TransCanada submits pipeline application to U.S. for second time

GasBuddy Blog -- TransCanada today announced that for the second time, it has submitted a Presidential Permit application to the U.S. Department of State for the proposed Keystone XL pipeline that would carry Canadian crude oil to the Gulf region.

The multi-billion dollar Keystone XL pipeline project will reduce the United States' dependence on foreign oil and support job growth by putting thousands of Americans to work," said Russ Girling, TransCanada's president and chief executive officer, even as many media outlets and critics have called TransCanada's job numbers "a joke".

So just what is the truth here ?

Shipping Canadian crummy hydrocarbon tar, through sensitive UAS properties,

"Ban the pipeline and do not let another corrupt big business do as they please. The more I hear and see of TransCanada the more corrupt I believe they are."

And they are just going to sell the oil/refined products to Asia.

Agree with PD about the likely consequences of the pipeline, but at least this route is a bit better from the standpoint of Nebraska's objections.

Dump Obama, get pipeline, more domestic and North American oil (US Bakken formation oil and Canadian Tar Sand oil) and YES WE CAN drill our way to energy Independence. The Bakken formation, with 1.5 trillion barrels of recoverable oil AND which the pipeline will run through, will be used to move that oil to Gulf Coast refineries, lowing the price of refined petroleum products and jump starting the US economy.

As long as Ozero is still masquerading as president, forget the XL pipeline, unless he deems is politically expedient to sign off on it.

Old but if you have not read it, do so. Explains why Keystone will not help lower domestic pump prices and why it might just increase prices!

Obama and his green dreamer gang are against locking in safe secure plentiful oil for the US. He wants people broke and backed against the wall so he and the Demorats can have more "programs" that give them control.

Obama go home and do your damage there!
