Canadian oil is already making it's way to Cushing. It's coming by rail and enough of it is coming that Cushing doesn't know what to do with what they already have. Now, you want to ship them more? This pipeline is 100% political and 100% stupid.

If Cushing is practically overflowing with oil backed up from the North, why do we even need to build the northern section of the pipeline? Seems like shipping the oil via railroad is bringing plenty of oil into Cushing as it is.

Aviator_Rob Champion Author New York Posts:3,776 Points:410,615 Joined:Mar 2012	Message Posted: Jul 2, 2012 10:53:46 PM Ignore Aviator_Rob Report Abuse Interesting how Enbridge, the company that wants to build Keystone, said, “The Keystone XL pipeline will be the safest, most advanced pipeline ever built in North America, and no one has a stronger interest than our company and our employees in ensuring that it operates safely and reliably for decades to come,” continued Girling. “Each year we spend hundreds of millions of dollars on our North American energy infrastructure system to ensure long-term pipeline integrity and to take proactive preventive maintenance measures to keep things operating the way they are designed to.” REALLY??? You dump 100,000 barrels of crude oil into the Kalamazoo River but we're just supposed to take you at your word that everything will be fine? REALLY??? Notice how they left out any mention of cost effectiveness? This pipeline will be built on the cheap and management will keep their fingers crossed that no slip-ups happen.
