Which is why they don't currently treat it there.

Poor thieves go to prison too.

So go unlock the dopamine equation, stoner. Until then we will continue to  
have addictions.

To go with the raw sewage from the homeless living along it, junkie's

No, that's a complete lie. Reuters had it out by month's end.

No it isn't. It's a localized, small problem.

So then Keystone XL wouldn't be necessary to get the stuff here at all  
would it?

I mean I hate for you libs to have to look at a map and learn something  
but here goes:

http://www.transcanada.com/keystone_pipeline_map.html

The closest XL gets to Denver is Steele City, Kansas!

And with or without XL Suncor WILL be processing oil, of some type and  
 from some origin.

I mean that is their business, right?

Selling gasoline?

Yeah, so?

Has it like got cooties or something?

Let me guess, you prefer the OPEC sludge from the raghead IED lands?

Oh no, let me guess....as Denver's _only_ refinery they're buying oil  
coming from Canada?!?!?

Scandalous I say!

We should put them onto that good Venezuelan shit.

That refinery was known for problems back when Conoco owned it. It's had  
fires, explosions, etc.

I mean that's what happens when you process flammable stuff, shit happens  
now and then.

At least it didn't pollute the air and blacken the skyline like when  
Conoco owned the joint.

Well why don't you see if maybe they are going to or already have handled  
this before you go all chicken little on us, eh?

(Reuters) - Suncor Energy said on Wednesday it has contained a leak near  
its Commerce City refinery in Colorado that was running into Sand Creek by  
the South Platte River.
The Canadian energy firm said it had not yet identified the source of the  
leak, and it did not identify the substance leaking, but said it believed  
it came from their 93,000 barrel-per-day plant.
"Our team installed booms in the creek to contain the product. That was  
done yesterday," said Sneh Seetal, a Suncor spokeswoman in Calgary.
"Our focus is on cleanup at this point. We do not see more product  
leaking."

Yes, we will from time to time have refinery leaks or pipeline breaks,  
that shit does happen.

Are you moving over to horse and buggy any time soon?

Um...do you think if you stop Keystone XL that Suncor's refinery will stop  
processing oil???

Have a brain!

They get their product right now from the Rockies Express pipeline and the  
Platte route.

XL will NOT enter Colorado at all.

We await your move to horse and buggy, 20 mule teams, skateboards, and  
bicycles to deliver all goods and products to all stores.

When will you announce that to us?

Idiots, it is not just a tar sands refinery, they can crack any sort of  
crude they get in.

Commerce City, Colo.: 93,000-barrel-per-day refinery produces gasoline,  
diesel fuel and paving-grade asphalt

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commerce_City,_Colorado

Suncor Energy bought the west refinery from Conoco in 2003.[10] A project  
to upgrade this facility began in August of that year.[11]

Suncor purchased the east refinery from Valero in June 2005 with the  
eventual goal of combining the two operations.[6] As a result of a lawsuit  
by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and a number of states  
(including Colorado) alleging violations of the Clean Air Act, Valero  
agreed in June 2005 to make pollution-reducing changes to its refineries,  
including the Commerce City facility. Suncor's purchase agreement included  
an assumption of all liability from this suit.[12]

The west refinery's upgrade project, named "Project Odyssey," was extended  
to the east refinery. The west plant was shut down in February 2006 to  
complete the upgrade, while the east plant continued to refine 34,000  
barrels (5,400 m3) of oil per day. The completion of the $445 million  
project was announced in June 2006 and allows Suncor to meet the EPA's  
mandate to reduce the sulfur content of diesel fuel. It also gives the  
refinery the ability to process Suncor's Canadian sour crude oil sands.  
The combined facility is the largest refinery in the Rocky Mountain  
region.[13]

Having demonstrated your idiocy and willingness to keep us on high  
military cost middle east oil instead of product from our _friendly_  
allies to the north, that should be equally humorous to watch.

How is it reckless to have a minor spill, contain it, clean it up, refit  
the refinery to meet new clean air standards and produce product locally  
which aids in keeping gas prices lower for the Denver metro area?

Oh fer sure...

Let's all spike gas prices in the Denver area...

Put us even more under the yoke of OPEC...

And while we're at it, let's unemploy a whole bunch of refinery workers,  
oil field workers, gas station employees, etc, etc...

Then we can later resolve to cut off our Pinnochio noses to spite our  
stupid wooden faces.
