No, there's a real answer, you're just too fucking lazy to read a thread.

Canada has ZERO capacity to refine it. So, it comes to the US where it can be refined. There are refineries in the Midwest that can do it and they're the closest so they get that business. The KXL was intended to move more of Canada's bituminous oil (tar sand) to refineries in Texas along with giving more capacity to move it to the Midwest. But with it not completed, rail shipment will continue as it has with the intendant higher risks of spills and environmental damage.
Doesn't matter and is totally irrelevant.
You seem to think that Tar Sands sludge could magically be transported elsewhere, but it can't.
The only place it can really go is to US PADD II.
Once it goes to PADD II, that's it; TransCanada has nothing else to do with it because by that point, it's bought by Midwest refineries at a discount because it's oversupplied there, and the refineries have the leverage.
LOL.
The Midwest refineries are the ONLY ONES who can refine it because the current pipelines only run to US PADD II.
That's why the US Midwest gets a discount.
NO NO NO NO NO.
They said themselves that the purpose is to divert the flow of the sludge to PADD III where they can sell it for a higher price.
Capacity isn't an issue and was not the reason TC gave for the pipeline.
The current pipeline going there isn't even at full capacity NOW, because Tar Sands sludge extraction has declined because it's not profitable.
The current pipeline has so much capacity that the Tar Sands sludge is "oversupplied to US PADD II".
KXL would decrease that supply, as they said themselves in their permit application.
So you have TransCanada literally telling you why they wanted KXL, and you're being willfully blind to them, and I'm not sure why.
More oil has been lost to pipeline leaks the last 5 years than to train accidents.
In fact, just two years ago, the part of KXL that is completed sprung a leak, and it lost more oil in that one leak than was lost everywhere else in the country that year, including the leaks in Alaska.
In fact, that KXL leak in 2018/19 was the largest since the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon platform.

Was it me?
not compelling.
Maybe kill yourself?
Here's TransCanada telling you in plain terms that KXL will increase the cost of energy for US consumers:
“Existing markets for Canadian heavy crude, principally PADD II [U.S. Midwest], are currently oversupplied, resulting in price discounting for Canadian heavy crude oil. Access to the USGC [U.S. Gulf Coast] via the Keystone XL Pipeline is expected to strengthen Canadian crude oil pricing in [the Midwest] by removing this oversupply. This is expected to increase the price of heavy crude to the equivalent cost of imported crude. The resultant increase in the price of heavy crude is estimated to provide an increase in annual revenue to the Canadian producing industry in 2013 of US $2 billion to US $3.9 billion.”
This has been posted no less than a dozen times on this thread, and you responded to one of those posts.
So...kill yourself.

it's not irrelevant, fucktard.
Can you read?

Yes it is...who fucking gives a shit about Canadian refineries? KXL wouldn't magically create refineries in Canada.
The reason they tried to build it is explicitly clear:
“Existing markets for Canadian heavy crude, principally PADD II [U.S. Midwest], are currently oversupplied, resulting in price discounting for Canadian heavy crude oil. Access to the USGC [U.S. Gulf Coast] via the Keystone XL Pipeline is expected to strengthen Canadian crude oil pricing in [the Midwest] by removing this oversupply.”
What about that do you not understand?
Do I need to break out crayons for you to get it?
Do I need Sesame Street characters?
Maybe have the person who cleans your shitty adult diaper read it to you.

So much bullshit spouted by the likes of LV666 and NotAllThere.
Upgrading is a process by which bitumen is transformed into light/sweet synthetic crude oil (SCO) by fractionation and chemical treatment, removing virtually all traces of sulphur and heavy metals. About one-third of Alberta's bitumen is upgraded into SCO before being sold to downstream refineries.
