and trains are falling off the tracks all over the US
And that would be a very expensive pipeline to reach all the way to that far coast.
I have doubts it would justify costs over existing rail to midwest refineries from the blue portions of the pipeline shown below.

TransCanada to face hurdles in quest for eastern pipeline

Environmental groups and native leaders may push to block the pipeline, emboldened by the work of Keystone XL opponents who’ve fought that project for more than four years. The 4,400 kilometer (2,734 mile) Energy East line would need support from provincial governments in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick.
Some of the strongest opposition will be in Quebec, said political scientist Peter Stoett. The government of Premier Pauline Marois has halted natural gas exploration by hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, while crews continue to clean up the disaster in Lac-Megantic, where a runaway train filled with crude exploded in the center of town, killing 47 people last month.
“We can expect a serious debate to emerge in Quebec over this,” said Stoett, director of the Loyola Sustainability Research Centre and professor of political science at Montreal’s Concordia University, in an e-mail. “The train tragedy might increase support for pipelines in some places, but overall my impression is that it will further deepen water-rich Quebec’s concerns about crude in general.” The province produces much of its energy through hydro-electricity.
