On his very first day in office Biden killed the TC Energy Keystone pipeline project as reported upon by the Wall Street Journal thereby demonstrating his and the Democratic Party’s colossal incompetence and ignorance of energy and climate realities at home and abroad.
His idiotic decision to revoke the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline was noted by the WSJ article as being “a slap at Canada” demonstrating that under his administration “investors that play by U.S. rules” will be subject to arbitrary political whims that represent nothing but Democrats pushing climate alarmism hype in the name of “fighting climate change” with these schemes always being irrelevant to the continuing global CO2 emissions upward climb driven exclusively by the world’s developing nations led by China and India.
As addressed in the Wall Street Journal article the Keystone pipeline project would have provided for moving up to 830,000 barrels of crude oil per day from Alberta oil sands to U.S. refineries on the Gulf Coast. This long environmentally reviewed project has no material impact on greenhouse gas emissions since this crude will still be extracted in any event whether for U.S. benefit or benefit to other global purchasers that are adversarial to U.S. energy interests.
Shipping this crude using rail or tanker would increase CO2 transportation emissions by between 28% to 42% and with higher leak likelihood. Killing Keystone will strand billions of dollars in Canadian investment alienating a key ally and kill thousands of U.S. jobs including 10,000 American union construction jobs, steel pipe made in the U.S., a 10 million Green Job Training Fund, $500 million for indigenous suppliers and jobs and 100% renewable power to operate the pipeline.

Worth reading the whole article...
This BP data clearly establishes that the world’s developing nations led by China and India are responsible for and dominate global CO2 emissions with 65% of total global CO2 emissions contributed solely by these nations. This unequivocally clear outcome is concealed by Biden and the Democratic Party.
Most significantly the BP energy and emissions data shows that for more than a decade the U.S. has been leading the world in reducing CO2 emissions more than any other nation with reductions of over 15% since its peak emissions year of 2007 amounting to about 1 billion metric tons of CO2 decreases per year with further reductions yet to come if increased use of natural gas is allowed to continue.
Why won’t Joe release his full medical records?
SpaceX Starship is suddenly having to cancel test flights a lot due to ‘FAA denying permits’. I wouldn’t be the slightest bit surprised if this hellhole admin is screwing around with the program.
The reason the WH’s energy “strategy” seems to be gobbledygook is because the whole “climate crisis” is made up gobbledygook. If it was science, then the results would be replicatable by all scientists, not just those with huge government grants. It’s similar to garbage in, garbage out.
Tell me something Joseph the Usurper is competent at (and I mean for the good of the nation).
Then there’s the stories on African and Asian plastic pollution.

Biden will commit more errors than a drunk shipping clerk!
Biden’s energy & climate incompetence on full display.
Biden’s incompetence on full display and has been for 47 years.
Nothing worse then a stupid person believing they are intelligent or at least smart.
But his subservience and allegiance to the Greenies and the Reds (CCP)is on full display along with his economic stupidity and hatred of the people of America.
BeijingBiden killed XL because he got loads of $$ support from people who ship oil by train, at 3X cost of XL.
What can you expect from QuidProJoe?
That it adversely impacts CO2 emissions is irrelevent as there is no science about carbon causing warming since it is all explained by Malinkovich cycles.
It is a money-skimming scam.
It’s not slo jo....he doesn’t know what day or month it is....the slojo and ho monarchy is run by a committee of liberal USA hating lefftists....

He’ll make it up in volume, there’s plenty more bone-headed Biden BS-ery to come...
The point is the check cleared from Warren Buffett who owns the train carrying the oil and the trucking companies.
It has zero to do about safety or global warming. Just money and power.
