Good, let them build it on their own land. Why do they want to export crude through Texas?

Looks like Canada is going to get the investment/jobs to create the pipeline instead of US workers as well as refining the crude.

Sounds like a great decision by our administration. Who needs those jobs nor economic benefit of refining crude.
They'll probably ship it to Houston to refine it there anyways.

This decision is getting better. Lets put oil on the high seas vs a pipeline.
Refined product is not leaving Houston bound for central/south America by pipeline.
Would you prefer if they had plans to build a pipeline to south america they do that vs shipping it in a ship?

By the time they are done arguing over it within Canada, we'll transition to higher fuel economy vehicles, tank oil prices, and make oil sands unprofitable.

Keystone XL pipeline - why the fuss?
I don't understand what's the big deal about the Keystone XL pipeline expansion. We already have a Keystone pipeline from the tar sands in Canada over Nebraska and that crosses over the aquifer that is being quoted as the risk.
Can someone explain to me - without invoking partisan politics - why it's ok that the Keystone pipeline exists and is operational but an expansion of it is bad? I mean if people were honestly worried about the aquifer then how/why did the original pipeline get built?
And if someone invokes job-killing-democrats or oil-funded-republicans in their answer, I'll lose all faith in P&N and I'll go post the question at Reddit.
They are shipping that oil off to Asia, mainly China.
Really? Via which canal? Panama or Suez?
The majority of refined US products are going to Central and South American countries as well as Western Europe.
You obviously don't read the gas threads in here.
But I digress and will try and splain it quick and easy for you.
The existing pipelines are peanuts compared to the monster they want to build.
The amount of oil the Oil Thugs want to export from Canada through the U.S. does not benefit the U.S. in any way.

Do you really want to risk U.S. water to give the Oil Thugs more money than they are already getting?
Oh by the way you will pay more to give China that oil through your backyard too.
Keystone Be Darned: Canada Finds a Surprise Pipeline Route Bypassing Obama
Its end point, a refinery in the blue-collar city of Saint John, New Brunswick, operated by a reclusive Canadian billionaire family, would give Canada's oil-sands crude supertanker access to the same Louisiana and Texas refineries Keystone was meant to supply.
Yep, it's their business. Too bad Americans will not be needed to build or maintain the northern Keystone XL pipeline that was proposed, they can work at McD's and WallyWorld for peanuts.
Or they can build something in America. It's not like there is nothing that needs building other than pipelines. High speed rail maybe.
