Don’t worry, this lonely stretch of track will soon see thousands of tanker cars traveling its rails. They’ll be hauling Canadian oil down to the Gulf and empty cars back up to Alberta, burning up a lot of hateful fossil fuel in the process.
Jason Kenney, the leader of the Canadian province of Alberta “noted that without the pipeline, oil must be transported to Gulf Coast refineries by truck or train, both of which are sources of much higher emissions.”
Funny isn’t it, the President of the party that claims to champion “the working man” and the environment cancelled the Keystone XL Pipeline on day one thereby screwing both, along with our ally to the North, with one stroke of his mighty pen.
“He added that Biden’s move kills thousands of union labor jobs on both sides of the U.S.-Canada border and counterintuitively makes the United States more dependent on ‘dictatorships’ for its energy needs.”
Kenney noted how Biden’s move to cancel the pipeline could force refineries in Southern U.S. states to rely on oil from the Maduro regime in Venezuela. “I don’t see how that’s in the interests of the United States,” Kenney said.
C’mon man! Learn to code
Might I suggest they first learn to read and use those skills to carefully go through the platform of the guy they send money to. Specifically look for sections titled “Green New Deal.”
They don’t call it “Liberal Logic” for naught
Unless, that is, you want to learn to code.
File the above story under “when they tell you who they are, believe them,” cross referenced with “don’t be fooled again” and “too late now buddy.”

I think it was Lenin who said that unions were the transmission belt of communism. Talk about an army of the brain dead.
A good thing the union bosses don’t tell the rank and file to sell their children into prostitution, as they would do it without a second thought.
My brain dead, widowed mother in law votes exactly how how deceased husband’s union tells her to vote
Unions are dead. Only 6% of US workers are in a union. You are fighting the last war....
Why can’t they just build an oil refinery in Canada 🇨🇦.

There is now virtually nothing that most of us do from one day to the next that doesn’t have a ‘safety first’ message about it... Every time I go into my own office, a WuFlu form has to be filled out, every office or meeting with anybody has to have a ‘contact tracing’ form filled out, no foot is set on a jobsite without safety assessment forms filled out both internally and externally with the site to ensure compliance with safety manuals (which are then constantly being revised to reflect any new risk assessment information), all ‘safety related’ equipment is tabulated and inspected regularly to see if it’s in compliance, regular ‘safety meetings’ are held with all the construction workers to make sure they are up-to-date on all safety certification documents etc etc etc.... we are dominated with safety safety safety. And don’t get me started on any requirements that have the words ‘environmental requirements’ in them....
And yet on this issue of transporting crude oil to southern refineries, not one word about the safety (or environmental) implications of hauling oil for thousands of miles across country. There were 47 innocent people killed in the dead of night killed at Lac-Mégantic and for those who don’t recall how horrific this event was, go to the above link..…. It was just a scant 7 years ago but those who don’t learn from their history are damned to repeat it.

Well, how intelligent can a Democrat be? Answer, Democrat and intelligent are oxymorons 😂....
Because refineries are expensive and they'd still need to get the product out of the region.
I think the pipeline should be built but living behind a chessie line i do like the hands on knowing how the economy is doing by how little sleep i get. Right now i’m sleeping good. So i son’t think the economy is doing good.
Illegal immigrants have damaged unions—soon they will totally destroy them.

Because you'd still have to transport the products to market. Not just fuels, but petrochemicals that make plastics, shampoo, paint, nail polish. . . . .
Not all that crude would go to the Gulf. Trains of tank cars would haul it to the East Coast refineries, (New Jersey, Baltimore, et.al.) just as they do Bakken crude today. And not so occasionally they derail and catch fire in places like West Virginia.
Burlington Northern makes millions for The Sage of Omaha doing the hauling.
And the double-whammy for Biden is that “Learning to Code” won’t help a bit. Since he has now also opened the floodgates on H1B, those coding jobs will be filled exclusively by low-caste Indian imports who have no hope of advancement. They will simply do the work for the very little pay they receive from their higher-caste bosses.
Here’s the deal: We all know that Biden is a big train guy. He made his reputation by riding the Amtrak from Delaware to D.C. and back all the time instead of flying.
He campaigned by using an Amtrak train in a “whistle stop” campaign tour of the northeast.
He wanted to arrive in D.C. on January 19th on an Amtrak train, but Secret Service nixed that and he flew in instead.
In short, Joe likes Choo Choos.
He killed the Keystone XL pipeline deal as a gift to the freight hauling railroad companies who stood to lose their previous revenue hauling Canadian oil into the U.S.
Medical Doctors are not learning from this. Soon all doctors will be foreigners on work visas. My oral surgeon/dentist is retiring and his replacement is a "Patel".
Should Canada refine its crude oil instead of, or before, exporting it?
Because of Canada's relatively small population, the high capital demands and long-term payback period for refining are problematic. Canadian refineries are smaller because of the country's smaller scale, and overall they are running below capacity. Consumption of refined products is under pressure from improving vehicle fuel efficiency. Not exactly conditions for an investment bonanza. Says the Canadian Fuels Association: "Recent studies by the Conference Board of Canada and Baker & O’Brien demonstrate that, overall, Canadian refineries are already in a tough fight to remain competitive and economically viable."

Buddy, just wait until Union Joe gets done with us. We’ll have unions out the Ying yang.
