U.S. oil bad......Foreign oil good

Regurgitate activist talking points blah blah blah.
There is already pipelines systems already spread out all over this region that are old and need of repair and can’t meet the volume. And the solution is to not put a newer system in to replace what’s worn out? Because one local tribe of a national tribe didn’t get the transmission royalties they wanted. Then used the environmentalist to shut it down for both nations. THATS LOGICAL government decision making?

As far as crude weight Venezuelan is slightly lighter than Canadian 25 - 20API. But it too is a mid to heavy weight and is a feeder stock just like Canadian crude.
It’s a tit for tat with Canadian and Venezuelan oil. They both fill the same purpose in hydrocarbons production.

We killed keystone and Canada sold to China. And stopped buying so much Venezuelan.

70% of the worlds hydrocarbons are in what are called open market, “not state owned or controlled”.
The US and Canada make up the bulk of that supply.
Oil policy is never determined by what what work or is reasonable.
It is determined by gov who view oil as a necessary cash cow for their operating expenses.
When I see a climate activist I see a activist who’s blind, or many not, to a foreign government.

Nah I’m still not buying it!

I read somewhere that there is enough oil in the tar sands vein the runs from Canada through the upper midwestern states to last a hundred years.

No we reached peak oil two decades ago and we would have ran out quite awhile ago.
Yes being sarcastic because this was reported as gospel by most of the mainstream news back then, where was the fact checking then, there was none. They were in bed with agendas and had no accountability to anyone except to those who wrote their checks.
One of four or five corporations who were anything but accountable.
