Keystone was killed and the oil is still moving via rail. Not coincidentally, rail largely owned by Warren Buffet/Berkshire Hathaway, a huge Dem contributor.
However, the COST of moving by Rail is much higher.

However, the COST of moving by Rail is much higher.That is not the whole story.
The costs to build the pipeline have to be paid. Once these costs are recaptured, then moving the oil by pipeline is much lower than by rail.
I believe that Keystone costs (when it was cancelled) were over $10B. So it could have been over 10 years or more before shipping costs would go down.

Rail transport of oil is also more likely to cause an environmentally adverse event. Derailings are much more common than pipeline leaks.
