Your perception Gary is that the oil coming through the pipelines is going overseas.

It never has and the current expansion of Kinder Morgan pipeline will all feed refineries in California as it always has.

China pays much less for its oil from Russian and other sources (don't forget this is low grade crude) so you seem to be suggesting that if we build more pipelines we can then have the opportunity of selling our oil cheaper to China and other foreign markets than we currently receive from the US.

Just not good economic policy or well enough researched in my opinion.
