The Biden Administration and All Things Politics

Keystone XL would carry crude derived from Alberta's oil sands. The deposits are not in underground reservoirs like conventional petroleum. Instead, they're a tarry fossil fuel called bitumen that's mixed in with clay, sand, rock and together, can be hard as a hockey puck. To access the bitumen, Alberta's boreal forests are cut away in enormous strip mines. Canadians, including Indigenous peoples, have benefited economically from the oil sands mining. But they also grapple with the destruction of Alberta's forests and health effects that some researchers say could be linked to the strip mining.

The decision to do that or not do that is up to the Canadians. They made the decision to go forward. Our decision was only on if we should allow that oil to flow into our network. Biden decided he didn’t want that oil in our network and that decision, as intended, is being reflected in our inventory levels.

I have no doubt about there being granola-types who opposed Keystone XL. The country has always had weird cults who believe crazy things. Some wear Nikes while waiting for the comet. Some drink Kool-Aid. Some refuse to have babies in the name of saving the planet, and some want to reduce the amount of oil entering our system. The American voters have had enough of putting in power those who do the bidding of the lunatic fringe, and thankfully they appear set to vote them out.

5% of that number would be 895,000 barrels per day, but our idle capacity is only 154,800, and tar sands oil is resource-intensive. Who's refining that surplus?

It would have been the refineries who invested the money into increasing capacity to handle the Keystone XL oil, but the investments to increase capacity never happened because there was no Keystone XL oil to refine. Reducing all of this was their stated goal, and they accomplished it. Only now they have belatedly realized maybe damaging the economy wasn't such a good goal to accomplish.

lol at thinking that people who care about the air they breathe, water they drink and soil they grow food in are a cult.

I walk outside in winter in utah and cant breathe very well and can see the thickness of the polluted air. Its really quite easy to notice the pollution. Not to mention the very real and very very bad oil spills that have taken place all over.

I would say that those who dont see pollution as a problem are the ones exhibiting more cult like behavior.

lol at thinking if the Keystone XL pipeline had been built then there would be no air, water, or food. At least with the cult who wore the Nikes waiting for the comet, there actually was a comet.

Meaningless blather. Keystone oil was never intended for US refining, so US plants would not have been planning for it's capacity.

Another record for the trumpster. Most rallies, most golf played, most tweets, most impeachments, most insurrections, most cable news tv watching, most press conferences and now most indictments. Most wives, most lies, most critical books written about him, most pardons of his friends for crimes committed. I feel like I could go on all day.

Well you know what they say, if you're not first you're last.
 
Lol at someone thinking that caring about air, water, and soil quality equates to thinking that air, water, and soil wouldn't exist at all with more oil production and more pipelines. You would have to be extremely stupid to think that.
 
There was a segment on “Face the Nation” aired on CBS this morning with a Democrat parent, an Independent parent, and a Republican parent. Host Margaret Brennan asked the diverse trio how they felt about a handful of issues and it was striking how much they all agreed.

All three had concerns over the state of the economy the democrat majority run house, democrat majority run senate, and democrat president had created. All three were concerned over the rise in crime after democrats broadly championed “defund the police”. Perhaps the most interesting was that all three felt school administrators like The Thriller were cancer in the public school system. All thought wokeness was ruining schools. All wanted more parental control.
