TransCanada’s own study finds. Awesome. Republicans still going to push this of course.

From what I gather, the pipeline just makes it easier to export gas to other countries.

Basically yep, the study basically said they'd build the pipeline to the gulf refine it, and ship it overseas. They'd then cut the current supplies running to the midwest. Essentially the US would get less oil, gas prices would go up.

Yeppers. The US has become a net exporter of gas thanks to a breakthrough in horizontal drilling technology.

It may even become self sufficient in oil production, assuming that demand in the US goes down because of higher gas prices and federal mpg mandates.

So does it increase the world supply of oil or not?

I don't care.

The price of gas is still outrageous in the extreme.

This administration is very closely allied with interests that absolutely want to drive down the number of Americans who can afford to use cars. Does the MSM hammer him on the price at the pump? No of course not. It should be a major election issue. Instead? *crickets*

I think the Chinese are offering them more money.

So that away when they sell to China, they can say we offered but your government refused.

I remember when gas was under 30 cents a gallon. I pumped a lot of gas at 31 cents a gallon. By the time I had my license it was nearly 50 cents a gallon.

$0.55/gal is the lowest gas price sign memory I have in my brain.

The US is still does not produce enough oil to meet current demand. Nstural gas != oil.

Yes, natural gas is not oil. However, horizontal drilling/fracturing has opened up tight shale oil. My company is drilling wells in shale beds for the oil and natural gas liquids they produce. Natural gas interestingly enough, is no longer a target, it's too cheap.



edit: I remember seeing gas wars and it got to 12 cents a gallon once.

Does not surprise me.

It is so expensive to make... and requires so much capital to even produce... it would require contracts that span decades with set prices and quotas. Pretty much a slap in the face to the so called "free markets"...

Only thing it would do is keep us stranded on oil... so our kids can deal with the crazies in the Middle East... instead of leaving them energy independence.

Yep we are going to build a pipeline through the Rockies to the BC coast so we can ship to China and eventually have a supertanker ripped open in the hard to navigate waters where it is going and cause an environmental disaster of epic proportions.
