“Keystone” costs us far more than that. The true cost is incalculable because overnight it turned the energy market over to our enemies. The cost of energy is found is everything (even inflation).
People specifically look at the “project” and projections of revenue and supply, but it was the message that was sent throughout the entire energy market of the world that will be measured in hundreds of billions (if not Trillion +) over the next 10 years alone.
This was a catastrophic mistake and it sent a message throughout the industry that other projects or new production/refining was a very risky venture so the “loss” of energy is far bigger than this single project.
Hopefully the next President (a republiCAN, not a repliCANT) will withdraw the cancellation and it can spin back up.
