The Biden administration appears to be sending a mixed message regarding the shutting down of the Keystone XL Pipeline.
Gina McCarthy, national climate adviser to President Joe Biden, said Wednesday the administration was "not asking for sacrifice" with an executive order halting construction of the pipeline, per Fox News.
However, the administration's action will cost jobs. The Keystone XL website said the pipeline project would have sustained about 11,000 U.S. jobs, including 8,000 union jobs, and generated $1.6 billion in gross wages in 2021.
Biden apparently sees future jobs as remedies for the loss of work now. His goal of reaching net-zero emissions by at least 2050 highlights a $2 trillion clean energy infrastructure plan which includes the directive "that agencies should work to ensure that any jobs created with funds to address the climate crisis are good jobs with a choice to join a union," per the White House website.

It's extremely low skill, low productivity work. Nobody is going to "make" solar panels, those are made in China and Germany. The 150k workers are going to shlep solar panels and screw them into the frames. They will bend the frames and bend the tempered glass panels.
Will cost jobs?
Did cost jobs. Past tense. They already fired everyone.
Will that also mean net-zero products derived from oil? You know, useless stuff like plastic.......
Yep, they didn’t ask us before they closed the economy and killed all of those jobs and businesses either.
The very idea that we can model something as complex as climate is an error in itself.
It’s not just something we are currently incapable of, it’s something that we already know is mathematically impossible.
You rat out pople for not wearing masks, right?
Sacrifice = generosity
Depends what your definition of sacrifice is. Did she explain how CO2 holds heat from escaping to space?
Remember Biden telling coal miners they could learn to “code”not telling that more often coding work is done in India. John Kerry also saying these pipe fitters and welders can get green jobs when solar panels, batteries and many components of wind turbines are made in China. The Biden administration is clueless about blue collars jobs that keep this country running and are pandering to the leftist elites.
Guess you need to learn to read also......
It’s very odd, the the people in government who destroy other peoples lives and financial well being are never on the receiving end of their decisions. Instead, they get additional fat government raise$ and more secure gold plated benefits and retirement pensions.
Bidet has never created a job in his entire life.
They don’t have a plan. That’s a wish list. John Lennons “Imagine” is just as good for a plan....
