Keystone XL pipeline would pump crude oil from Canada to refineries in Texas, US. There already are several pipelines along the route, keystone would increase capacity. Environmentalist have stopped sections to be permitted. Biden 1st executive decisions stopped construction. The pipeline is owned by Canada, constructed by the US. Canada Plan B is a Pipeline along their Southern boarder to the West Coast. Oil fill Oil Freighters and shipped to China to be refined. Canada wants their Crude Oil to be sold as refined fuels but doesn't have refineries(probably because of environmental concerns). They will not be stopped to transport the oil to a Refinery, It is one way or another.
Politics is environmentalists who protest more fossil fuel production. Will see no success with stopping the pipeline to the coast and China refineries. Canada wins, China wins and the US loses. Is this a bigger factor in Biden's stopping the Keystone XL pipeline? Chalk up a China win for Biden. US Jobs and refinery profits lost. Environmental exposure increases a million fold due to potential Ocean oil spills.
Alternative Oil Freighter destine to West Coast Refineries in the US. Meet environmental opposition due to potential oil spills.
