Great Question. If We Take The Senate. Can The GOP Take The Keystone Matter To Court? Continue Construction?

Tarsands are going to several refineries and that is sold in the US, but keystone XL is strictly an export pipeline that goes to the Free Trade Zone.

Three Facts You Should Know About the Keystone XL Tar Sands Pipeline and Exports

When he vetoed legislation meant to force approval of the proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline last week, President Obama noted that the project is designed largely as a way to route Canadian tar sands to the global export market.Sure...

Not exclusively, it was also going to include US oil.

Lol. Forget the environment.. Canadian tarsands are highly corrosive sludge that sells for $30 a barrel. The Chinese owners can't make any money unless it goes to the Free Trade Zone and is sold overseas. All the US gets out of it is the environmental liability.

You're the dolt taking the less environmentally friendly side.

Where the crude ends up is entirely irrelevant to the fact that it's going to get there one way or another.

NRDC enviroloons are the second least credible bunch of crackpots, right behind you.

Fact remains that pipelines are more efficient and less environmentally risky that rail tankers.....Lest we forget all that awful CO2 that diesel-electric locomotives belch.

Of course they are more efficient, that's why oil pipelines have been used since the 1860's. Oil companies saw how much of their profit was being eaten up by transportation.

But the important Marxist industrialist Warren Buffett is highly invested in rails. The Keystone XL pipeline would be grabbing food from the mouths of his children.

Venezuela Crude is also a rather unclean version of petroleum, but it doesn't stop Sleepy Joe from going to Caracas to beg the Scumbag Maduro for it.

And being this is a matter of national security and our economy, we can only hope this decision to stop the Keystone and at the same time our economy continuing to crash can be taken to the Supreme Court. What is Biden gonna do when we run out of oil? are we supposed to attach a solar panel to all our car roofs?

Nothing has prevented the situation from going to court as it stands now, a new congressional majority will change nothing.

He also owns pipelines.

Even heavy sour crude from Venezuela is not like Canadian tarsands.. they mine it with a backhoe.

We've been importing oil from VZ for 60 years.
