Keystone XL Oil Project Pledges Zero Carbon Emissions

WASHINGTON—The Keystone oil pipeline’s developer plans to announce a series of overhauls—including a pledge to use only renewable energy—in a bid to win President-elect Joe Biden’s support for the controversial project.

Aides to Mr. Biden have previously said he plans to revoke the permit, and Canada’s CBC News reported late Sunday that Mr. Biden plans to do so in one of his first actions after taking office this week.

Mr. Biden’s team declined to discuss that report, but has said his position on the pipeline hasn’t changed.

In a bid to save the project, Canada’s TC Energy Corp. is committing to spend $1.7 billion on solar, wind and battery power to operate the partially completed 2,000-mile pipeline system between Alberta, in western Canada, and Texas, company officials say. They also are pledging to hire a union workforce and eliminate all greenhouse-gas emissions from operations by 2030.

The company’s plans reflect new realities at a time when Democrats are taking commanding positions in Washington, and in an era of growing environmental and social concerns.

“In our view, this is the most sustainable and environmentally friendly pipeline project that is ever been built,” Richard Prior, president of TC Energy’s Keystone XL expansion project, said in an interview. “This is groundbreaking stuff for an energy infrastructure project of the size and scale of Keystone XL.”

A company spokesman said Keystone will announce the new measures this week.

Construction of the expansion, long delayed by legal and permitting challenges, started last year under a permit President Trump awarded to sidestep an order by a federal judge blocking construction in the U.S., pending a supplemental environmental review.

Prepare for more foreign policy issues with Canada again.

Doesn’t matter, Biden’s handlers will screw them over. Oil is evil, that is their religious mantra.

and to get to zero carbon you still produce carbon but pay bribes to be deemed that you did not produce carbon.

Folks,

Please take some time to read the above about business in Germany in the late 30’s. It is an easy read.

This is Facism to the umpth degree. Hitler would approach a thriving business. “We will let you keep your business if you build us a munitions factory.” Of course the munitions factory lived off the profits and eventually killed the original business.

We are living it.

They are wasting their time. He will cancel it because it carries crude oil from Canadian oil sands, which Dems consider “dirty”.

I thought Richard Pryor died years ago. :-P

[Captain Compassion]

Keystone is DOA.

They are wasting their time. He will cancel it because

he wants to permanently crush the middle class, once and for all...

[Pocketdoor]

Why dont they just pay off biden, then when he comes for more, just come clean and turn him in?

[TigersEye]

Zero Carbon Emissions = #FakeScience a waste of money, a hoax!

[minnesota_bound]

There are pipelines everywhere. I suspect that the democrats are being bought off (no surprise) by the arabs, mexicans anyone else that does not want the USA energy independent and of course they want a cut of the money flowing thru the pipelines.

See map at bottom. These are not all the pipelines.

Keystone is symbolic of defiance to the environmentalists who support Biden. For that reason alone, it will be cancelled.

So the oil will go to China instead and we have no control on its use. Yeah, that’ll save the world./s
Short-sighted idiots
