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

Yes, why wouldn't I realize that?

But, with tar sand oil, if it gets into water like aquifers, streams, creeks, or lakes, it drops to the bottom and sticks to the bottom, making them almost impossible to clean.
Where as crude will float and is easier to coral and clean.

I worked in IT at Central & Southwest Services and knew all the geologists and petroleum engineers and plotted there GEO maps etc. for years. I learned a lot about the pipeline and the oil industry back in those days. I also have family members working in the oil fields. I also worked for Mobil Oil in IT. So I didn't exactly fall off of a carrot truck!:laugh:

They cleaned up that oilspill in Kansas in just over 2 weeks and returned the pipeline to service. Stop bloody exaggerating, if that's at all possible!

We all have crossroads! Besides that if I had a welding rig on a truck, man I would build metal rail ranch fences or those things you drive through and under out in ever ranch in Texas and Colorado etc. What do you call those things Entry gates or whatever? Not only that but cattle guards. A man with a welder rig on a flatbed truck can make a living doing any kind of welding.

If you didn't vote for Biden, you could have made a fortune welding on Trump's wall to stem illegals from crossing our border!

Workers would benefit a lot more from high-speed rail but regulations and nimby prevent that from happening. Even light rail creates a lot of jobs. Government and Karens prevent good paying jobs.

Workers benefit from any large construction project.

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.”

Dont take this as an apology or the Revolution thinking that they have done anything wrong, they certainly do not think that they were wrong.

This is all about UTOPIA, not you.

Here is a thought, since you love walls and border security, and all that stuff!

Just think, you could have supported Nikita Khrushchev, and he would have let you help him build his Berllin Wall!

See those soldiers over on the Russian side of the wall?

If anyone on either side of the wall, tried to climb that wall, those soldiers would machine gun them down.

Is that the kind of immigration policy you want here in America? A wall and Jack booted soldiers with machine guns to shoot anyone who crosses over in either direction?

THANKS!

:facepalm: Russia wasn't stopping people from coming INTO East Germany.


We have a legal immigration policy. If you want to immigrate to the US do it the legal way.

So that is the reason so many of them were selling their rigs. :palm:

If they are welders by trade, why would they be selling their welding rigs and trucks?

Are you saying these men or women welders have no other opportunities to weld elsewhere?

Is the Keystone pipeline the only place where a welder can find work?

Sounds like they may need a new career, if that is the case! BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT IS NOT THE CASE! AND WE ALL KNOW WHY YOU WANT TO MAKE IT THE CASE!

Because you have an underlying narrative- B-B-B-B-Biden! :laugh:

Your narrative- EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD IS B-B-B-B-B-BIDEN'S FAULT!

Where is the proof of what you just said?

It will take years, many years, to clean up that disaster! The land, water, and natural habitat will never be the same ever again!

Are you really that ill informed?

Pipeline section in Kansas with oil spill is back in service

A pipeline operator has put a damaged section in Kansas back into service, a little more than three weeks after a spill dumped 14,000 barrels of crude oil into a creek

Most people work wherever they live. If there is no opportunity to work in the career you choose where you live, YOU MOVE TO WHEREVER YOU CAN WORK IN THE PROFESSION YOU CHOSE. I had many jobs where I had to travel. For many years, I spent more time at 20,000 ft up in the air, than I did with my feet on the ground! Did, I particularly like that aspect off the job? No! But I like the career I was in, and I did what I had to do to keep it.

If you don't want to move, but yet, there are no opportunities to work in your career field where you want to live - CHOOSE A NEW CAREER!

It is a big world, full of opportunities in it, and one has to do what one has to do to survive!

So you don't care if they lose their house have to take their kids out of school just so long as Biden scores political points with his far left idiots.


:facepalm:

More importantly Who is going to win the NFC East.

Russia did stop many people on the Western side who wanted to visit the East Side! The first several years the Wall was built, they denied all access to the East.
But, as I said, anyone who attempted to climb over the wall, in either direction, was immediately shot!

Some policies, more specifically, the current immigration policy becomes outdated, and needs to be re-addressed, debated in Congress, and replaced with a new policy in order to handle the Border Crisis!

I care about everything having to do with peoples abilities to have work opportunities, and to have an affordable home, and being able to support themselves and their families.

I lost my job, when I was laid off because Texas Instruments moved their IT operations from Lewisville & Dallas, Texas- to INDIA!

So I know how they feel.

I think any of the Eastern Division Teams could end up the Champion of the East, and go all the way.

Dallas has as good a shot at it as the other 3 teams!

I want to see the Cowboys win it and go to the Super Bowl!
