Um. Good? I think?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

First, why not just finish the Keystone XL pipeline? It is almost finished anyway. There never has been such a complete asshat as Joe Biden. Never. He had no authority to stop Keystone XL anyway. It was one of his unconstitutional "executive orders".

[BobL]

They won’t allow the serious work to start prior to Nov. 2024, then they’ll kill it.

[Spok]

Why? Does he realize it might be beneficial to the country? I can’t believe it will happen.

[Vaduz]

Bait for 2024 that action goes against all his actions.

[adorno]

Drill, baby drill... is just words...

while the president prepares the SOTU speech and soon after announces running for president again...

Meanwhile, he knows that drilling takes time to get going... and by the time the campaigns are over...

he does a Peanuts move and pulls away the football at the end of the campaigning, if he, by some miracle (aka: stealing the election again) wins a second term.

[ASOC]

All of the previous 'concerns' over birds and wildlife/caribou have PROVEN to be rubbish.

Alaska North Slope

and

Equivalent area in Russia

I have personally been to both the Komi Republic and the North Slope of Alaska. Cannot compare the two.

Images are supersized so you can see any spilled oil - or complete lack thereof....

[Round Earther]

The United States is now producing >12 million barrels per day with WTI at $76.70. The price may need to edge up a bit to get new fields in Alaska into production.

[libertylover]

Let me guess, they’ll allow drilling in locations that make no economic sense to drill.

Sounds like a weasel fart.

Smells like a weasel fart.

Yup.
Hot stank air signifying nothing .

Aka
Verbal Joe droppings.

[arizonarick]

Cost cutting...Dept of Interior. Leave it to the states.

[Allegra]

…and the move — while not final — drew immediate anger from environmentalists who saw it as a betrayal of the president’s pledges to reduce carbon emissions and promote clean energy sources.

Oooooh, anger!

Screw those brain-dead, spoiled, virtue-signaling, low IQ wankers.

(This is just 2024 election pandering, anyway.)

[rktman]

Fossil fuels for THE special folks. Common folks, not so much.

[Albion Wilde]

Wouldn’t build a nice secure pipeline from established oilfields that was already in the works; oh, no.

In desperation approves the much more difficult terrain for new wells, a much messier operation with greater risks to the environment. Because Democrats live in the moment.

It was much more important to stamp his widdle feet at Trump’s enthusiastic support of the Keystone pipeline.

Now, with failure all around him stinking on ice, he attempts a Hail Mary pass. It’s not going to work out well enough or soon enough; but failure will somehow be blamed on Trump.
