Climate Change Dispatch by Joel B. Pollak on May 19, 2020

Former Vice President Joe Biden vowed Monday to stop the Keystone XL pipeline “for good” if elected president.

The pipeline, to carry oil from Canada’s tar sands into the United States, was blocked by President Barack Obama for years, even though it had passed an environmental review.

The Obama administration stopped the project under pressure from radical environmentalists over concerns about climate change — though the alternative to the Keystone XL was simply that the oil would be exported from Canada to China, rather than to the U.S., and used there instead.

The Obama administration’s hostility to the pipeline complicated relations with Canada and led to a 2016 lawsuit by TransCanada, the company involved in the project, claiming Obama breached the terms of the NAFTA trade deal.

There was substantial public support for the Keystone XL project among local residents along the pipeline route.

The other Biden, Jill, wants it so badly she can taste it.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
America under Democrats. So far a handful of judges have stopped it.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

A statement like that from Biden makes it more and more clear that the already  reality-challenged and morally bankrupt Dem Party is under further control from the far left socialists.
Biden is incapable of coming with these leftist ideas by himself. Or any ideas, socialist or otherwise for that matter.
Biden would stop oil, which heats homes in America, from getting to the U.S. to  facilitate the ridiculously stupid Green agenda.
Biden and his rich pals who run the Dem Party won't be hurt by a shutdown....only average Americans.
I'd add that the Dems are clueless, but they don't care that they're clueless. It's more important for them to impose the Green agenda and get ready for the socialist revolution.

The junkie media is lying again... from the link in the story

Quote
“Biden strongly opposed the Keystone pipeline in the last administration, stood alongside President Obama and Secretary Kerry to reject it in 2015, and will proudly stand in the Roosevelt Room again as President and stop it for good by rescinding the Keystone XL pipeline permit,” Biden campaign policy director Stef Feldman said in a written statement to POLITICO.

Biden never said it... his campaign wrote it down and gave it to politico... Slow joe cannot put together complete sentences..

We really should put a kiddie gate across the basement door in his house. BTW, have they childproofed his house yet?
