Why hasn’t the Keystone XL pipeline been built from Canada down to the Gulf Coast US refineries? Oh, that’s right – the green gaia religionists don’t like gas – the want renewable non-CO2 unicorn farts to run your automobile. Pipelines need to be permitted – and barry’s administration and leftards hated pipelines of any sort. Thus, we get supply constraints that are based on leftards love of solar and wind. Next, all pipelines and their rate of return are regulated by the FERC. More government love for the private sector. Any place in the world that has the government green gaia religionists designing our electrical and gas supply system, you are going to get constraints. You might google the American gas crisis of the 70s which was fixed when Reagan deregulated the price of gasoline.
If you leftards were serious about CO2 emissions we would be building nukes – not tearing then down according to the GND – and fracking on US lands and exporting LNG to China and Europe. Instead the Chinese and Euros are building new heavy CO2 coal plants apace. We aren’t. -
We can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices.... dummyWestlinnDuck said:Why hasn’t the Keystone XL pipeline been built from Canada down to the Gulf Coast US refineries?

The past three NY6 Husky Bowl games have left my septic field looking like this:PurpleThrobber said:

Do you like the interstate you drive on? Do you like the clean water you drink?PurpleThrobber said:
The Throbber already has solar at the guns and religion compound and gets those credits - so go read again about power being sold onto the grid. Works great selling out into the grid - at non peak prices.2001400ex said:
That's all well and good. But if you install solar on your home, what you actually do is get credits for the electricity you provide above your current usage. So at night you pull off the grid.PurpleThrobber said:The problem with solar and wind is storage. Production is fine - but it gets sold out onto the grid during non-peak usage times - so power produced is never going to bring top dollar on the market. In the case of residences or office buildings, the power generated needs to be stored for later use at the same site.
There's some technology coming down the pike for static storage facilities where the batteries are similar to, like, server racks. For a single family home, the racks approximately 10 feet high by maybe 3 feet square. My understanding is that stores about 40 hours of typical use.
That being said, better battery technology is necessary for any of this to work.
It doesn't do jack when the power goes out - cost prohibitive to install the old technology battery backups.
The newer lithium based stuff will be helpful. Still super expensive unless the greenies want to include that in their tax credit package.
Why do you enjoy those investments made by the government. But hate government investment in technology?
I was trying to help you poors.
I'm fairly certain a good chunk of my gas tax goes to pay for that interstate system.
Next question?

There is some CRAZY ass technology out there for fracking, release the oil from the subsoil I've seen one where they inject high voltage into a gel conductor that is pumped downhole. Increases production on old dead stripper wells to as much as 10X previous bbls produced. On 'normal' new wells, the output increases somewhere between 3 to 5x.
Now, the greenies will argue that causes earthquakes - but who the fuck really cares whether North Dakota and Eastern Montana get shook. There ain't shit there.
Now, there may be some value in shaking the shit out of Long Beach oilfields and causing SoCal to fall in the ocean.
