Former Keystone Pipeline worker says US energy crisis is result of Biden's policies: 'We tried to warn you'

[shockedcanadian]

Killed it to appease big donors (Buffett) who stood to lose profits.

Transportation by train. Far more risky and costly, but, it appeases some donors.

You do know construction of the Keystone XL pipeline was shutdown while Trump was president, don'tcha?? Biden merely came along to ensure it wasn't restarted.

No, thats incorrect.

More than 20 Republican-led states sue Biden for canceling the Keystone XL pipeline

It’s the latest event in the more than 10-year struggle over Keystone XL’s expansion.

www.vox.com

"In a last-ditch attempt to revive the Keystone XL pipeline, 21 states led by attorneys general from Texas and Montana have sued President Joe Biden, alleging he overstepped his presidential authority in canceling the pipeline.

On the first day of Biden’s presidency, he issued an executive order canceling the Keystone XL pipeline — making good on his promise to the climate activists who helped get him elected, but inviting the lawsuit brought by 21 states on Wednesday who say they will be hurt economically by Biden’s decision.

In 2011, Congress forced then-President Barack Obama to make a decision on Keystone XL by including a provision in an unrelated tax bill that required him to decide the project’s fate within 60 days or determine it wasn’t in the national interest. After several years of turmoil, Obama finally rejected Keystone XL in 2015.

But when President Donald Trump took office, he invited parent company TC Energy to reapply for a new permit for Keystone XL. They did and were approved."

Idiot, keystone XL reduced gasoline sales in the US.

 

[Faun]

As if that matters. Trump didn't shut it down, You commies did it because you were duped by Warren Buffett et al. You're stupid.

No, tard, that's not all that matters. It was shutdown in 2020. Yet you idiotically blame Biden. Your senility is what matters.

You just made that up, didn't you?

Who killed it?

Yeah. You're a waste of oxygen.

How when and where was it stated that none of the output could ever be refined and processed or sold for consumption here in the US? It was energy infrastructure that would have been controlled and Biden and his masters killed it to appease the Environmental radicals. This was on top of ceasing or limiting drilling here in the US.

The US is dependent on fossil fuel and the Biden Administration is not helping. Begging foreign nations in volatile regions is not a viable strategy.

The whole purpose of the keystone XL is to increase profitability for the Chinese. They are giving that corrosive sludge away at 29 dollars a barrel. They don't get the tax break on profits if they don't refine that gunk at the free trade zone and sell it overseas. None of that refined oil will be sold in the US.

You just made that up, didn't you?

Nope. Keystone XL by-passes the Midwest refineries because they are only paying $29 a barrel for that sludge. The Chinese want more profit. They can't give that crap away.

Every one in the oil business has known for 10 years that keystone XL is a boondoggle. There is no benefit to US consumers or taxpayers. This only benefits TransCanada, the Chinese and Alberta at our expense.

More leftists talking points.

No, it was shutdown by biden. Apparently, you're not real bright and have comprehension issues. You're to be pitied.

They don't get the tax break on profits if they don't refine that gunk at the free trade zone and sell it overseas. None of that refined oil will be sold in the US.

Again, where does it say that it would or could never be sold in the US? You are looking past the obvious that it would have been critical energy infrastructure controlled by the US.

The courts...

April 15, 2020, the District Court held that the NWP 12 issued to TC Energy's Keystone XL oil pipeline violated the Endangered Species Act (ESA) (16 U.S.C. §§ 1531-1544) and vacated the permit pending completion of a consultation process (see Legal Update, District Court of Montana Vacates Army Corps Nationwide Permit 12 for Keystone XL Pipeline).

May 11, 2020, the District Court amended its ruling and allowed the Corps to use the NWP 12 to facilitate the environmental review and permitting of non-oil and gas pipeline projects. The Corps remained enjoined from authorizing dredge or fill activities under NWP 12 for the construction of oil and gas pipelines, including the Keystone XL pipeline and several natural gas pipeline projects (see Legal Update, District Court of Montana Amends Order Vacating the Army Corps Nationwide Permit 12 for the Keystone XL Pipeline But New Oil and Gas Pipeline Projects Still Potentially Delayed).

May 14, 2020, the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (Ninth Circuit) issued an order denying a request from the Trump Administration to stay the District Court decision (see Legal Update, Ninth Circuit Denies Stay of Ruling Vacating the Nationwide Permit 12 for the Keystone XL Pipeline Project).

May 28, 2020, the Appeals Court issued an order rejecting another request to stay the District Court decision.

July 6, 2020, Supreme Court Upholds Ruling Blocking Permit for Keystone XL but Allows Nationwide Permit 12 to be Used for Other Oil & Gas Projects

Practical Implications

The decision was welcome news to oil and gas project developers that rely on the NWP 12 permit to facilitate the environmental review of their projects. It is a blow to the Keystone XL pipeline project which needs the permit to continue building the pipeline.​

You're a dumb fuck. You only read the headline, didn't you?

The SCOTUS did not overturn the delay in issuing permits. That's it.

Waste of oxygen.
