Tuesday on CNN’s “Newsroom,” Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) acknowledged President Joe Biden’s decision to halt the construction of the Keystone Pipeline XL was a mistake.
Tester, a supporter of the pipeline, said he believes in climate change, but he does not think stopping the one pipeline is “going to turn our climate around.”
Host Poppy Harlow asked Tester, “Do you believe it was … a mistake for the Biden administration to cancel the Keystone XL Pipeline on day one in office given the impacts of … 11,000 American jobs? Do you think it was a mistake?”
“[L]ook, I’ve been a supporter of the Keystone Pipeline,” Tester replied. “And there’s been two caveats, and they have been basic caveats. You do it to the safest standards, and you respect private property rights. I think the Keystone Pipeline folks could have done a better job getting the Fort Peck tribe on board, and they need to continue working to do that, but in the end, I think …
it’s a good project. I believe in climate change. But I also think that this one pipeline isn’t going to turn it around, isn’t going to turn our climate around, and it’s not going to make it in markedly worse situations. But so in the end, yeah, I supported the Keystone Pipeline.”

This was Nancy’s idea , how about piling the blame on her
If you really mean it, tell Biden you’re going to switch parties.
Did The Big Guy stope the pipeline for climate
reasons or was it a sop to Warren Buffet and
his BNSF railroad?
The fact that Tester is talking about Keystone is bad news for the Democrats. He is going to have to fight for his political life. I think Montana is falling out of love with Democrats.
Biden’s decision always goes to the highest bidder it’s a party requirement.
I think even some Democrats think this was a bad idea.
The pipeline venture had provided scores of highly paid labor intensive JOBS in that part of the country.
It’s very unlikely those men will find comparable work in the same area. Lot’s of families will be upended.
This pipeline dispute is Obama talking from behind the scenes.
Occasionally a Rat,just like a stopped clock,is correct. But very,*very* seldom.
This might get him to the back of the line headed for the Gallows.
I still can’t decide who should be at the front of the line.
The only “climate change” Tester is really worried about is the political heat he is starting to feel.
“If you really mean it, tell Biden you’re going to switch parties.”
****************************************
Well, that would actually ACCOMPLISH something ... remove DemocRATS’ power in the Senate. Of course Tester would never do that he’ll only SAY he’s against something bad while actually enabling the bad things to happen.
He’ll be running for re-election in 2024 alongside President Kamalamadingdong Devi Gopalan-Harris.
Primarily the latter.
But he will still vote to keep it closed.
If I was the Supreme High Commander of the planet,
and I thought there was something that humans could do
to cause the temperature of the planet to rise a few degrees,
I would decree that they begin immediately.
When asked if I think the planet might be warming,
I always reply, “You better hope so”.
It might take 5 extra years to rise CO2 from 0.042% of the atmosphere to the dangerous and catastrophic 0.043%
Senator Tester, may I suggest that communism is bad for America.....?
Doesn’t matter if the pipeline is good for America or not. The issue doesn’t matter, because the issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution.
