Former Keystone Pipeline worker says US energy crisis is result of Biden's policies: 'We tried to warn you'

Former Keystone XL Pipeline worker Neal Crabtree criticized the Biden administration for its energy policies, which he said have led to U.S. dependence on foreign oil and record-high gas prices.

www.foxnews.com

A former Keystone XL pipeline worker said the energy industry "tried to warn" President Biden against policies hindering U.S. oil and gas production – policies the worker said have caused the country's growing energy crisis.

"We tried to warn this administration back when they canceled the Keystone Pipeline" that it was also "canceling national security, foreign policy and energy," Neal Crabtree told Fox News. "They all kinda go hand-in-hand."

The average price for a gallon of gasoline in the U.S. hit a record high this week, as oil neared $130 per barrel. Biden announced Tuesday that he was banning Russian oil and gas imports, which he said targets the "main artery of Russia’s economy."

Millions of tried to warn people in this country of that empty suit Biden and the pending disaster that will hit this country but hatred of Trump, leftwing propaganda prevailed and we are all now paying the price

We all considered the alternative, and came to the right conclusion. Trump was the LOSER, and after his post-election words and actions, there's nothing anyone can say about Biden that will lead to buyer's remorse. Nothing. Period.

What's wrong with you? This should make you realize that we should become energy independent so we aren't hostage to a man like Putin or middle east bribes.

Stop using the war in Ukraine to hate on Biden, both sides agreed to do this sanction. We will deal. It's worth a few extra bucks to help others.

Doesn't appear to be the case according to the polls including the Gallup poll which asks if you are better off today than a year ago. Do you know what TDS is?

I keep waiting for someone with TDS to explain to us exactly what Trump did that generated this kind of hatred and irrational behavior. Still waiting. If you bothered to get the internals of the November 2020 polls you would find exactly how many voted FOR Biden as millions simply voted AGAINST Trump due to this irrational disease called TDS

Keystone wasn't going to bring oil to American markets.

If you bothered to pay attention to what happened prior to the Ukraine invasion you would see that gasoline prices were on the rise long before that invasion but cult followers have no understanding of reality. Are you going to deal with the reality that NATO was buying gasoline from Russia? Becoming energy independent is the liberal speak for Green energy which of course most Americans cannot afford when it comes to autos.

It was going to bring Canadian crude to refineries so it could be sold on the world market. We just don't have enough refinery capacity here.

There's that, but as this relates to the current situation in Europe, US oil companies have access to permits and lands that they are not maximizing so it's a bit odd to complain about this from a policy perspective. The other side of this is the POTUS can't just make private companies start producing more, but the forecasts are for increased US oil production through 2023, so it seems the premise of the OP fails against projections. The incentive is the high price of oil, so it's not as if oil companies are motivated by cheap gas prices for the US public.

So crude oil coming from Canada into the U.S. wasn't being paid for? selling on the world market? you mean like Biden did releasing strategic oil reserves and selling them to China?

Right out of the liberal propaganda book, you have no understanding of leasing and producing oil on federal land but continue to buy the liberal rhetoric ignoring the fact that this is all about promoting Green energy not doing what is right for the American people

Better pay attention to the consequences of Green Energy regarding automobiles

The keystone pipeline was to TRANSPORT canadian oil to refineries in the gulf. It would not produce a single drop of new oil production.

Except none of this addresses my original point. Your rant about green energy is irrelevant to anything I stated. Why would leasing and producing oil impact any of this when oil companies aren't even using all of the permits they currently have?

I think that if TC Energy could have shown it's plans were backed by working fail-safe mechanisms it would be less of an issue. Unfortunately it was proven to be an abysmal failure;

" between 2007 and 2010, pipelines moving tar sands oil in Midwestern states spilled three times more per mile than the U.S. national average for pipelines carrying conventional crude. Since it first went into operation in 2010, TC Energy’s original Keystone Pipeline System has leaked more than a dozen times; one incident in North Dakota sent a 60-foot, 21,000-gallon geyser of tar sands oil spewing into the air. Less than two years before the project was finally pulled, the Keystone tar sands pipeline was temporarily shut down after a spill in North Dakota of reportedly more than 383,000 gallons in late October 2019"

" People and wildlife coming into contact with tar sands oil are exposed to toxic chemicals, and rivers and wetland environments are at particular risk from a spill."

Yes, but the argument here is that it would add to the global supply. How much that would help in the current situation is another story.

It's interesting that a Conservative like yourself would back the federal government breaking a treaty and stealing land from sovereign nations. Big government isn't always so bad, like when they back foreign oil companies taking and polluting American land, right?

It's why there was a lot of pushback in Canada as well; particularly from native peoples whose land the pipeline would have gone through.

Does he explain how a pipeline that would not be online for 5-10 years has an effect on current gas prices?

[ElChupacabra]

Yeah, then there's that too. It's why I continue to bring up the fact oil companies aren't facing a shortage of permits or access to land, because those are more immediate expansion strategies. What doesn't seem to come up is why oil companies haven't been increasing production, and are now projected to. What shouldn't be surprising is that high prices are a better motivator than cheap gas prices for Americans; the oil industry isn't a charity.

 

[StillBallin75]

"doesn't have anything to do with Ukraine"

Lmao the prices of gas is going up EVERYWHERE not just in the states. And in fact, gas in Europe is WAY higher than it is here even under normal circumstances. Real solid and credible source, Mr. Crabtree.
