28. KXL will lead to higher U.S.gas prices for American consumers.

Mon Nov 17, 2014, 06:08 PM

Nov 2014

GOP Congressmen are LYING to us.

KXL will not make us more "energy independent". The oil will be sold to the country paying the highest price - the oil is not guaranteed to be sold in the U.S. for U.S. consumers. If you believe that, you are getting your info from unreliable and dishonest sources.

Job counts is also a lie and the GOP has no shame about making part-time, short-term jobs sound like permanent positions.

Another fact: Refinery production influences our price at the pump. We have all experienced higher pump priced when a refinery closes for repairs or from an accident. With oil from KXL coming to U.S. refineries that is not intended for our U.S. market, production for will be under even more demand leading to higher U.S. consumer gas prices for Americans.
