After $3 Billion Spent, Keystone XL Can’t Get Oil Companies to Sign On

Keystone XL is facing a new challenge: The oil producers and refiners the pipeline was originally meant to serve aren’t interested in it anymore.

Delayed for nearly a decade by protests and regulatory roadblocks, Keystone XL got the green light from President Donald Trump in March. But the pipeline’s operator, TransCanada Corp., is struggling to line up customers to ship crude from Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast, say people familiar...

I could, but my health care is free, and being a lawyer, my pain and suffering'd probably get a round of applause rather than a sigh of sympathy from a typical jury.

Appreciate the kind wishes.

US tribunal decisions can be just as prejudicially influenced as in Canada?! Say it ain't so!

Why don't heavy oil refineries on the Gulf Coast want Canadian Blend over Orinoco Heavy from Venezuela?

The Orinoco River Basin is worth less than Canadian farm fields?

You are a lawyer? That is truly a shocker because you often lose sight of the core issue in a thread, imo ofcourse.

All that oil will be heading East and West within Canada

:lol::lol::lol:

I agree that it should.

You need to be reoriented to reality like Tecumseh is.

Begin with the harm principle.

I am.

Upon what do you base your opinion of what lawyers should do in their non-professional interactions? Do you have extensive experience with lawyers, or are you taking this from general culture? If so, I must warn you that the average TV "law" show contains a round dozen major errors per episode.
