Do I have exact numbers? No. But that’s the easier North American hydrocarbon source to ramp up. Offshore and shale in west Texas aren’t as easy as you guys assume when you say “put your foot on the gas”

Keystone XL offered to provide up to 34k jobs, but what those were were short term contracts, as construction moved through the country. The pipeline only required 2000 active jobs, and 2 years of construction, after it would require a managment staff of 35 workers.
That's what the keystone XL would have netted us.
That's it.
We didn't get a cut of the oil that went through it, that's all private money.
It was a jobs endevor on the political front.
It also would have affected the global oil production by less than 1% iirc. Which would have had no net effect on the price of gas.

And you're right, WE wont ever nationalize the oil, but America 2 might. |
