The tear down is starting on day one! – Biden plans on removing permits for Keystone XL – “The Obama administration in 2015 denied a cross-border permit for the pipeline, however, saying the oil it would deliver would exacerbate climate change.”
All media reports are saying that Biden will cancel the permits – and said he would work with TC Energy (And the Alberta Government which took over $1billion stake in the company) – Which means – he will probably use tax payer money to buy them off and pay for their losses.
The reality! – If Keystone is built – the result is a boom for Midwest refineries, a boom for Gulf Coast exporting, and increases Canadian dependency on the US Oil industry. (Competitive Advantage from a business point of view) The argument? – Keystone will pollute (A pipeline?) Keystone will inhibit wildlife (wildlife finds ways to survive – Humans are not as resilient) Keystone will increase US dependence on foreign Oil (I’d rather that be Canada – than OPEC!)
Speaking of OPEC – (Algeria, Angola, Congo, Ecuador, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, IR Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Venezuela.)Every one of these countries will continue to punch holes and move oil – without much care for the Environment! – At least Canada and Keystone want to protect the environment.
Look at those countries above – which one is a “friendly” to the United States? (And I’m talking Democratic Leadership in the US – after all – What did Hilary Clinton as Secretary of State do to improve relationships with these countries?) Before destroying US infrastructure – help stop other countries from destroying the world through inconsiderate pollution practices – and do this without “Paying” them to do it! There are economic ways – just like Biden plans on canceling Keystone Permits – there are ways to stop other countries.
Keystone is not the problem!
