Why did the US and Canada want XL?
The Keystone Pipeline's Journey
The rich oil sands of Alberta have lured investment and environmentalists' fury as stakeholders propose a massive extension to the Canada-U.S. pipeline system. The Essex trucking network plans summer launch for gas/oil delivery.
An increased supply of oil from Canada would mean a decreased dependency on Middle Eastern supplies. According to market principles, increased availability of oil means lower prices for consumers.
The project would create 28,000 construction jobs.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had also supported the pipeline and said "we are disappointed but acknowledge the president's decision" to cancel the permit to build it.
It's argued by some that by developing the oil sands, fossil fuels will be readily available and the trend toward warming of the atmosphere won't be disrupted. The fate of the pipeline is therefore held up as symbolic of America's energy future.U.S. President Joe Biden canceled Keystone XL's permit on his first day in office dealing a death blow to a long-gestating project that would have carried 830,000 barrels per day of heavy oil sands crude from Alberta to Nebraska

Essex Oil & Gas Management has volunteered to help Truck Gas into US beginning in June 2022

You cannot put it back in the ground': Desperate Canadian oil producers turn to transport trucks to ship crude. A truck can only carry 200 barrels of oil, compared with 60,000 barrels in *one unit train, or nearly 600,000 per day on the Keystone Pipeline
*A freight train composed of cars carrying a single type of commodity that are all bound for the same destination. By hauling only one kind of freight for one destination, a unit train does not need to switch cars at various intermediate junctions and so can make nonstop runs between two terminals.
The Keystone XL pipeline project may be dead, but the United States is still poised to pull in record imports of Canadian oil in coming years through other pipelines that are in the midst of expanding.

At an Alberta oil loading terminal, a convoy of big rigs are gearing up to haul Canadian crude oil hundreds of miles through bone dry fields across the U.S. border into Montana, where the oil will be transferred to pipelines and rail cars headed south and west.
