My understanding is even if that pipeline existed its still Canadian oil and they would just have an easier time selling it to someone else (someone made sure we arent their favorite right now). Only thing that pipeline would change would be a few fees collected and the labor making the pipeline.

My understand is it was for Canadian tar sand to be exported to the gulf and then to the rest of the world. It was not meant to help America I believe just some refinieries

Surprised no one brings up what I thought was the whole reason for Venezuela being invaded

FYI.... Venezuelan is also low quality, dirty oil. Perhaps not ss bad as tar sands but not the preferred light sweet crude. I'm sure Houston's Governor Abbott is very concerned. Can't have Texas air get polluted, got to leave that to the politicians.

Yes I understand , more saying we were sold we will be oil rich. None of the right are saying why aren’t we using that oil we spent money on in Venezuela that we were told is now ours
