President-elect Joe Biden appears poised to sign an executive order canceling the permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline on his first day. Such a move would reverse one of President Trump’s first actions in office.
The development cast a dark cloud over Canada’s energy sector. Upon hearing the news, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney immediately asked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to encourage the Biden administration not to scrap the pipeline on behalf of “Canadian workers,” “Canadian jobs,” and the “Canadian-U.S. relationship.”
To make the $8 billion project more palatable for the Biden administration, Keystone XL’s owner TC Energy announced an array of green initiatives to accompany the pipeline’s construction.
National Review further reports:
The company has also vowed to hire a union workforce and eliminate all greenhouse-gas emissions from operations by 2030. It has promised to acquire renewable power for the entire network, though that may take until 2030 to finish. In the meantime, the company plans to buy credits funding emissions-reduction projects to offset its emissions.
“In our view, this is the most sustainable and environmentally friendly pipeline project that is ever been built,” Richard Prior, president of TC Energy’s Keystone XL expansion project, told the Journal. “This is groundbreaking stuff for an energy infrastructure project of the size and scale of Keystone XL.”
Construction on the Keystone XL pipeline, a 1,210-mile expansion to a larger pipeline network, finally began last year under a permit President Trump granted to bypass a federal judge’s order blocking construction in the U.S., pending a supplemental environmental review.
If completed, Keystone XL will transport 830,000 barrels every day from Alberta’s oil sands to the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Biden has sided with progressive Democrats in calling for a move away from oil in light of climate change concerns. Meanwhile, Canadian government officials, who want to get more bottlenecked Canadian crude to the U.S. Gulf Coast, have continued to advocate for the project with the president-elect’s team.
The developments highlight the Democrat Party’s rapidly leftward lurch on environmental issues from Bill Clinton’s time in office.
Please work to discontinue our victimization by the Al Gore climate change fraud. Certainly our climate continues to change, but human activity has almost no influence. CO2 is an insignificant greenhouse gas: H2O keeps us from freezing.
The real scientists of American Chemical Society explain: “It’s Water Vapor, Not the CO2

Remark: “The Earth has certainly been warming since we have added so much CO2 to the atmosphere from fossil fuel burning.”

Could be another wager. Will Biden make it in office long enough to cancel this project or will they remove him first.
He’ll do a Jeffrey Epstein, Then Commie Harris will finish the destruction, while the FBI attacks veterans for being white supremacists from defending themselves,
But the FBI was absent during riots, anarchists burning and looting. Driving Patriots away. WHOS SIDE ARE THEY ON? NOT ON THE AMERICAN SIDE. Their director
and his thugs lied to FISA COURT REPEATEDLY.
LAW AND ORDER? OUT THE WINDOW.
BIDEN WILL BE IN OFFICE 30 DAYS MAX before he is removed for MENTAL INCOMPETENCE VIA THE 25TH AMENDMENT AND KAMAL TOES WILL BE INSTALLED AS POTUS WITH EITHER MOOCHIE OBAMA HILLARY CLINTON OR HUSSEIN OBAMA AS VICE POTUS. WITHIN 2 YRS THE US CONSTUTUTION WILL BE AMENDED TO READ THAT THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT AND THE OFFICE OF VICE PRESIDENT ARE LIFE TIME POSITIONS THAT ARE UNABLE TO BE CHANGED IN ANY WAY BY ANYONE !
I’m pretty sure that any amendment to the US Constitution has to be ratified by the calling a Convention of States.
No Convention is necessary. But a new amendment has to be ratified (approved) by 3/4 of all states. A task not likely to succeed..
True as that is, the way things look now I can see it passing.
That would probably be another fraudulent vote…
EARLIER IN YEAR THEY HAVE ALREADY WITH HELP OF SOROS BEGAN A RE-WRITING OF CONSTITUTION!
Unless he really blows it I expect him to be in office at least two years so that Harris will have a shot at two full terms of her own after completing his. But getting Biden out of office will not do America much good while Harris is still there. She is determined to rule the country with an iron hand through executive orders.
I think they will need to keep Biden in the white house a lot longer than that. He will be our first President In Name Only (P.I.N.O.). One thing should be obvious to everyone by now. The election was not between Trump and Biden. Trump was running against Harris, Schumer, Pelosi, all the Democrats, liberal Republicans and the wealthy elite. Biden is just a puppet and they are his puppet masters. They aren’t about to let Biden run the country. By now I can’t believe that a large majority of those who voted for him, think that President Biden will be in charge. They must realize by now that they voted for his puppet masters.
As a puppet, his job will be to sit in the Oval Office and sign the documents put in front of him. Speeches and statements will be written for him. Press conferences will be handled by the Press Secretary or the Vice President. If he does interviews, Schumer, Pelosi and the rest will be pulling the strings. You can be sure Obama and Hillary will also have their hands on the strings.
They will need Biden in the Oval Office for the next few years at least. Harris, Schumer, Pelosi and the rest are going to be making a lot of major changes fast. They will need Biden in the Oval Office in case any or all of their projects backfires and they can’t sweep it under the rug. He will be their scapegoat.
Well if A-Ho–gets his way will destroy AMERICA ,and give the US TO CHINA TO RULE.. THAT IS THE DEM. AGENDA , HE NEEDS TO BE CHARGED WITH TREASON,, HE IS NOT A PRESIDENT BUT A DICTATOR OF A COMMUNIST AGENDA.. GET RID OF HIS SORRY ,AAAAAAAAAAA SSSSSSSSSSSSS
Biden is off to a start of eliminating American jobs. He is on a path to destroy our economy, which was doing very well even though it was damaged by the pandemic.
what a stupid thing to do but then he is a democRAT
Don’t you mean a Demon-rat?
BIDEN has to be totally crazy with jealousy and stupid rage to even imagine doing this to so many people and their jobs.
He is a sick puppy and a prime candidate for the 25th amendment….We The People are in trouble with THAT for a leader.
Jealousy and Rage are no way to run the country. Political motivation is also a lousy way to help the American people.
Maybe this will show PA what fools they were.
Biden wasnt worried about gas companies when his doper son, Hunter, was on the Ukraine gas board, making huge salary. Now, he wants to destroy our
Economy and Canadian economy.
His hypocritical speech to come together.
The biggest military buildup in history.
But criticized military parades when our last president
was in office.
Biden will single handedly drive America
Into massive unemployment, loss of American business
In favor of China.
NOT MY PRESIDENT.
Ours either.I may not live to see this man out of office,hope he stays healthy but Ms.Harris is really questionable for America.She is so far left,very scary as her being #2
The Demon-rats’ plan is obvious: Kommie HasNoBrain is too radical to get elected, even in a massively-rigged election. So they picked a senile criminal for POTUS with her as VP; so when Godfather Bi-dung is removed either by the 25th or by impeachment for his numerous criminal acts she will become POTUS.
I pray every day that God will protect us from these demons and remove them from power before they can do us any harm (and lead them to repent of their sins).
..and that would no doubt be a disaster….check her out when she was in CA….
He supports foreign energy where Hunter can make money, He does not support the United States being energy independent. He and his controllers want to shut down the fossil fuel industry in America.
Well…..after all the comments posted here today…..just who voted for Biden????
All of our positive progress…..
Sold for cash to support the Biden Crime Family.
Senile Joe Biden, ready for the 25th Amendment on day 2!
Biden is only capable of doing what he is told, he is too far gone to be able to think on his own. With him & Harris in charge, God help us all.
Ana, God may have finally washed his hands of America.We had the chance to re-elect President Trump so all bets are off come the 20th of Jan.
BOYCOTT watching inauguration. Help Biden get lowest ratings in history of televised inaugurations.
Are you referring to President Pevert
wait until the rolling brown, black outs hit the elite. wait until the cold or heat of summer hits. then we will see commonsense come back into the energy industry and how spoiled people are by having dependable electric. solar and wind and batteries are not in a position to be effective.
BIDEN is rushing HELL BENT to destroy the UNITED STATES and turn it into a SOCIALIST THIRD WORLD SHITHOLE AND TRY TO BLAME TRUMP !
Biden doesn’t care what’s good for the Country. Democrats want workers on welfare and on the Democrat plantation and dependent on Democrat vote buying.
We the peoples fault.
The Democrats/Progressives/Socialists will Start Vanishing One by One as They Meet the Justice They have Earned! Karma Always Comes for You when You Least Expect It!
Why do You Need Approval for “Clean Comments”?
So we are headed for 10.00 a gallon gas, 15.00 quarter pounder with cheese and 1000.00 utility costs to heat and cool our houses hot damn bring on that communism we will all have jobs sweeping the streets with hand brooms.
What is expected from the ultra Left and Biden…destruction of anything Trump touched regardless of the damage to America…there will be plenty. If Trump used Mathematics, it will be outlawed. Those who voted for this idiot (about 50 million, the rest were machine votes) I hope suffer the most.
Yeah, the guy from Scranton is going to eliminate all those good paying union jobs on the pipeline. Not to worry though, Beijing Biden will get them the opportunity to make $15/hr installing Chinese solar panels.
The Biden/Harris administration in their vengeance on Trump will move us backwards rather than forwards.
Supposedly the new president was supposed to “mend the relationships with our allies.” I guess that’s not going to happen. The last I checked, Canada is one of those allies. The pipeline is something that both the U.S. and Canada want. What a shame the new administration refuses to admit the existence of all the good things President Trump did during his 4 years. This, and the control of the border, are being discarded for the sake of politics!
The corruption,that the hidenbiden cartel,is in, will make sure he is impeached before he ever gets in, we can’t allow a corrupt,puppet,like dementia,slo,joe to steal the election, and destroy all the good Trump accomplished, in his short time. Biden and harris are unfit for office, and both too corrupt to lead our country.
Back to the OPEC era pre Trump, OK people
Those who voted for Biden vs towed along my media to vote for Biden
The biggest DAMN Mistake
Some people never learn, period. Not my president
Badnews Biden promises to be a American job killer…more crap from China imported duty free, the runaway EPA wrecking American manufacturing and jobs, and wrecking the US Constitution as well…. At least Pres. Trump could have told China he was going to dishonor the US debt and then use that money to compensate American families and businesses for losses from the China Wuhan Covid viruses…. Please say your prayers daily. I pray daily that the Anti-Constitution types in Congress and their corrupt censoring big tech buddies suffer famine and ruin for the rest of their days, and that they shall forever NEVER dwell in the House of the LORD….
If Biden’s so filled with hatred for Pres. Trump and begins to abolish all of his great accomplishments for America, then he needs to be impeached now and charged with high treason.
What do we think will happen after all of he American people actually see all the wonderful benefits Trump passed going on a qucick dissappearing act back to the disasterous days of the Obama rein where people were kept on part time basids and many had o work more than one job. . . and our minority brothers and sisters see their jpobs gpne because of bad tax moves. . .AND WE THOUGHT THE MINNEAPOLIS, PORTLAND, SEATTLE, CHICAGO AND OTHER CITIES TROUBLE WAS BAD AND THE DEMS WANT TO TAKE OUR GUNS AWAY? ? ? NOT LIJELY ! I PERSONALLY WONDER WHEN HE WILL ABANDON YHE PEACE PRODUCED BETWEEN ISRAEL AND MANY ARAB NATIONS ?
Say hello to $6.00 per gallon gasoline and a lot of freedom of movement. But it’s okay, taxes will go so sky high nobody will be able to even afford to ride the bus.
I don’t feel too sorry for the Canadians. Trudeau has been bashing us every chance he gets.
