This oil isn't for America. If it was it would stop in the Midwest, not head to the Gulf where the ships are. This was always for export, period.Good grief. American refineries are buying the oil. Americans are invested heavily in the Canadian energy sector. Americans benefit on multiple levels.
And I have no idea where you get the bullshit that no one knows how to clean up a spill with heavy crude.
Keystone is only a delivery system. All that crude is heading your way no matter what. America needs and wants the oil.
You really don't get it do you? Pick your poison on how you want it delivered.
The poison part you got right, it is a black death and the sooner we use it all up the better.
Gulf Coast refineries are already geared up for Heavy Crude Oil which is not much different than the Bitumen. The refined product is being exported.
it is bitumen , straight from the tar pit, diluted with a shit load of chemicals so it can flow through a pipeline.
Slightly heavier than the Venezuelan heavy crude being refined in the Gulf Coast.
yeah, I'd say heavier .
