The Keystone pipeline would, if it were allowed to, carry crude from the oil sands of Alberta to Nebraska, where the pipeline would link up with the existing distribution network to send that oil on to refineries in the Gulf of Mexico. This would benefit Canadian producers and their investors, American refineries and their large, excellently paid work forces — those good, high-paying, blue-collar jobs Biden talks about — and, most important, American consumers, who would have access to yet another source of fuel at attractive prices from a nearby friendly country. This sort of thing is the point of international economic cooperation.
The notional case against Keystone is environmental in the main part, and in the lesser part an issue of Indian lands and rights. The environmental case is unsound: Canada has ratified the Paris agreement and takes environmental issues relatively seriously. Innovation and technological improvements have substantially reduced the greenhouse-gas emissions associated with Canadian tar-sands productions — by 30 percent since the 1990s, as the Canadian government calculates. Of course, it matters relatively little whether a gallon of gasoline in the tank of a Cadillac Escalade in Houston is refined from Canadian tar-sands oil or from West Texas oil — the relevant emissions come overwhelmingly from the point of combustion.

Who gives a merde what these neocon assholes think...
Boondoggle Biden loves to Boondoggle
Biden hates America and will Make America Lose Again from day one.
F#ck National Review
Good, take it down. This is going to be fun.
On that note, the Dems started to “Resist” before the election was final. Now we know the GOP is part of the uniparty, and there will be no resistance. But as an average, powerless guy, is there anything individuals can do to resist without being jailed?
Oh, so now they hate Democrats again.
F em.
After NR’S sabotage of President Trump, they own anything Sniffer does.
With Democrats in power, Political risk for investors will approach that of South American or African countries.
Do the financial markets and investors not see this???
Fixed it.
We do not need oil, we all will just drive electric cars and rechange just by plugging into the wall....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The NRA supported “Lincoln Project” just got outed for gay sexual harassment of dozens of men
Biden is just following orders from his Chinese masters.
interNational Screw Offline can KMA.
BiXiden:
Off to a rousing start as a left-wing extremist wacko, tearing the US [and Canada] apart from Day #1.
And from Obama, whose third term starts tomorrow. Of course Obama is probably following orders from Peking.
Doesn't Biden want to get rid of gasoline? So why import any oil from Canada?
At least we can laugh when the Green snobs with their electric cars are stranded by the widespread blackouts caused by unreliable windmills and solar farms.
The media have demonized the Keystone pipeline. Regardless of its merit, it now “feels bad” to morons...I mean liberals.
How is that for irony? The day before the inauguration, the extremely anti-Trump NR now comes out and effectively says “Trump’s policy was good; Biden’s bad.” Will they now publish a “We were wrong. We love you President Trump” apology?
Don’t they burn off the gas into the atmosphere anyway? Might as well make use of it even if you are a Warmer who ignores China coal.
