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

[surada]

Man you guys are dumb.

We knew the keystone XL was a boondoggle ten years ago. It's not for our benefit. It only benefits the Chinese owners of Canadian tarsands.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Nope. The only way tarsands make money is shipping that sludge to the free trade zone.

That sounds contractural. Guess what is more durable than a contract? Infrastructure or conduit controlled by a nation.

 

[DBA]

None. The free trade zone is very specific. All the refined tarsands are sold overseas.

You are simply wrong.

 

[DBA]

That sounds contractural. Guess what is more durable than a contract? Infrastructure or conduit controlled by a nation.

For some reason that is not sinking in. The skull is far too thick.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

So go after TransCanada and leave the US alone. There is no benefit to US consumers or taxpayers.

The pipeline created jobs. Union jobs, at that. That's a benefit to the country.

Which is why they hate the wall on the southern border.

Warren Buffett's propaganda really sank in, didn't?

Construction is booming. Many likely found jobs elsewhere.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

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.

The United States imports oil from the Keystone pipeline. The XL would have increased that amount. We sure could use it right about now. Dontcha think?

 

[DBA]

Exactly, they prefer virtual method only for monitoring the border because it can be disabled with the push of a button. A physical wall can't be so easily disabled.

The XL only goes to the free trade zone. None of that refined product is sold in the US. You can fix that by shutting down the free trade zone.

It's a waste of money. The way to stop illegals is to fine employers.

 

[Resnic]

And they are right.

Anyone with even a decent memory remembers 2020 when utilities were reasonable and pump prices were quite low.

Then suddenly in 2021 they started to take a upturn after Biden undid everything trump had done and it's steadily gotten more expensive since then

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Of course I believe in zombies as you rightards are proof they exist. Y'all are brain-dead cult zombies.

And when a brain-dead zombie says, "probably," everything that follows is bullshit.

Still, the Keystone XL pipeline was killed in 2020 by the courts; including Trump's Supreme Court.

Again, you're wrong and need to be corrected. Quit spreading disinfo.

Developer pulls the plug on Keystone XL oil pipeline

The developer of the Keystone XL pipeline announced Wednesday it is pulling the plug on the controversial project after the Biden administration revoked its permit in January.

www.cnn.com

On his first day in the White House, President Joe Biden revoked the permit his predecessor granted to Keystone XL, and also moved to re-enter the United States in the Paris climate agreement.

You mean during the COVID lockdown when the demand for gasoline collapsed world wide?

You have been duped by the greenies who will do anything to promote renewable energy and to punish big oil. If oil was physically flowing across the US to the tune of 830k barrels per day, it would be made available to the US if needed. It is as simple as that. Greenies don't want oil flowing, thus they are opposed. They have put their climate change agenda above practicality. Germany was doing that as well but just had an awakening. Learn from other's mistakes. Green is fine, but it must be a gradual process. I liked an analogy someone used earlier. We didn't shoot all the horses when the Model T was invented.

Moron, I never denied Biden revoked their permit. That pipeline was still shutdown in 2020 by the courts. Reading is fundamental.

 

[AntonToo]

It isn't just about the pipeline. Biden hasn't approved a single new exploration lease/permit.

That is pure bullshit.

Biden administration approved 3,557 permits for oil and gas drilling on public lands in its first year

https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2022/01/27/oil-gas-leasing-biden-climate/

Not only did Biden issue leases, but in fact in this example a judge rulled that Biden administration failed to to consider environmental effects when doing so.

A judge ruled that the Interior Department must consider the climate effects of oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico before awarding leases.

You are being stubbornly stupid. The Chinese own Canadian tarsands. You should vote to disband free trade zones. No telling how they will react.

Remodeling Maidiac. Biden approved 3550 new leases his first month in office... A thousand more than Trump approved in his first year.
