DonLever Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Biden 'to cancel Keystone pipeline on first day' (msn.com) US President-elect Joe Biden is to cancel the controversial Keystone XL Pipeline on his first day in office, North American media report. What is Biden planning to do? A briefing note seen by Canadian and US media says Mr Biden will sign an executive order revoking the permit for Keystone XL on Inauguration Day - 20 January. He will also return the US to the Paris climate agreement - a global pact on cutting carbon emissions - reversing another decision by Mr Trump, who took the US out of the accord on 4 November last year. Mr Biden has pledged to make the fight against climate change a top priority of his administration. Alberta's leader, Premier Jason Kenney, said he was "deeply concerned" by the reports of Mr Biden's plans and said if the pipeline was cancelled, his government would look at legal action.

Popular Post Warhippy Posted January 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2021 Kenney has spent almost $11 billion all told on Keystone in outright cash infusions and backstopped loans to facilitate the pipeline being finished. His power ends at the border between provinces and nations. Biden outright said almost 18 months ago he'd cancel it. Kenney STILL wasted billions of Albertan tax dollars on this. Yet somehow. Someway reading the comments on this, it's Trudeau's fault and Trump is some sort of hero.... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't want to share in any of the wealth when the money was good, but more than happy to let the rest of the country suffer for their greed.

Yay! I have my doubts... but maybe, just maybe this will help wake up Alberta voters to reality.

True, but it's now because of Kenney there is now more suffering. This is why living under a rock only puts you between a rock and a hard place.

This is why living under a rock only puts you between a rock and a hard place. America over the last 12 years has pumped their production full of steroids to the point they're a net exporter of oil and gas. The one thing NOBODY in Alberta seems to consider at all, is that the US has literally zero need or incentive to allow Canadian exports through their country as it will take money out of their pockets. The US helped destroy the Canadian energy plan in the 80s to ensure that Iran/Iraq/Saudi had no hold over them via energy shocks as they wanted a secure source of oil nobody could hamper. NAFTA helped cement that. Now they don't need us as they've ramped up everything in their own nation, Biden has not re-enacted protections for oil development areas because he knows there's still a few decades where oil for fuel will be essential. Basically, Alberta signed their own fate back in the 80s and the US has zero need now at all to help them. Kenney is demanding trade wars and sanctions against the US yet taking no ownership for the waste and lies he foisted upon the people in his province. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/keystone-xl-u-s-oil-supplies-pipeline-alberta-biden-1.5882313 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to give to get. It's not you just get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
