Plus, it pollutes much more getting it here overseas on tankers, and we risk oil spills in the ocean as these tankers are moving it. It's safer and much less risky from an environmental perspective to use the pipeline, it keeps energy-related jobs in North America, and it keeps fuel costs lower for everyone.

It's kind of like people who are all-in for electric cars, but both Elon Musk and Toyota have said that there is no way the electric grid could support an all-electric car fleet. That energy still has to come from somewhere:

We are not going to be oil-independent anytime soon, and from an environmental standpoint, it makes zero sense to be shipping Saudi oil halfway across the world to us. The risk to the environment, both with emissions getting it here and damage from potential spills into the sea, is much greater,.
