    I'd like to see the raw, unfiltered numbers on economic impact of the permit for this being revoked.

    And again you ignore the fact that Trump has caused many more layoffs.

    When you are a known Trumper its comical for you now to take issues with a president causing layoffs.

    Yes it is whataboutism but its still a fact that Trump caused many more layoffs and yet you don't seem to have an issue.

    Why is this particular thing such an issue?

    Seems like we'll be just fine...:rolleyes:


    The Keystone XL pipeline project may be dead, but the United States is still poised to pull in record imports of Canadian oil in coming years through other pipelines that are in the midst of expanding.

    U.S. President Joe Biden canceled Keystone XL’s permit on his first day in office Wednesday, dealing a death blow to a long-gestating project that would have carried 830,000 barrels per day of heavy oil sands crude from Alberta to Nebraska.

    Environmental activists and indigenous communities hailed the move, but traders and analysts said U.S.-Canada pipelines will have more than enough capacity to handle increasing volumes of crude out of Canada, the primary foreign supplier of oil to the United States.

    You are just like all the other Trumpers scared to actually debate a point and take the easy way out.

    Typical.

    Most of the politics is on the Canadian side. Pipelines are a huge issue over there as Alberta and Saskatchewan are basically arguing with every other province for the right to add pipelines. And unfortunately for them, the other provinces have blocked pipelines going east and west which means the only viable route for pipelines is into the US. Keystone is more symbolism than anything else as existing capacity to the US is probably fine. But for Alberta and Saskatchewan it means that they have no path to increase pipeline capacity. The provinces around it and the US are all ready to block them so this feeds into the ever growing divide in Canada between the petro provinces (Alberta and Saskatchewan) and everyone else.

    US governments that were willing to allow for new pipelines were a gift to Canada because it helped diffuse the tension between the provinces over pipelines (since Alberta and Saskatchewan could historically count on building pipelines into the US). I think those days are over for a while so the inter provincial fighting over pipelines will only grow over the next few years.

    Nothing is easier than pointing fingers at a prior administration when being faced with questions regarding the current administration.

    Nothing easier than having an issue with somebody you don't like when you had no issue with that very same thing when somebody you worship does it.

    Its especially telling that you have not posted much in here.

    Is it as callous as children in cages?

    Please don't embarrass yourself by trying to compare the standard operating procedure of locking up children under Trump and the extraordinary circumstances under which a small amount of minors were temporarily separated from their parents under the Obama administration which, unlike Trump's administration, kept records, reunited children with parents and family when possible.

    I don't understand how cages being built and placed under Obama's administration leads to Trump administration believing it is a great idea to enact a zero tolerance policy and as symbol of their seriousness they placed children in those cages.

    I didnt even bring up the cages, someone else did. This thread is about the pipeline but of course, instead of focusing on this issue most of yall just shout and grabble about everything else.

    You're the one playing the shell game, we're talking about the pipeline and you bring in something totally unrelated. This is typical behavior of your type, nothing to contribute or defend on this topic so let me just bounce to something else and start arguing.

    Yes, people have. Texas is the behemoth in US wind power, and we're catching up in solar. There's going to be o/g jobs (oil is not going away anytime soon, demand is just decreasing, let me know when there's an electric tanker that can haul the electric car parts from the electric factory across the Pacific), hopefully gas (once they all agree on cutting methane emissions and not wasting product), for a long time, but people need to start transferring their skills.
