Port Arthur, Texas.
Near the mouth of the Sabine River separating Louisiana and Texas, close to Beaumont.

And I can't wait till the first turnarounds start!
Everybody will get an even better understanding of the long term capability of the new units.

Now we'll see how the Keystone pipeline BS goes!
All that is needed is the oil since everything is running!

What a view!Indeed!
I've always loved the view coming into Port Arthur by either Hwy 73 or the bridges over the Sabine River in Bridge City at night.
It looks like you're driving into a huge city when it's simply the refinery lights.

Before they wound up in a state court last year, Holland rejected TransCanadas offer of $446,864 for an easement across his farm, according to court papers.Rejecting an underground pipeline for that price!?
I don't get it. It's not like the cows are going to notice it! LOL
David Holland, whose cattle and rice farm lies next to a cluster of refineries...
I don't see what the problem is when you see all of the easements already in place.

Gas prices will not go down because the production will be sent overseas. The free market at work.

Judge to rule on pipeline land-taking September 12, 2012
In comments before the hearing, Holland said the proposed line would make a hayfield useless for the next four years. Plenty of pipelines cross his property now, he said. But the Keystone line would create what he's been told would be an invisible barrier that could not be crossed with heavy equipment used in farming, which is a restriction not imposed by other pipelines, he said.
Holland said he doesn't oppose Keystone's line, which would carry crude oil from tar sands in Canada's northwest. He does oppose TransCanada's lack of what he considers adequate environmental protection and a lowball compensation offer, which he said would put him $30,000 in the hole.
$446,864 is lowball?!

Crazy to think the Keystone is so different than all the others.

Benefits of Keystone XL Pipeline are clear By Rep. Bob Gibbs (R-Ohio)
Approximately two-thirds of the price of gasoline is determined by the global market price of crude oil, according to the Energy Information Administration. Construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline will strengthen our energy partnership internationally and allow us to have a positive impact on global energy demands. The Keystone XL Pipeline would deliver an additional 830,000 barrels of oil per day to the U.S. from Canada, our largest source of oil.
It might take time, but they'll drop. As you say...the free market at work.
Perhaps you should also consider the government's role in that problem through its regulations.
I'm more interested right now in the positive economic impact the pipeline will immediately have in this area. You know...something like jobs which in turn means money spent which in turn means more jobs which in turn...well, you get the picture.

It was a limited interest topic.
Most people can’t see the refinery from their backyard.
