Oil exports won’t help

Mon., May 14, 2012

I have a question. What country will be on the receiving end of the oil shipped from Canada, through the United States to refineries in Texas? China? Like our coal?

Meanwhile, even though it creates jobs here, which is a benefit, it may also create a lot more pollution in our country on its way out of our country. Is it worth it in the long run? Is it going to lower our cost of gas? I doubt it.
