Keystone Pipeline Not Necessary Right Now, Says Petroleum Analyst

January 22, 2021

“The price of oil has really accelerated since early November when prices were 35 or 40 dollars per barrel, now we are sitting pretty at 53 dollars per barrel,” DeHaan said. “That sent gas prices up virtually nationwide. Average gas prices nationally are coming in at $2.41 per gallon, which is the highest level since the pandemic started.
