The pipeline gave our country sovereignty within the global political structure. How can "someone" cancel the pipeline in their own country under the guise of climate change, while simultaneously supporting the building of a pipeline in another country? The Siberian pipeline between Russia and China. How can this not be considered treason for our supposed president to weaken our economy while simultaneously strengthening that of two "rival" countries?
I'll be completely honest, I know very little of the details of these matters, but from my perspective, this makes no sense unless the motives are political, self-serving and anti-American.
Look at Illinois. Look at Flanagan Pipeline (36") and Eastern Gulf Pipeline (30"), both of which originate in Flanagan, Illinois... and flow to the Gulf Coast refineries.
Where do THEY get the oil? From a 42" Canadian pipeline that crosses the border just North of Flanagan, Illinois.
Now look at the fact that Illinois has the highest inventory taxes in the nation for oil flowing through their state... not even close. Illinois taxes oil pipeline flow at a rate 400% higher than any other state. They are over $4.25 per barrel.
Now imagine that up to 1.2 MILLION barrels per day are flowing through Illinois through those lines. That's close to $1.8 Billion in taxes every year that Illinois collects... for basically allowing that oil to flow through their state. Now... imagine that someone finished the Keystone Pipeline... and that the flow of oil through Illinois stops. :>)
How much of this seems to be an "environmental" problem?
I don't buy the climate change excuse, but that's the explanation they're using. So looking forward to all these criminals being sidelined.
Leave it to Illinois to have the highest taxes on something. I hate this state so much, and I cannot wait to get out of here.
Not on " something ". On a lot of everything. Communist gonna commie.
