I would like to hear what drivers working in the oil fields have to say about this pipeline.
The liberals say it is of little or no benefit to us (America). Only a few hundred permanent jobs. Also they say the reason Canada doesn't run it over to the Pacific is because of environmental concerns.
The conservatives say it will create thousands of jobs and bring cheaper oil into the country.
I would like to know what people who work in the industry think. Is it worth the risk?
This tar sand oil is supposed to be corrosive and can eat through the pipes and cause spills.
One way or another we should be getting a final answer on whether it goes or not soon.

I think it's already being built. We do a lot of business with whoever is building the pipeline through East Texas. On of their rtv's a huge book of blueprints and it was for the Keystone pipeline. I know where it is located from Beaumont all the way up to Lufkin since I travel those roads all the time.

This can be a really interesting discussion. But, please keep in mind that for it to remain in this forum, it needs to be done without bickering over political ideology. Thanks.
Admin Thanks this. -

My personal feeling is that we are on the verge of having a lot of our own oil. Before, I would have supported the pipeline, but as more of our own oil becomes available I say forget it.

Personally I wouldn't care if they built it if they can maintain the thing so there are no spills. But apparently the Canadian people don't believe they can because they don't want it going across their wilderness areas.
The tar sand oil is not the same as what we have here. -
funny how you all think the keystone XL pipeline is something new...
It is the 3rd pipeline from the canada tar sands to the us... there are already 2 pipelines operating at full capacity.
And Enbridge is expanding their lines also, without all the hoopla against the Keystone XL. -
Follow the money...hardworkinman Thanks this.
