President Donald Trump - J.D. Vance Administration

I think he asked when it has been shut down, which was quoted from your post.

I never said anything about drilling being shut down, I was referring to the keystone pipeline.

Keystone had nothing to do with domestic production, processed oil from keystone was destined for export. Keystone had no negative effect on American gas prices.

Off-base again. Keystone XL heavy oil would have displaced the same product imported mainly from Venezuela. Here are facts to help you.

The export statement was probably crafted at a Sierra Club meeting a decade ago that he swallowed hook, line, and sinker.

That’s a long winded way to say “It hasn’t”

Crude Production, and Crude Refining, are two different things.

No effect on the price of a global commodity? Tell us more.

Nope not a failure but not what he said he could do. And said he would do before his Inauguration.

But tRump will do no more than cut aid to Ukraine. As for a peaceful end what is you definition of peaceful?

Different subject. The majority of our refineries are designed to refine heavy sour crude, for the most part WTI is a light sweet crude so most of our refineries cannot refine it. They need to be retooled so that they can refine WTI and that would be a years long billions of dollar project not even counting the permitting. Heck it would probably take 2-3 years and millions just to get the permitting approved before actual work would start. So why would the refining companies make that investment when 4 years from now they could be Keystoned by the next administration?

Seeing as converting those refineries would benefit the US greatly by being able to process our own oil..would you be opposed to tax breaks for conversions??? Also if the EPA regulations are removed would that possibly encourage conversions as well or isn't strictly the unknown of changing parties in power?

I generally oppose “tax breaks” targeting specific actions. They would be able to capitalize the retooling costs like any other business.

They EPA absolutely should be gutted and the regulations eased to make refining easier in the states but thats not the only issue. It’s the NIMBY crowd and special interest groups that can hold such projects up for years in court, that needs to be streamlined.

EPA clean air act standards for new or reopened refineries are INSANE. Trump will have to get the EPA under control for that to happen

that is a good answer.

I wonder if the Chevron decision will basically discard all these EPA regulations. What about things like gas mileage standards..not sure if they are legally codified.

You'd think it would but the bureaucracy will fight tooth and nail to prevent it and it will probably take years going through the courts.

They are desperate. Just like trotting out the "Musk is giving secrets to Putin" crapola. I hope they keep it up for 4 years.

The Keystone XL Pipeline was designed to transport the heavy crude from Canada to our Gulf Coast refineries ... but alas we need clean energy.

Trump announced he's going to reopen the XL pipeline.
