Okay the word is out! To my American friends another lie has surfaced by your government. Now it is not an out right lie but as you will find out you be the judge. The American public was lead to believe the USA is drilling sweet light crude in North Dakota and this would be their security of future oil supplies. Well that is partially true. They are drilling sweet crude in North Dakota but it is shipped to refineries in Eastern Canada and then sold to the world market. This oil is and wont be used for the American people. The oil being used in America is oil from Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Venezula and of course subsidized oil from Canada. This oil that goes to the refineries in the south is used for the american market and is heavy crude not sweet light oil. The real danger of the foreign oil from Arab nations and Venezula is that they are not secure oil supplies. In other words with these countries do not like the american people for one and their situations in their countries are unstable. So the american government has two choices get their oil supply from these nations that are unstable or from their long time friend and neighbor Canada. The stalling of the Keystone Pipeline has hurt relations with both countries. the fact Canada is subsidizing the cost of oil to the USA and then having their government turn their back on a neighbor that is selling oil less then those nations from the mid east and Venezula is just plain stupid. While Obama has side stepped the pipeline Canada has been forced to sell a glut of that oil supply to China and now with a new agreement in place in Europe that secure supply to the USA. is now in doubt. Obama is in fact stalling for what? The oil would be processed in American refineries, transportation costs of this crude would be less and there would be less pollution because it is no longer being shipped by large oil tankers across a fragile ocean. If people who are trying to save the environment they would realize having large tankers crossing oceans and the gulf are not environmental safe. The Fraser Institute released a study that states the new age oil pipelines of today are the safest means to transport oil. Eight now without the pipeline oil is now shipped by train this puts more pollutants in the air as now shipping by rail has gone up 60 per cent. As witnessed a 6 months ago a crash of such a train leveled a town in Quebec causing many deaths. So the question is why in the world would Obama not pass this now?
