When will Kenney turn off the oil flow?

Silly question, Im sure has been answered before. Why don’t we build another refinery? Seems to be money in oil so it just makes business sense to add to the processing if the others can’t keep up. Fuel is at an all time high so even if it brings the price down I’m sure there’s still money to be made.
also build it on the Alberta boarder where pipeline needs no approval and sell your finished product from there. With out a pipeline the further down the line the more it cost to truck. Vancouver is at the end of the line so charge accordingly.

We (AB) already have four which produce more gasoline than we could ever use and export the rest west.

Google where BC gets is gasoline from, and check out how it gets there.

That's how uninformed the lower mainlanders are.

It is my understanding that another ongoing debate, the electric car, is one of the reasons why there are no more refineries on the drawing table. When you factor in the huge costs combined with long time frame to build a refinery (time frame includes enviromental studies which we all know can be never ending) the ability to recoup the investment is very much in question. If it takes 10 years to get a new refinery off the ground, where will the evolution of electric or other forms of fuel powered vehicles be at?

Electric car has nothing to do with it. Oversupply and no pipe are the reasons.

Slightly off topic but yet gasoline prices go up in Alberta whenever there are refinery shutdowns for maintenance or storms on the US Gulf Coast even though we in Alberta don't get a drop of gasoline from them. Pretty sweet deal for the Alberta gasoline refinery business if you ask me.

So assuming this is right, then why is the cost of fuel so high in Alberta? From a business standpoint any time you have a stockpile and can out produce the need prices go downhill, so I’m just asking.

Sounds like retiredpop has the same train of thought.

The smart move isn't to shutoff the pipeline, that will give the leaf lickers exactly what they want. What we want to do is limit the number of railcars full of gasoline and diesel headed from the Edmonton Refineries to the Lower Mainland.
