Quote:I don't think we're talking about the same thing. I'm saying right now oil prices are low, demand is low, a pipeline that will take a while to build (I'm not sure how long) wouldn't make a difference in the global market in the next few years. However, if demand goes back up and oil prices skyrocket not having that pipeline could possibly make a difference in the future, it's at that point in the future we will be able to gauge if the pipeline is worth it or not.

I think we are talking about the same thing. I question what the actual financial impact is considering the oil is already coming through but on trains. Also it's not US oil, and will be sold to the highest bidder. How exactly does it impact the oil futures at all? I think that is majorly in question

 

As I said an argument can be made about pipelines being safer but to be frank this issue is dumb. It effects potentially nobody except for the people profiting off the oil and the 40 some permanent jobs it might create. It's insane that citizens are actually talking about a pipeline. It's been politicized to the inth degree.
