“the Keystone XL project would have created between 16,149 and 59,000 jobs and would have had a positive economic impact of between $3.4-9.6 billion”

Biden’s Department of Energy recently released a report which showed the consequences of his decision to cancel the Keystone XL Pipeline during his first week in office.

In a surprise to no one, the report concluded that this decision killed thousands of jobs and potentially billions of dollars.

Biden admin quietly admits canceling Keystone XL Pipeline cost thousands of jobs, billions of dollars

The Biden administration published a congressionally mandated report highlighting the positive economic benefits the Keystone XL Pipeline would have had if President Biden didn’t revoke its federal permits.

The report, which the Department of Energy (DOE) completed in late December without any public announcement, says the Keystone XL project would have created between 16,149 and 59,000 jobs and would have had a positive economic impact of between $3.4-9.6 billion, citing various studies. A previous report from the federal government published in 2014 determined 3,900 direct jobs and 21,050 total jobs would be created during construction which was expected to take two years.

But immediately after taking office in January 2021, Biden canceled the pipeline’s permits, effectively shutting the project down.

Nazi Pelosi used to maintain the economy was strongest when lots of people were getting unemployment.  The more people unemployed, the stronger the economy.  So we should praise Biden for his efforts to improve the economy through unemployment.

Not only jobs, but 50-60% of those USW UNION JOBS....

I hope that fact is not lost in the '24 race, and every dim and indy voter ponders that.

Particularly those who are rank-and-file union members.

Particularly those who are rank-and-file union members.

I don't know every union member down here where I used to work obviously, but right now anecdotally, I'd say that split is about 80/20 anti-Biden.

These guys understand he threatens their very livelyhoods. Those 20% are mostly minorities, and brain-washed/dead life long dims.
