Also instead of building the Keystone XL pipeline, why not build a refinery in North Dakota, plenty of oil from Canada and North Dakota and with the rail lines refined petrol could be shipped out to supply the Northern USA with plenty of oil. Why ship it ALL the way to Houston just to refine it?

Is it true they are "flairing" the Natural Gas?

If so that is a sin and a Gas to Liquid ( GTL ) plant to get it converted to a very clean diesel fuel would be a quick win / win.

Yup, and you could use that “Waste natural Gas” to basically run you refinery and to GTL as well.

A gas to liquid plant takes about 10 years to come online.

It does not happen "quick".
