Five more oil and gas pipelines targeted by green activists

Environmental activists are targeting at least five major oil and gas pipelines after celebrating the death of Keystone XL this week.

Over the past two years, at least four multibillion-dollar pipeline projects that drew protests have been canceled or delayed, signaling to activists the effectiveness of their pressure campaign for a carbon-free future.

Sometimes, as in the case of the $8 billion Keystone XL pipeline, whose permit was yanked by President Joe Biden, political considerations force project developers to give up.

Similarly, Williams Companies last year canceled its $1 billion, 125-mile natural gas Constitution pipeline after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo used Clean Water Act power to block construction.

Cuomo used the same authority to deny a permit for the $1 billion Williams Northeast Supply Enhancement project to deliver natural gas from Pennsylvania through New Jersey to New York City. Williams Companies has not given up trying to build that pipeline but is on a delayed timeline.

Other times, legal fees drain a project's financing.

Last year, utilities Dominion Energy and Duke Energy announced they would abandon construction of the $8 billion Atlantic Coast pipeline, which would have carried natural gas 600 miles from West Virginia to East Coast markets.

Court challenges to that project led to yearslong construction delays and a more than $3 billion cost increase, according to the utilities.

Another $1 billion natural gas pipeline, PennEast, is still being fought, with a closely watched eminent domain case pending before the Supreme Court.

Here are five more targets of activists facing uncertain futures.

Dakota Access: This spring, the Biden administration declined to order the Dakota Access oil pipeline to shut down while it completes an environmental review, dealing a blow to green groups and Native American tribes that had sought to stop it from operating.

How many people will have to starve because farmers can’t plow, freeze because utilities don’t have the power to heat houses, not get products from stores because it costs to much to produce them and transport them, before these idiots wake up to reality?

They’re trying to impoverish the USA on purpose. They want us to live without heat, air conditioning, home appliances or automobiles.

How many jobs has Biden killed? How many families have the Leftist whackos destroyed? All this on some unproven preposterous theory.

Here is an example of their stupidity.

Around 1900, the weather bureau located the official thermometer for Washington DC across the river in what was then rural Virginia, near what is now Reagan Airport. Over a hundred year period that area grew and grew. And now it is no longer rural but a dense tightly packed urban heat island of traffic, high rises, subways, airplanes, and buses.

Now instead of recording a rural temperature, it is recording an urban temperature. When you compare the two readings then it appears that the temperature rose. But only in this urban heat island. Rural Virginia still records temperatures in line with what was recorded 100 years ago. No change.

It's like asking what is the temperature of your house. Move the thermometer from the parlor to the oven and you will conclude that your home is getting warmer.

These people need to be stopped. We need to use their tactics against them. Get off asses and be proactive for our beliefs. Using our minds to just fluff them off as stupid IS NOT HELPING.

I live near the Oil Pipelines Crossroads of the World here in Oklahoma. Pipelines are safe and efficient.

“... signaling to activists the effectiveness of their pressure campaign for a carbon-free future.”

Since all life is carbon based are they planning to get rid of all plants, animals and people?

I vote for these dangerous morons and their followers to off themselves asap and start contributing to a “carbon free future”.

That’s why they’re winning - they are activists, ie warriors, whereas we are couch potatoes.

We deserve to get everything they have in store for us.

Note:

Not one pipeline targeted is Russian.

Those get encouraged.

Now tell me again why Trump was accused of being elected by Putin?
