Why is Canada so patient? If the US doesn't want Canadian oil, China will gladly take it all (And pay in Yuan). A pipeline to the Canadian West Coast would work just as well for Canada. Eh??

You american make me laugh sometimes.  You are just as much Colonials as Canadians are.   You are all sons and daughters or European immigrants just like Canadians.  The only people who can truly call themselves American or Canadian are the aboirginal people of this continent that our ancestors slaughtered and then carvedd up both North and South America.

As fas as Keystone XL goes, it will get built when it serves there purpose and needs, until then it's just smoke and mirrors.  And no the Canadian Gov't dose not want wortless Yuan, it's going to collapse.

Your second paragraph is so played out. Just because humans happened to be living in the Americas when they were discovered by Europeans does not mean that those humans just grew right out of the soil in N. and S. America like dandelions. We are all spawn of the first homo sapiens who slaughtered their pre-sapien homo predecessors and proceeded to carve up the entire fucking planet. We are all colonials by your hipster logic.

You've obviously worked your way back from Canada to Europe, now work your way back from Europe through the majority of history. Your can run that logic train all the way back to the first bacterial shitstain that managed to ride through the atmosphere on an asteroid.

Well, I guarantee the Keystone Pipeline is being pushed to enrich some other oligarch other than Warren Buffett, and to bail out serious money invested in frighteningly expensive Canook tar sands oil. Why else would the MSM drape this issue in a flag and pronounce it "a job creator." The oil will be exported, not remain in North America, which right now is awash in oil.

Let's trap it up there and keep it for when we really need it, sort of a Strategic Oil Reserve II.

Zero net benefit to American citizens.

Not buying it.  Silver production has outstripped demand?  Buzz!  Maybe from an industrial perspective, but not from an investment perspective.  Dr. Copper and world wide production of base metals says that byproduct metal (silver) will be declining.  What we apparently have is a GLUT of PAPER metal.  And a columnist for Barons, they're just another shill magazine for Fraud street.

Time will tell if she or I, am right.

I am reporting what I read.  As a non-professional, I cannot be sure of anything like what Shumway writes.  She is paid, however (which of course does not at all negate what you write, LOL...).

But, I think it is imporatnt to be read all sides of the precious metals discussions.

Besides, silver is not my beat!  Colonel!  If silver is something you like a lot and know a lot about, drop me a line if interested in writing "The Case for Silver" (or similar).  gmail me at my ZH moniker.

Time will tell indeed.  But, I have a lot of confidence in gold, I wonder more about silver.

And falling.

A few years ago there was talk of a lower limit.  When the flow rate got low enough, wax started to form and seal up the pipe.  So you don't get a gradual 500K --> 0 decline.  You get 500K to some far above 0 number and then it's zero instantly.

And btw folks, within the past few years Warren and Bill Gates took a trip to the oil sands in northern canada.  Warren then bought BNSF and as I recall Gates has a big chunk of Canadian National Railroad.  

Those guys knew what was going down long before the Bakken flowed a drop.

I live in MN. I often work in ND.  I know something about this.  Roughly 25% of the capiscity of the Keystone XL pipeline was booked to take Bakken, (mostly ND), oil.  instead, this oil is being transported by train or not transported at all and bottlenecked in ND till a pipe is built. Because ND rail is clogged with oil trains, the grain trains are few and far between.  I have been told by a few grain elevator mangers that it is getting critical, that they need their trains or...or..or..who knows, but a financial hardship is guaranteed.  Let's face it, we have some of the worst people running our country and that is how we got here.  Obama and his nutty lefty supporters have to go. Thats the start of righting the economy. Keep your doctor, get rid of Obama.

The Oilybomber or shrub bush - both war criminal fascists doing the bidding of the oligarchs

But the gov funded monopolist buffet's r.r. Will by the end of the year be able to transport moore oil via rail car than the XL pipeline will be able to haul -

And notice most environmentalists only say 'stop the XL pipeline' and not as I say

Stop the Tar sands PERIOD!

Buffet has been donating to the stop the pipeline crowd who are in large part so damn stupid they still beleive the Oilybomber is a liberal or a populist instead of a fascist.

When you add in the costs of the environemntal damage either a rail car derailing into e flathead river in glacier park or a XL pipeline spilling into the Oglala aquifer the only thing that allows these projects to be profitable is
1. Not following environmental laws most normal schmucks (aka citizens) have to follow -
2. Not having proper Liability insurance amountsthat would actually cover the cost of an accident and instead are being given a free pass by the guv - which they got by bribing the politican (called lobbying)
3. Bankruptcy laws designed to protect these scumbag monopolists personal cash when the inevitable accident does occur -

Of course those lazy ass students better pay up for that 100,000 loan for a career that no longer exists and are making $10 hour part time pouring lattes

Of course, its all about the politics, but I still haven't seen clear as to what side of the issue Obama will ultimately settle. On the one side you have science, labor, big oil,  independent oil, Canada, and i the environment, on the other side you have idiotic so-called environmentalists.   I call them so-called because they're choosing the least environmentally sound path. Of course, this is the same group that first supported ethanol before they became opponents. Science isn't their forte'.  What we all should know by now is the Keystone Pipeline will spill far fewer gallons of oil for each barrel transported than will years and years worth of crude transported by rail. But because of the slower transport speeds by rail, the Canadians will likely build a pipeline to the west coast to ship more crude to China. Chinese refineries are far more dirty than American refineries meaning more pollution to the entire Earth. Yeah, it doesn't stay in China. It finds its way into the jet stream and back to the west coast.
