“The $7 billion pipeline would transport 830,000 barrels of crude daily to the Gulf Coast, where specialized refineries process a similar product from Venezuela.”
I support the pipeline, but I have to wonder.
Maybe, just maybe, it would make more sense to build a refinery closer to the source?
Short pipeline, new refinery, for the WIN.
Gulf Coast is prone to shutdown due to severe weather, it might make sense to put a refinery or two quite a bit further inland.
NE U.S. still uses a lot of heating oil, a nearby refinery might cut transport cost.
Of course the NIMBY’s and eco-nuts have prevented any new refinery being built for decades.
Maybe the pipe line would be less offensive to them than a new refinery?
Of course we all know the real eco-nut goal is to destroy our way of life by denying us any new source of oil/energy.
I think there is at least one refinery in Kansas already gearing up to take advantage of this line.
"Maybe, just maybe, it would make more sense to build a refinery closer to the source?"D'accord.How about Turner Valley.
