient and costs way more.

Once again, you reveal your ignorance.
The refined products will be consumed in the US of A. We no longer export finished product, except under special circumstances (i.e., under contract, in exchange for crude from Mexico, bunker fuel for ships returning to foreign ports).
All the distributive pipelines in the US market originate on the Gulf Coast, where the refineries are. In order to distribute from northern refineries, a whole new set of distributive pipelines would need to be built.
You can generally count on businesses to make the most efficient economic decisions. Whether you agree with them or not.

If you do not know what depreciation/and depletion is, it is to late for me to explain it to you.

I live about 75 feet from a segment of pipe that was part of "The Big Inch". It bisects the nation for well over a thousand miles.
I've noticed that the squirrels two streets North are predominantly black this year, but on this side of the bisection they are gray. In other years they've been red here, gray there, or white there and black here.
Oh the humanity.
Who are these econuts who imagine a pipeline bisects anything. For the most part it's going to be 30 feet deep in the ground!
There's already a substantial pipeline into the area. This is an ADDITIONAL PIPELINE.
The great advantage is this will pipe the oil to EXISTING year round refineries.

You realize that there is some profit derived by the refiner--why shouldn't it be in the U. S.? And, there's a pretty good transportation infrastructure centered around Oklahoma. Isn't that more centrally located than the Canadian field for distribution around the U. S.? And why build refineries up there if they exist here?
Now, if my assumptions are wrong, and the pipeline will cause some problems, tell me about it, and I'll reconsider my take on the situation.

Just think of the thousands of americans, forced to sell their property in a down real estate market. Guess bitching about cities taking property and selling to investors is not ok now.

What tax freebies? Don't you realize that the pipeline that runs it West is a CHICOM pipeline. They are stealing oil that should be ours by all that's right and holy.
We don't need more Chicom interests in our country, or Canada! Americans who want to give stuff to the Chicoms should be investigated closely and punished appropriately.

There is nothing wrong with building new refriners, just south of the border is there. At least they would not be shutting down and running up price everytime a storm hits the gulf.
