    You're certainly not. That's what happens when you're a looney conspiracy theorist who supported sedition. You lose all credibility.

    You and every other Trump supporter is a bad faith actor until proven otherwise. Nothing you say matters.

    Dude did you just post a link from keyestones website?

    Really?

    The Fox link is just going from the same website and then there is this

    "According to the Keystone XL website, the project, initially proposed more than a decade ago, would sustain about 11,000 U.S. jobs in 2021 – including 8,000 union jobs – and generate $1.6 billion in gross wages."

    As for the 3rd link.

    "According to the Keystone XL website, the project would sustain about 11,000 jobs and generate $1.6 billion in gross wages, but it was also an environmental disaster, said critics."

    So everything you posted was based from the company website.

    LMAO.

    There is debate if its even needed

    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...th-the-keystone-xl-oil-pipeline-idUSKBN27Y2T7

    IS THIS PIPELINE STILL NECESSARY?
    This is debateable. Work to increase capacity of two other Canadian export pipelines, the government-owned Trans Mountain and Enbridge’s Line 3, is proceeding with fewer remaining hurdles than KXL. Some analysts say these projects will provide enough capacity for the foreseeable future, now that analysts and major industry groups, including OPEC, expect that global oil demand will peak sooner than was previously anticipated.

    Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has said the project is important because he is not certain that Trans Mountain will proceed.

    The more foreign oil you keep out of the system increases the value of Texas oil, supply and demand. And demand is going down. And directs more oil to Houston for refining and export. Many pipelines are already being reversed from Cushing to West Texas to Houston. There is a glut in storage there now.

    Our refiners might have wanted it, but I don't know why our producers and mid-streamer would.

    You do know how ridiculous that sounds right? Who has been in lock-step with a madman and who has a multitude of nuance?

    Let's not re-route this thread into a hate all Trumpers thread. There are plenty of threads for that, @ me all you want in those I don't care.

    This thread is about the Keystone Pipeline, and how Biden has thrown his first pick 6 by revoking the permit, costing American jobs. There's no qualifier needed to point that out.

    Your bleatings about the XL pipeline (and really every other topic) are meaningless because they come from someone who supported an insurrection against American democracy. Or did I miss the post where you denounced Trump and the other traitors? If so I apologize.

    I believe I was replying to you.

    But where is the calculation of lost XL pipeline jobs compared to the jobs created in renewable energy that would replace it. How do you value the effects on climate change converting from the XL to renewable? How will effect O&G jobs in Texas?

    The same amount of energy is still required but it will come from somewhere else, hopefully with less carbon footprint.

    Let's get busy building wind farms and solar farms in Texas, let's build transmission lines and battery farms. Let's build electric vehicles in the auto plants in Arlington and San Antonio. Let go of oil jobs as being sacred, a lot of them are dirty and dangerous.

    See the future not the past.

    Any level headed republican knows that storming the Capitol was illegal, foolish, dumb, dangerous, and immature. I never supported that. But I am not surprised you would just assume anybody that ever supported Trump would be in favor of such conduct. That kind of assumption is also foolish, dumb, dangerous and immature.

    And not every democrat is a socialist, but we haven't heard that from FOX.

    But that's how broad brushes go, you are your group.

    Let's make this simple. Do you believe that Biden legitimately won the election?

    Typical liberal shell game. You are already grouping together anybody that had doubts or questions about the election being compromised with the doofuses that stormed the capitol like a bunch of morons.

    99% of folks that question the election wanted the process to shake out and investigations to go deeper. For various reasons, that did not happen. It is what it is, but I'm going to break the law or support trespass because of it.

    So no...I have doubts about the legitimacy of this election. No, I do not condone what happened at the capitol, at all. Yes, I think revoking the pipeline permit is bad for America. Free thought is legal, and that is what I have. Morphing free thought into illegal action is where almost everyone draws the line.

    That's a lot words. Let's try again. Do you believe Biden is the legitimate President of the United States? Yes or No.

    Those are Canadian jobs that were lost.
