NBC’s Chief White House correspondent Peter Alexander repeated White House talking points to his Republican guest during a MSNBC interview on Thursday. Alexander denied that the Keystone XL Pipeline would’ve had any impact on the United States’ dependence on foreign oil.
Alexander was speaking with former chief of staff for former Vice President Mike Pence, Marc Short, when he started arguing with him over solutions to the U.S.' dependence on foreign energy, amid the Ukraine-Russia war. He asked Short if President Biden should put embargoes on Russian oil and gas exports, and Short said yes and blamed the Biden administration for making the U.S. more reliant on foreign energy by shutting down the Keystone Pipeline.
"Absolutely he should Peter. I think it’s an untenable position to say in essence America has doubled its importation of Russian oil. You now have $100 plus per barrel, and you have hundreds of thousands of barrels imported per day. In some cases you're actually funding the war against Ukraine. The United States should have no business importing oil from Russia. What the Biden administration should do is allow America to become energy independent like it was during the Trump/Pence administration. But instead when they canceled the Keystone Pipeline, and they stopped renewing new permits, what that does was it makes us more dependent on foreign oil," Short argued.
Alexander interrupted his guest and said the pipeline would’ve made no impact in our dependence on Russian oil.

NBC = Nothing But Crap
I think they canceled and blocked far more than that.
Peter has the economics IQ of a doorknob.
More evidence that reporters are clowns who couldn’t make it in the fast food business world. Real jugheads.
Of course he said that. Cupid Stunt!
The message sent to the oil industry by the cancellation was wrong. All industry sat up and paid attention to it. The government can stop your project anytime it wants.

Let’s Go Brandon! FJB!
Seriously,I expect nothing better from the Bidette bootlickers.
That man has the intelligence of a post hole...
Peesack said it wouldn’t be finished for 10 years and there are 600 leases that oil companies aren’t executing against.
Yeah?
So how come US daily oil production is down a massive 1 million barrels a day since Biden stole the elections and seized power?
Any body investigating how much of a kickback Biden gets from Moscow for that treasonous act? Hunter has been awful quiet lately.
a suck-up, pathetically brown-nosing comment by this NBC reporter.
Peter Alexander, YOU LIE!!
We are being chubbed
13 hours Bengazi style.
.
Maybe Peter can explain why we import petroleum with dementia joe and export petroleum with President Trump.....
Technically it is true that it wasn’t operational. But cancelling it mid construction shows oil companies that it is business suicide to invest in oil production in this country.
The reason for malfunctioning and disassociated decisions is reprobate minds of leaders.
(See Romans 1:28.) There is a solution. It is called REPENTANCE!
