Obama Blocks Pipeline to Get Cheap Canadian Oil

Buffett's Burlington Northern Among Pipeline Winners

Well isn't that interesting - and Buffet is based in Nebraska where the "environmental risk" is.

Damn those Republicans for making Obama reject Keystone.

The big question in my mind...which is more environmentally friendly? A pipeline, or increased rail traffic?

 

[rmsmith]

yea, a bloomberg machine at $1500 per month.

But this is the best link I could find for prices

In canada they price oil in cubic meters so its a bit complex, but you can see the heavy sulphor bitumen oil runs about 10% cheaper

k thanks.

You act like people really put that into question. It's only about the money, how much, and who's it going too.

id say pipeline since there would be no emissions.
Spills from pipeline or derailing offset each other.

Buffett and his RR get like $5-10 per barrel to ship oil from ND to LA. They load 100 tank cars at the "Bakken Oil Express Rail Hub" which opened back in November

Bakken Oil Express LLC

granted, this is only US Bakken Oil and no canadian bitumen, but the keystone pipeline would hook up to the Bakken field

George Soros getting in on the action.

If Westport reaps the predicted windfall, one of the chief beneficiaries will be George Soros, a major Obama donor and supporter. Soros’s hedge fund holds 3,160,063 company shares (as of its last SEC filing).
Soros has given $384,090 to the Democratic Party, Democratic PACs, and Democratic Candidates in the three election cycles beginning in 2008, including $4,400 to Obama himself, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. He describes himself as “an early supporter of Barack Obama, first in his Senate campaign in Illinois and later when he ran for President. Soros supported Obama in his presidential bid because he believed he could provide the transformational leadership the country needed.”

My buddy has been contracted to work on it already. Could be awkward if its vetoed again.

I was up in North Dakota a few weeks ago and they have excessively large amounts of pipe laying around just waiting for this to get approved.

This would be great news

It's most likely drill pipe. The stuff is used to make an oil well. Unless its 42 inches in diameter, that's for a pipeline
