It is highly abrasive and corrosive and called “dilbit” or dilute bitumen.

So do you think the Keystone pipeline could safely transport it?

Suggest you follow the advice in my last line. More research needed. A lot depends on how well new double hulled pipelines are maintained which depends on how hard regulators are pushed to do so, or what payoffs are made to look away. The older they get, the less people will think about them and the more dangerous they will be. On the whole, I think it could be transported safely. The question is will it, especially over time.

Something else that has come to my attention. Dilbit has been define as NOT oil, therefore Canada is not required to pay into the oil safety and remediation fund that all US oil producers are required to do. Secondly, a foreign power, Canada, has been given approval to exercise eminent domain over property owned by Americans. IS THIS RIGHT?

I heard it a week ago, I hope that by now the screams of American patriots has galvanized our representatives to quickly insert corrects to that outrage in any Keystone legislation. URGE ALL TO CONTACT THEIR CONGRESSCRITTERS.
