re: Ever asked yourself why they tried to build the XL pipeline

Los Alamitos CA

Description

"Why would the oil companies not build a refinery near the oil source instead? Building and maintaining this pipeline is more costly than building a refinery at tar sands." OK, they build the refinery next to the tar sands deposits. Now how are they going to ship the refined product to market? They'll have to build - wait for it - pipelines! So why build a refinery in the first place if you're going to have to build the pipelines anyway? "The pipeline construction has very little to do with delivering oil from one place to another. Could this oil pipeline have something to do with taking land from farmers through a proves called eminent domain? " Sorry, it doesn't work like that. The pipeline operator establishes a right-of-way so they can build and maintain the pipe. They can't do anything else on the right-of-way. They can't mine for lithium or gold or kryptonite. The original property owner still maintains ownership. "It makes no sense to build a pipe to transport nearly worthless oil when. we have more clean oil resources than we will ever use. " Remember what happened to the price of gasoline just 7 short months ago when biden cancelled the pipeline? It skyrocketed!! The cancelled pipeline along with the fracking ban and the ban on E&P in the ANWR forced us to go from energy independence to energy dependence. Just crazy stupid. "Who is the remaining Koch brother and why was he and his deceased brother so intent on making this project happen?" To save America from the liberals who certainly appear to want to destroy it. "Before you blindly support a cause based on the recommendations of political leaders, you should dig for the fundamental truths of that cause first." Yes you should.
