The Trans Mountain pipeline, which completed a major expansion in May, already transports 890,000 million barrels a day of Canadian crude and other fuel to the British Columbia coast for export, reducing the need for a pipeline going south into the United States, Lipow said.

In other words that oil is now going to China in all liklihood. Funny how things workout eh Brandon?

I would hope Trump just allows oil companies in the US to drill for oil. We can pump what we have and then let the oil pipeline and oil company infrustructure take care of itself.

Cutoff China from Biden’s oil.

Decades ago, when the Alaska Pipeline was shut down, people said it would never be finished.
I said that when there is an oil shortage it would be finished.
Then came the Arab Oil Embargo of the 1970s. The Alaska pipeline was finished real quick!

I also felt the same about the Keystone shutdown for political reasons.
I did notice that when Keystone was shut down by Biden that the KCS-Canadian Pacific train that runs near my house suddenly was pulling hundreds of new oil cars heading for Texas. I figure one of Biden’s KCS cronies was making a killing in hauling oil.

Democrats can claim a record amount of oil exports. Our enemies are Iran and Russia. Put their energy out of business and lower prices. US oil companies are not into producing unless the price is high.

Natural gas-cleaner and plentiful. Enviro nuts don’t believe in it because they don’t believe in any energy. I don’t think they even want the sexy stuff-solar/wind. It’s capitalism they hate.

IIRC, Canada took it off the marry-go-round in the end and closed the door forever.

They gave up. You can’t have your pipeline open and close every four years. Now it goes to there west coast and gets exported to China. Good job idiots.

I’m sure the Trump transition team has contacted the involved parties regarding a Keystone re-start. Unfortunately alternative services have popped up so the ROI may not be there ...

All the drilling and digging won’t do us a damn bit of good if we keep exporting record amounts of it...

The Russians were subsidizing some of the Keystone protests, such as the one where they littered up the area.

I don’t doubt that the Chinese were, too, either directly or through Biden and other Dems, since they want to process Canadian crude themselves.

In Trump’s first term the US became energy self-reliant. And according to reports we now produce more than ever before. Yet, I also read we buy and import oil. Someone please explain.

Yes. Elections have consequence. Biden killed it. The Canadians didn’t just sit there sucking their thumbs. They found another buyer. It will go west.
