The Canadian oil would displace imports from Mexico, Venezuela and the Middle East, Early Christmas present.

It’s not the amount of crude oil but the refining capacity of the US. You can be drowning in oil but if you can’t refine it what good is it? We have around 150 refineries but not all are refining oil into gasoline. There are shutdowns and then changes in additives and much much more ....

Canada sent about 54,000 barrels a day to the U.S. Gulf by rail in the first half of 2014,

Back in the day, the fact that hundreds of cars could use a ferry boat to get across the Chesapeake Bay was not a reason to forget about building the bay bridge.
Of course the oil is getting here, but lets get it here safer, faster, and cheaper.

This must really upset those who are obstructing the Keystone pipeline. They must hate it that the U.S. is producing more domestically and also buying much more oil from a friendly nation like Canada. They must hate it that Canada is finding a way around the obstructionism of the Obama administration. U. S. - Canadian trade is a win-win that builds up both countries. The U.S. buying so much oil from the Saudis has been a losing situation for us - the Saudis take our money and “invest” it in the U.S. in the form of shiny new mosques and schools that teach radicalism.

And don’t refineries shut down to change over to different fuels for different seasons?

Its not the amount of crude oil but the refining capacity of the US. The US does not have a refinery shortage. We refine more product that we use. We finally have excess refining capacity. We import more crude oil than we use and export the surplus product.

Warren Buffetts Burlington Northern Santa Fe LLC is among U.S. and Canadian railroads that stand to benefit from the Obama administrations decision to reject TransCanada Corp. (TRP)s Keystone XL oil pipeline permit.
Proving once again that a campaign contribution to a Democrat is a good investment.

Summer/winter changes for vapor pressure in gasoline.
It would be hard to find a refinery that hadn’t “soured up” to run heavy crude in one fashon or another.
Heavy crude generally means more asphalt production.
To: Eric in the Ozarks
Heavy crude generally means more asphalt production. Or greater investment in capital as well as operating cost for more cracking capacity in one form or another.

Pipelines are the safest, cheapest, and most reliable of the bulk transports available for petroleum products.
The ‘controversy’ about Keystone is an artificial construct of Warren Buffets paid servants.

One nice thing about the left's fixation with stopping the Keystone Pipeline is the fact that they forget about other pipelines. For instance, the Embridge lines have been doubling capacity with local and mostly ineffective resistance.

The refined products sell for far more than the crude.
