Here is some Pipeline math I just received in an email.

The Keystone pipeline upon completion would carry more than 800,000 barrels or 33.6 million gallons of oil through the pipeline per day. With no harmful emissions.

A Barrel of Oil is 42 gallons, not to be confused with a Drum which is 55 gallons.

Because a gallon of oil weighs between 7.5 and 7.8 lbs per gallon, most trucks can’t carry but up to 130 barrels of oil at a time without violating our department of transportation laws of 80,000 lbs. on our road ways. That’s truck and cargo weight.

It would take 6,154 more trucks going just from Canada to the Gulf Coast for that same oil and that’s every Single day.

Now a rail car, holds approx. 30,000 gallons or 700 barrels.

It would take trains everyday pulling 1,143 more rail cars per day, just pulling the oil from that pipeline from Canada to the Gulf Coast.

Trains and Trucks emitting more emissions and burning more fuel that would be eliminated by the pipeline.
So when they tell you this is about the environment, it is not, that would be a lie. Just thought you should know.

Edit: I don’t take credit for this post, but I think it’s eye opening.
It takes a real dummy or a BIDEN/HARRIS to cancel such an important project for this country.

Texans..you lost your power not due to green new deal but after a 2012 similar cold snap you were told to winterize your power plants and natural gas pumps..and you never did.

Our plants and natural gas pumps are working just fine up North becuase we spent the money to winterize them.

Texas wanted cheap energy and got it by cutting every corner possible, such as reducing power reserves, not requiring cold-weather features on wind turbines and natural gas wells & pumps, etc.

Now they are shocked, SHOCKED! to discover that there ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

The tiny violins are sobbing.

Is this the same Rick Perry that was governor of Texas when T Boone Pickens made a deal and covered the state in windmills? And the one whose attorney general was Greg Abbott? That Rick Perry? Idiot
