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.”

The voters of Montana have only themselves to blame for this loyal Democrat. His party is the one that shut it down.
However, I’m sure his constituents that work for BNSF railroad are extremely happy.
Neither question matters to the people in power.
The only question that matters is “does shutting the pipeline make Gates and Buffet rich as hell, since they own a huge portion of railroads that oil will now have to be transported by?”
Sorry, I wouldn’t want that lying, ethicless POS in my party
Biden stepped in a giant turd on Day One, and I don’t think many Democrats realize it. There’s a reason no prior Presidents have signed many executive orders right off the bat.
ROTFLMAO!!!
He should Join them and then Double Down by submitting Legislation mandating that ALL Media Companies use 100% Renewable Green Energy for ALL Aspects of their business, without exception, by July 4th 2021
Now comes the move for resumption ... with kids of prominent Democrats quietly joining the board of directors..
Classic shakedown: threaten, accommodate, get payola.
False choice.
They have a third and fourth option.
3. NO oil gets moved.
4. Oil gets sold to Chyna.
China is building lots of coal power plants (100s of them!).
So we can send oil to China and they can run some extension cords so Californians can charge their Teslas.
Why the HELL they ever fell in love...is my question.
But plenty of people on both sides are politically deaf dumb and blind.
Geez, even this dumbass gets it!
It is extremely easy to ship the Alberta oil sands oil to China via the Mackenzie River for much of the year.
Global freezing.
“If you really mean it, tell Biden you’re going to switch parties.”
Yes.
Also, just do it anyhow. What’s Biden going to do?
Here in Florida the northern winds blew like a hurricane last night.
It is cold. I am cold. It’s winter.
Doesn't matter what atmospheric concentrations of CO2 do...CO2 has nothing, zero, nada to do with variations in earth temperatures.
CO2 concentrations follow temp fluctuations...do not cause them.
Conservatives need to stop acknowledging this hoax as being real.
Canaduh has been yapping for years about constructing a pipeline from the oil sands to a port on the Pacific...they just might do it if they can only get rid of girly-boy Trudeau.
Maybe you Dims should’ve paid more attention to the prosperity that you had the last few years. But noooooo. All you do is HATE. You hate good, hard-working Americans in favor of slave laborers who truly are polluting the planet. Shame on you all!
Yep, between the U of Missoula commies, and the Butte union wimps, it is amazing a Republican is ever elected in Montana.
