Who are the builders of the pipelines and pipeline components?
Lots of good effort is made by US companies to find and extract oil and natural gas. Keep up the good work. But something keeps knawing at me that we’re getting ripped off. Of interest is that various reports say that the United States is exporting much of this oil. In my thinking the oil belongs to the state, of orgin, and also belongs, in part, to the United States as the country, of orgin. Why in the world are we letting this national treasure out of our country when we are suffering from $3.80+ per gallon gasoline and $4/gal LP gas? How can we get the US to stop importing oil and use what we have have?
I was at the doc's office yesterday and TIME mag also had a similar boo-hoo article on the "dangers" of shipping oil by rail. Their solution? almost always, just stop doing it, when Keystone, et al are staring them in the face. The agenda is so blatant, yet people still buy into their crap.
How many barrels per day of Williston Basin oil will Keystone XL transport? Is Keystone important for the Bakken, or will other pipelines quickly pick up the slack if it is not built?
