Oil to be extracted in our refineries from the tar, oil goes out on the word market, when finished the pipeline employs about 40 people full time, plus the refining and the pollution that goes with it. Tar sand is filthy stuff, way worse than crude. Canada gets to transport their nasty shit through our country and earns all the coin.

So, what's not to like about this deal?
I have watched something on tar sands in the past year or so and it was all about the trouble Canadians (their people) are having with it and it's destructive nature. So we get to deal with it here...I don't get it at all man. This does not sound like some great deal to me but I'm short on facts overall but just the downside of this thing is pretty tough to overcome so far.

Yeah, maintaining an 800 mile pipeline and operating the refineries to process millions of barrels annually, will only create "about 40 jobs".

:rofl:

40 jobs would triple the previous 6 years of our POS president. 40 is better than the nothing we have so far.
