Remember when pro keystone pipeline people were arguing angrily that we needed it so oil prices would drop?

And now they're arguing angrily that oil prices are too low?

Good thing we didn't build it.

Regardless of oil and gasoline prices, we need that pipeline no matter what Darth Barry has said about it. We must put people back to work, and this pipeline will offer many folks that opportunity. It will take a conservative president to bring this to fruition. We may just have to wait this out.

Well, there is that small problem of the project not being financially viable at all with today's oil prices. You should be happy that white elephant didn't get started.

Think of how much money we saved the potential investors in this boondoggle.


IMHO heavy tar sands petroleum should simply left in place until the rest of the lighter reserves are used up. In fact we should be importing cheap high quality Saudi and Iranian light crude as a hedge against future high oil prices. We could store the stuff in depleted oil fields all over the country.

What's it going to carry, air? With the world in an oil glut the tar sands oil that pipeline was going to carry has become economically unviable. Which honestly isn't a bad thing as tar sands is bascially strip mining for oil and has been an environmental disaster in Alberta. We should be saving that nasty stuff for when we have no other options.

Excellent idea to stockpile at these prices.
Imagine having the capital to launch oil storage & services ops.

Are you under the impression we haven't been building oil pipelines since Obama took office in 2009?
