They have made it clear.Well it certainly is what you want them to want, I'll give you that!China Joe does not know what is going on. Compromise is not what they want. One party rule is what they want.Basic logic I guess.Wow.Lets see....he is implementing the vaccines that Trump was already implementing
Great job
He killed 11,000 Keystone jobs yet the transport of that product is now being sent via train and truck and not gravity but at a greater cost.
In reality about a thousand job were lost. The project should have been approved by legislation not an EO that can be overwritten by the next president. Like membership in the WHO, or that Paris Accord nonsense, without legislation.
There was no oil flowing through the incomplete pipeline. How on earth is that non-existent oil being sent via train or any other method?
The Empire State Building took years to build. but it dictated rental rates in Manhattan the day they broke ground.
I see you have never been a business owner.
That's OK...many aren't.
The pipeline is meant to increase production. There is nothing that will prevent the other methods of shipping oil from still being used is there? The completion of the first branch didn't stop the trains did it? What makes you think the Oil Patch is going to stop using trains?
A pipeline uses little to no combustible energy. It uses gravity and inertia. Once flowing, the flow itself creates the inertia. The amount that flows is based on the amount produced. So an incomplete pipeline means there is a need to use combustible energy to transport it.
So what you are saying is since it was not complete yet, it had no value.....actually it does, but that whole idea of "economic forecasting" seemed to have escaped you. It is actually a principle in running a business.
Furthermore, once complete, the "damage" to the environment will be minimized by the amount of fuel being able to be transported by gravity and inertia through the pipeline as opposed to that same amount being transported by train and truck.
Yeah...I know....you can throw in "what about this and what about that".....but that doesn't fly with me
I simply stated basic physics and basic logic......
Thanks for your time
That was part of the justification of the original Keystone pipeline. Yet they are still using trains to move oil. What I've said first is that the permitting process should have gone through Congress not approved with an EO.
Pipelines are safer and I hope Joe is planning on using this and the oil lease sale pause as bargaining chips in a future compromise agreement.
