No oil rigs working in Wyoming price of oil is to low, from what I read a year ago most of the oil from the XL was going over seas.

Same here gas up 39 cents this morning after ding bat signed 6 more EO . I don't know what was in them and i'm sure he didn't either.


And yet storage capacity for crude awaiting refining is mostly filled to the brim-- remember when the price of oil went "negative" last year? The Saudis are laughing all the way to the bank thanks to Ole Joe. Maybe that was part of the deal...?

that's a lot of trains too.
So how many pumping stations are there in 2687 miles of pipeline? And how many maintainance workers are assigned to them?

Gas has gone up 45 cents/gallon since Uncle Joe took office. That equals $11/fillup for me. Two fillups/week, over $1100/year extra out of my pocket.

I heard that the Fort Peck Tribe denounced the XL pipeline because it would adversely effect the ground water on the reservation .

Also there's quite a surplus of tank cars sitting on the tracks all over central Montana just waiting for something to do .
What I'm referring to miles and miles of these cars .

As for miss placed workers pick me I was in the running for working at a pipe farm unloading or loading the pipe on trucks .
Oh well maybe next time ???

First whom of many theory are you referring to. My point was the reason doesn't justify the means. More emissions will be expelled by all the trains and trucks used to transport the oil. So shutting it down doesn't stop emissions.
Problem with people making these claims is they all live in town houses. Move round by jet or private security don't drive . MOST have never held a public job !!!!
That's why Trump was so popular. He was a millionaire but knew the ends and outs of what HIS employees faced every day.
The lifetime politicians didn't want him upsetting the life long traditions of skimming off the taxpayers .

$1100 in gas and higher taxes next year. All of us hard working Americans will be paying more out of our pockets to line whose? We all know that answer.

49er those trains are just shy of 2 miles long because of the upgrades to the siding lines;

all those rail tankers sitting on the sidings are the old issue ones that have been outlawed for use now
they did not know how explosive Balkan oil is when it is moved by rail, and the gasses cannot escape in the old tankers.

Not to mention the thousands of hours of high paying clean up work when one of those trains derails and spills its cargo or how many traffic fatalities from putting more trucks on the road needlessly .
Demacrats hate efficiency in any form . They have many sayings that explain why they hate efficiency such as " chaos equals cash " or " never waste a good crisis " the more complicated they can make something the more opportunities for corruption , kick backs , pay offs , or pork placed in the bills that are needed to fix the problems they created .

A year from now you are going to wish gas was this cheap. It's just starting. Thanks again for everyone that voted Biden.

I can tell you that we had been delivering fuel to a pump station under construction for 9 months and that it came to a halt the afternoon of Jan 20. The pump station was two weeks from being completed at a cost of $40M. The workers left 2-3 days later along with the money they pumped into our dying town. We also have a square mile pad that was completed last summer to accommodate 400 housing units which have been in storage for 7 years now. I would continue with other items but that’s all my blood pressure can handle for now.

Less demand for fuel this past year and prices were low. Demand is changing and so prices will go up. I doubt Uncle Joe has much of any effect on current fuel prices.
I believe the pipeline was to go to refineries on the coast so refined fuel could be shipped abroad. I think I read that US produces more oil than Saudi. Maybe someone can find some fact that backs that up or disproves it. I'm too lazy.
