Instead of building the Keystone XL Pipelines, why not build oil refineries in Canada?

Sounds good to me. Keystone is about Canadian oil, not American oil. Rebuilding our infrastructure is a far better way to create jobs.

Keystone’s smaller predecessor has had over a dozen leaks. Why risk the health and lives of Americans living all along its planned route when solar and ocean wave, and wind power are all clean and free? The American people will suffer the asthma, the cancer, the down-wind destruction of the ecosystem from the pipeline, but we will see no advantages. If we’re going to deal with all that, we should at least get cheap gasoline, but that isn’t the plan.

Germany was so successful in their program to give tax breaks to those who would install solar power on their homes that they discontinued the program because they had more power than their grid would hold.

Here we are in the United States with our infrastructure crumbling and decaying, and we’re having a fight about whether we’re going to transport Canadian oil to Texas refineries to ship down to South America and Europe. It’s insane. We should be working on our infrastructure and building light rail.

enable's settle for it, Harry Reid is a pawn of 0bama's, he's going to do what he's advised by using fact he does not understand from now on perfect by using fact previous Harry has lost it. Harry purely exhibits up on the Senate by using fact its habit. And as for the concern of the pipeline, Harry's been advised by using 0bama that it may income america so he has to assist 0bama destroy the prospect to permit it to income america.

There were plans for around 7 up-graders in Alberta and North Sask

Canada signed NAFTA instead

Because building oil refineries in Canada will give jobs to Canadians. If you haven't noticed, the USA has 8.3% unemployment. Not to mention all the people who have given up on looking for work. Not to mention that we need to be self-sufficient in SOMETHING. Not to mention that the 7 billion dollar pipeline would be an INVESTMENT and bring us some good in the long-run.

I'm wondering why oil companies aren't using the permits they have to drill for oil in America like they claim they want to.

Because we already have enough refineries to fulfill demand on the continent of North America. Why have pipes running water to your home when you can just have it shipped?

That is one question they cannot or will not answer. I asked that before and just got stupid rhetoric back.
