All right, now I’m confused (more than usual, that is). Why all the emphasis on a pipeline(s) from Cushing to Houston?? How does the oil GET TO Cushing?? I thought the big deal in not “doing” the Keystone was that it crossed “precious aquifers” which a pipeline leak might contaminate.

The Enbridge/Enterprise pipeline will follow an existing route, bypassing the Nebraska aquifer recharge area.

Existing pipelines will have to move crude from Alberta to the tie-in.

Besides Canada, Cushing is seeing significant oil increases from North Dakota and West Texas. Crude oil is shown below in green.

That is a red herring thrown out to people who won't look at a map.
