35-50 jobs.....Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Let's cut thru all the bullshit and get real.
Will refined products from Keystone XL be exported?
It should be noted that Keystone XL transports crude oil, not refined products.
TransCanada is an energy infrastructure company. We build energy infrastructure like pipelines, natural gas-fired power plants and wind farms.
We don’t actually extract or own a single molecule of oil or natural gas that we transport.
We are contracted to build the infrastructure to safely deliver those molecules to their destination.
We don’t own the oil we transport, much like a moving company doesn’t own your bed during a move.
Myths Facts Keystone XL Pipeline
This pipeline would be used to transport oil to the Gulf, loaded on Tankers, then sold on the worldwide oil market to the highest bidder. There are ZERO guarantees that any of this oil stays in America.
What are you going to do? This crude is going to the Gulf refineries no matter what. We are your number one supplier.
Rail or truck or pipeline. Pick your poison. Block the pipeline? Okey dokey what next?
Block all rail transport from Canada to the US? Or block all tankers from Canada to the US?
Because it might not all stay in the US?
You need the crude.
Or are you going to legislate that your very own US companies who have purchased the crude not be able to sell it anywhere but in America?
That would be very Venezuelan of you.
We already know they're not gonna sell it here; that's what she just said.
Strange post, TD.
Who cares if they sell it here. The pipeline itself would provide jobs NOW and it would be REFINED here.
Do you dumbfucks think that they are going to ship unrefined oi down to the Gulf Coast and then what ship it to China to be refined? Yeah , that would be MUCH more cost efficient than simply having the refineries that the pipeline itself goes to refine it.
Jesus
In Oklahoma alone union welders made $134,000 working on just one portion of the pipeline.
Construction jobs are temporary. Just by their nature but they pay big money for both skilled and unskilled labor. Your State department forecast over 40,000 jobs during the construction of the pipeline.
Think of it this way Plas. It takes 100000s of men and women to build highways, schools, bridges and there are zilch permanent jobs after those projects are completed.
So does a project like a highway not get built because there are jack shit jobs after the construction?

I don't think so.
