Biden quietly admits Keystone XL cost thousands of jobs, billions of dollars

[serendipity]

.
Finally they admit the truth, albeitly as quietly as possible.

The Biden administration published a congressionally mandated report highlighting the positive economic benefits the Keystone XL Pipeline would have had if President Biden didn’t revoke its federal permits.

The report, which the Department of Energy (DOE) completed in late December without any public announcement, says the Keystone XL project would have created up to 59,000 jobs and would have had a positive economic impact of up to $9.6 billion.

Immediately after taking office in January 2021, Biden canceled the pipeline’s permits, effectively shutting the project down.

Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) said in a statement on Thursday, “The Biden administration finally owned up to what we have known all along — killing the Keystone XL Pipeline cost good-paying jobs, hurt Montana’s economy and was the first step in the Biden administration’s war on oil and gas production in the United States. Unfortunately, the administration continues to pursue energy production anywhere but the United States.”

Daines added, “These policies may appeal to the woke left but hurt Montana’s working families. I’ll keep fighting back against Biden’s anti-energy agenda and supporting Montana energy projects and jobs.”

The keystone pipeline is nothing but a disaster. It is for the transport of Canadian oil to our refineries and does nothing for U.S. oil production. Fuck your jobs, it's going to cost 10 times more cleaning up the constant oil spills in our heartland! one of the largest environmental disasters one could possibly imagine, no wonder the fucking ignorant right wing thinks it was a good idea. I bet that farmer in Kansas was an ignorant right winger that was for it, serves the fucking dumbshit right.

Keystone pipeline raises concerns after third major spill in five years
The Keystone pipeline, which traverses 2,600 miles from western Canada through the central US, leaked an estimated 14,000 barrels of oil in Kansas. About 22 oil spills have occurred on the Keystone pipeline in the past 12 years, with two other large incidents.
“This spill in Kansas is going to take years to clean up. That topsoil that has now been destroyed on that farmer’s property is gone forever."

Not to mention we are now pumping more oil than at ANY time in this countries history and NONE of what goes through that pipeline is included or ours, it all belongs to Canada.

we are at 3.5% unemployment, the lowest in history and that's considered "fully employed". We don't need more jobs, we need more workers.

No asshole you were not right and only fucking morons would consider Canada's use of our heartland to dump oil on for basically nothing as a good idea. 22 spils so far and they will never stop. Who pays for that clean-up and how many jobs will this pipeline provide once it's finished? Fucking none but the spills will never stop. Classic fucking stupidity from the right once again.

That oil spill has already been cleaned up and the pipeline is back in service. Stop spouting bullshit if that's at all possible. Do you think sending oil by rail is a safer cleaner option, really? This accident claimed the lives of 47 people, but what does that matter to you? After all they weren't Americans!!

Seems the bet was wrong just as the argument of your thread is foolish. Maybe you and the Righties who have chimed in here think this report is shocking news but no one with any sense would. Rejection of the pipeline obviously was going to cost many jobs. Jobs were one of the strongest arguments made for it at the time. The administration concluded its benefits were outweighed by environmental considerations.

The Brit maggot doesn't have any environmental considerations He's a maggot.

Yeh bullshit, Biden concluded that cancelling XL would help him in pandering to the Regressive Left. As for environmental considerations, how the hell does sending that oil by Warren Buffett's trains make for a cleaner safer option, fool?

Biden declared war on the carbon based energy sector and it resulted in gas prices at 8 dollars a gallon in places.

Americans suffered for months with the resultant out of control inflation caused by the high price of gasoline used to drive to work and to transport goods to the American consumer.

Biden harmed hard working Americans.

Consider the bet as a form of clickbait to reel in the loonys.

Sure. The "loonys" who have left you looking the dope you are. A faulty thread argument is the only bait ever needed.

Until recently 40% of the nation's pipelines were empty due to Wall Street's refusal to fund more oil production. Biden closing down the XL project did nothing to hinder oil production. In fact:
