the people on the right have to keep crying about the Keystone pipeline, some keep saying " open " the Keystone pipeline when the Keystone pipeline was NEVER shut down by the Government the Keystone XL pipeline construction was shut down. NOT the Keystone pipeline.Neither of those fly.
Much like the keystone pipeline issue, the first deals with the suggestion of how oil and gas might be transported more cheaply via pipeline in the future. It does not in any way prove Biden's supposed restrictions on other pipelines caused gas price increases in 2021-2022. If I'm wrong, cite me the company who can say: "We applied for a new pipeline permit in early 2021; the Biden administration rejected it; had they approved it, the pipeline would have been completed in the same year and gas prices would have been reduced as a result."
And the 2nd point is the same conjecture/failed argument I already mentioned: Biden vocally does not like oil; so prices are higher.
And for all the instances you can reference like the one you did, there are many others where he clarifies the position that while we have to ultimately move away from non renewable fossil fuels, it can't happen overnight and it shouldn't happen overnight.
and IF the pipeline company just would have done what the EPA told them to do and build it next to the original Keystone pipeline coming from Canada they could have built it but they insisted on the new route and the EPA said NO then in the early part of the Obama admin, Obama vetoed a bill letting them build it and they tried to override his veto and it would have been IF the 4 Senators from several south west states would have voted for it .
and as I said there have been more then 19 oil and gas pipelines put into service since Biden took office and that was back in June of 2022
Have a nice day
