I am sorry you seem so confused so let's break this down:

quote: If you have a pipeline, u don't need to spend extra money on transportation (diesel, etc.) to transport it

Answer: we ALREADY have pipelines transporting that oil. Also, the oil is the DIRTIEST oil to use (tar sand oil) and most polluting. Further, it would not really have benefitted the USA directly as most of the refined oil would get exported.

quote: don't insult Busler for really dumb and unfounded reasons

Answer: Mr Busler continues on a regular basis to publish Republican and right wing talking points, never applies any attribution to his alleged facts, which I have frequently found to be false. If he started actually providing factual links to his propaganda, maybe we could take the discussion seriously. You will note that I did provide attribution for all of my points.

quote: Brandon screwed up the oil reserves for political gains

Answer: Who gets to define "real emergency?" GWBush released oil in 1991, Clinton in 2005, Obama in 2011. Releasing the oil is nothing new and always has political component. There are other releases for different reasons listed on the website [ https://www.energy.gov/ceser/history-spr-releases ].

Don't get your panties in a wad.

Oil, and subsequently gasoline, prices are high due to Wall St greed and speculation, not supply and demand, nor pipelines.

And the fact you have to resort to your juvenile name calling (Brandon) - (what are you? 13 and in junior high?) shows you are not thinking critically
