The amount of oil we export is tiny compared to what we could be exporting. It is a very small part of the oil recovery business but will become a large problem as light sweet reserves are further extracted.

Irrelevant we are still exporting when you said it is illegal to do so. You were wrong at least man up to it.

We are not selling it, we are swapping it. Read your own article.

Let me amend my statement about majority of the people. The everyday person that is not a bleeding heart Liberal, Democrat, Socialist will not vote for Hillary. I hope that enough people with common sense will see she is not the person we need as the President. I pray she gets trounced so bad that she will never again attempt to run for office.

The Keystone Pipeline already exists. What doesn’t exist fully yet is its proposed expansion, the Keystone XL Pipeline. The existing Keystone runs from oil sand fields in Alberta, Canada into the U.S., ending in Cushing, Oklahoma.

The 1,700 new miles of pipeline would offer two sections of expansion. First, a southern leg would connect Cushing, Oklahoma, where there is a current bottleneck of oil, with the Gulf Coast of Texas, where oil refineries abound. That leg went into operation in January 2014. Second, the pipeline would include a new section from Alberta to Kansas. It would pass through Bakken Shale region of eastern Montana and western North Dakota. Here, it will pass through a region where oil extraction is currently booming and take on some of this crude for transport.

The southern leg of the Keystone XL ties into the existing Keystone pipeline that already runs to Canada, bringing up to 700,000 barrels of oil a day to refineries in Texas. At peak capacity, the pipeline will deliver 830,000 barrels of oil per day. While the pipeline is initially carried U.S. light crude, it is expected to carry more heavy Canadian oil harvested from tar sands over the next year.

All the hullabaloo that is going around now is nothing more that liberals and environmentalist raising a bunch of BS. They have managed to slow down progress in some areas. However, if you look at Cushing, OK construction is underway. I am pretty sure that if the President that is elected is not a Democrat one of the first things that will happen will be the authorization of the XL Pipeline extension. It has been 7+ years of Obama BS stopping progress and killing a lot of jobs.

Did I say we were selling it? Nope I just said exporting.

Stop playing semantics. Your earlier uninformed statement implied that United States producers were selling crude overseas.
