we already get oil from Keystone.

The new pipeline would go to the gulf coast so it can be refined there instead of the midwest and then exported overseas instead of used here in the US.

That is the real reason why oil companies want to build the new keystone pipeline, so that they can use our refineries which can actual work with the sand oil that comes from keystone (and many refineries aren't capable of that) and then export it. Only one who benefits is the oil companies. What a shock
