It's a mystery, wrapped in an enigma.

“When the Biden Administration took office, it unleashed a dangerous “Mandate and Moratorium” strategy, a green jihad of sorts against the U.S. energy sector. The strategy was simple– create supply constraints for domestic oil and gas producers by dismantling distribution systems, tightening regulations, and suspending leases and permits, therefore impacting future drilling activity. Co-conspirators like Black Rock’s, Larry Fink, then jumped in by urging institutional divestment from the oil and gas sector and wielding a pseudo-sophisticated set of investments standards known as environment, social and governance (ESG). The strategy was topped off with the complicity of social media and tech’s intolerance for a diversity of ideas, ensuring Americans couldn’t discuss the flawed energy policy, let alone dissent from it.”

 
A former Keystone XL pipeline worker said the energy industry "tried to warn" President Biden against policies hindering U.S. oil and gas production – policies the worker said have caused the country's growing energy crisis.

"We tried to warn this administration back when they canceled the Keystone Pipeline" that it was also "canceling national security, foreign policy and energy," Neal Crabtree told Fox News. "They all kinda go hand-in-hand."
 
Well if the pipeline is the thing that will fix it all then reinstate it and ensure every last drop stays here and not one drop is shipped anywhere else. Why not just do that since the pipeline is carrying all American crude?

700K barrels a day wouldn't affect the price of oil. I know that really bugs you. I know you think that we should force all US producers to only sell oil in the US, and the govt should set the price. But fortunately, that's not how it works.

Unfortunately, on this Board you're allowed to start as many threads as you like based on your ignorance of market economics and Americans rights to own property.

No, in fact America never was energy independent.
So do you have any explanation for what happened/didn't happen?

Might it be a situation created where the fraudulent claims became impossible to sell to the people?

The oil that was to flow thru Keystone was mostly from Canada.

Funny you didn't even mention the ANWR that Biden shut down. That would have supplied us with 11 billion barrels of oil. It's not all about the Keystone XL, Biden has crippled this country's energy sector in other ways too, Ways you're not even aware of.

A pipeline transports oil that has already been produced. Reactivating wells and platforms that Biden and the Green Goons shut down will bring us back to where we were when we had a true pro-America President. You know way back in 2020.
