Rural Electric Companies Hit Hard by Keystone XL Cancellation

This is a lying, bullshit thread. No dirty oil from Keystone is for the U.S. market. It’s all routed through the U.S. for Export. The U.S. does not use tar sand oil.

Why would anyone listen to you since you hate America?
Stupid ass. It was you Goddamned "Conservatives" that had an insurrection and tried to install the fat orange hog as an American dictator on 6Jan21.
 
Fuck Traitor Joe©™ (who kissed the CCP ass tonight on national TV).

Fuck Democrats.



For more than a decade, Jeff Birkeland had been waiting expectantly in the hope that the Keystone XL (KXL) pipeline would finally materialize and bring with it a much-needed boost to his rural community. His dreams were dashed overnight.
...
In March 2019, then-President Donald Trump granted TC Energy a presidential permit to construct and operate the XL pipeline. Biden revoked that permit via executive order in one of his first moves as president.
“It basically shut a lot of what we were doing down overnight,” Birkeland told The Epoch Times. “We’re out $90 million, that’s what that means to us.”
Electric co-ops are private companies that deliver electricity to their customers, also known as members. Rural electric cooperatives serve 56 percent of the nation and account for about 12 percent of total electricity sales in the United States, according to the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association.
There are multiple co-ops in the area that range in size in terms of employees and areas they cover. West Central Electric has more than 3,671 members and covers more than 7,000 square miles, and Birkeland said the cancellation of the project hits small rural communities like Murdo especially hard.
...
His company now has $14 million worth of materials sitting idly in the warehouse.
“Essentially, this tells me our rates are going up,” he said. “We’re sparsely populated and this load represented growth and opportunity for our members. That’s what’s tough—if you sit at my desk, you’re trying to figure out what’s best for your members.”
The cries of help from rural communities are starting to be heard. Fourteen Republican attorneys general are urging Biden to reconsider his decision to cancel a permit for the construction of the pipeline, to prevent severe economic harm. They are also threatening to take legal action.
...



Well yeah, cancelling the XL Keystone Pipeline is definitely going to cause problems for investors in everything associated with the pipeline. This just sucks.

It's not like they didn't see it coming either.
 
Prudent companies and public utilities should be shutting down all projects right now.

This country is no longer about growth or progress. It's about sliding into a new dark age.

There's no point in even planning or, indeed even thinking about anything hinting at progress or improvement. To do so it to keep false hope alive.

American cannot begin to recover until it hits rock bottom and poverty is universal.

Stand in the way of that happening and change will be slower in coming.

Look out for yourself and your family and screw everybody else before they screw you.

Oh, you are definitely a paid troll.

Not even a bot.

I had a friend that had a chance to visit a Republican campaign headquarters during an election. He thought it odd, the row of computers all on Wikipedia page. He couldn't see if they were editing them or not but it sure felt weird.

You've got six solid propaganda lines in a row, that's sweet. Though your third one is a little long. You might want to rephrase those. Did you make them up yourself or use like TalktoTransformer. If you work that, you can get all sorts of nice propaganda lines to troll with.

So, do you get paid or just volunteer?
