Gas Prices & Keystone Pipeline — R-Squared Energy TV Ep. 14

In this week’s episode of R-Squared Energy TV, I answer more questions about gas prices, and discuss the Keystone XL pipeline and future development of Canada’s oil sands. Some of the topics discussed are:

  • The EROEI for producing oil sands
  • The emissions profile of shipping the oil sands to China versus refining it in the U.S.
  • Why I support the Keystone XL pipeline AND development of renewable energy
  • How I think the pipeline would impact gasoline prices
  • President Obama’s impact on oil supplies and gasoline prices
