The Keystone XL pipeline got cancelled. So why doesn't each State build its own pipeline right up to their borders and just truck the oil from the end of their pipe to the beginning of the next pipe in the next state? Technically not a full pipeline...

If they just go ahead and build a pipe in their own state that just so happens to end and begin a mile from where the next state's pipeline is, how could that project possibly be stopped?

I don't see how the Federal government needs to be involved if each State makes their own individual decisions of infrastructure upgrades.
