I checked on line to see if these numbers were off but could not debunk
the numbers about the pipeline so, I assume that the rest of the figures
are valid also. This is really alarming that nobody, anywhere, is talking
about this(not even in Fox Business News), you would think that the oil
companies would have run Election campaign adds 24/7 with these numbers in
2019... how stupid or traitorous our current leadership really is?! The
World doesn't make sense to me anymore... it is as if there is as a hidden
agenda and all the "Authorities" and the Media are in on it!

The quote below, from a "Fact Checking Site", was the best critique they
could come up with... basically, that the numbers were rounded off but
valid!

"Either build the pipeline and move 830,000 barrels of oil with the
Keystone XL pipeline -- or move those barrels with tanker trucks or trains.
The numbers of this meme seem to be rounded but fairly close to the
presented hypothetical challenge of moving 830,000 barrels of oil per
day."

A true lover of wisdom has hands too busy to hold on to anything! He
learns by doing and every pebble in the path becomes her teacher! Oink

*KEYSTONE PIPELINE VS TRAIN VS SHIPS, TO MOVE OIL*
*Someone with a smart brain spent time putting some numbers together:*

*1 Train has 100 cars, 2 engines and weighs 27,240,000 LBS. *

*1 Train carries 3,000,000 gallons of oil.*

*1 train uses 55.5 gallons of diesel per mile.*

*It takes 119,000 gallons of diesel to go 2150 miles from Hardisty, AB to
Freeport, TX.*

*Keystone pipeline was to deliver 34,860,000 gallons of oil per day.*

*It would take 12 trains and 1,428,000 gallons of diesel to deliver that
amount. PER DAY!*

*521,220,000 gallons of diesel per year.*

*The oil will still go to market with or without the pipeline. *

*By stopping the pipeline billions of gallons of diesel will be wasted &
cause needless pollution. *

*Does that make you feel good?*

*Stop the Tar Sands all together? Then we must ship the oil from the
overseas sandbox.*

*1 large oil tanker can haul 120,000,000 gallons of oil*

*1 boat takes 15 days to float across the Atlantic.*

*1 boat uses 63,000 gallons of fuel PER DAY, that is about 1 million
gallons of the most polluting type fuel in the world PER TRIP.*

*Or take 3.5 days of Keystone Pipeline to move the same amount of oil with
a fraction of the pollution.*

**In international waters ship emissions remains one of the least
regulated parts of our global transportation system. The fuel used in ships
is waste oil, basically what is left over after the crude oil refining
process. It is the same as asphalt and is so thick that when cold it can be
walked upon . It's the cheapest and most polluting fuel available and the
world's 90,000 ships chew through an astonishing 7.29 million barrels of it
each day, or more than 84% of all exported oil production from Saudi
Arabia.*

*Shipping is by far the biggest transport polluter in the world. There are
760 million cars in the world today emitting approx. 78,599 tons of Sulphur
Oxides (SOx) annually. *

*The world's 90,000 vessels burn approx. 370 million tons of fuel per year
emitting 20 million tons of Sulphur Oxides. That equates to 260 times more
Sulphur Oxides being emitted by ships than the worlds entire car fleet.*

* One large ship alone can generate approx. 5,200 tons of Sulphur oxide
pollution in a year, meaning that 15 of the largest ships now emit as much
SOx as the worlds 760 million cars.*

*Eliminate all gas consuming cars and diesel vehicles?*

*Worldwide car gas consumption is 403,583,712,000 gallons a year. That's
billions.*

*Worldwide oil consumption is 1,500,000,000,000 gallons a year. That's
trillions.*

*It takes 2.15 gallons of oil to make 1 gallon of car gas and .6 gal of
diesel.*

*So it takes 867,704,980,800 gallons of oil to run the worlds cars, most
diesel vehicles for a year and some ships.*

*That leaves 632,295,019,200 gallons of oil for other uses.*

*Passenger vehicles are only a very small percentage of the problem. If
emissions are the problem why not just capture them at the exhaust? *

*Create an industry to clean exhaust instead of crushing an entire
industry and building a complete untested, replacement industry?*

*So are we willing to dramatically increase mining to get all the minerals
necessary to make all these batteries and electric motors? *

*Mining is way worse for the environment than oil extraction. *

*Killing Keystone was the work of brainless idiots.*
