Liberals are  not blocking shit.

Keystone pipeline officially canceled after Biden revokes key permit

WED, JUN 9 20215:40 PM EDT


A $9 billion oil pipeline that became a symbol of the rising political clout of climate change advocates and a flash point in U.S.-Canada relations was officially canceled on Wednesday.

Keystone XL, which was proposed in 2008 to bring oil from Canada’s Western tar sands to U.S. refiners, was halted by owner TC Energy
 after U.S. President Joe Biden this year revoked a key permit needed for a U.S. stretch of the 1,200-mile project.

Opponents of the line fought its construction for years, saying it was unnecessary and would hamper the U.S. transition to cleaner fuels. Its demise comes as other North American oil pipelines, including Dakota Access and Enbridge Line 3, face continued opposition from environmental groups. ​

“This is a landmark moment in the fight against the climate crisis,” said Jared Margolis, a senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity. “We’re hopeful that the Biden administration will continue to shift this country in the right direction by opposing fossil fuel projects.”  .  .  .

Nice performance. Looks like AOC's ego is applying for statehood.

Love the avatar.  My brother lived in Germany for awhile and said the Germans absolutely loved Al Bundy.

Just watching a Netflix documentary on volcanos ... one in the Dominican Republic spews out more sulfur dioxide in ONE WEEK than all cars in the United States do in A YEAR!   :bolt:
Also CO2, and when you add all the other active volcanoes just on the Pacific ring of fire? I seem to recall that the effect of all that ash and gas usually results in lower global temps :shrug:

  As for the train derailment, the only reason crude is shipped on rail cars is because liberals block each and every attempt to build pipelines.



Liberals are  not blocking shit. I live right atop Marcellus Utica shale and gas lines zig zap every direction across my county and not a single protest

How many miles of natural gas pipelines are there in the United States?
Natural gas pipelines - U.S. Energy Information ...
about 3 million miles
The U.S. natural gas pipeline network is a highly integrated network that moves natural gas throughout the continental United States. The pipeline network has about 3 million miles of mainline and other pipelines that link natural gas production areas and storage facilities with consumers.

Indians and farmers and business owners  were more against the Keystone pipeline than anyone That was about the only pipeline protested in recent  years

Opposition to Keystone XL centered on the devastating environmental consequences of the project. The pipeline faced more than a decade of sustained protests from environmental activists and organizations; Indigenous communities; religious leaders; and the farmers, ranchers, and business owners along its proposed route.Apr 7, 2017

Texas  wind turbines failed a few winters ago because the manufacturer begged ERCOT to winterize them and they refused saying it would never get that cold. Well it did.

Well what do you know?  Global cooling strikes again.

So we're to believe that a freshly planted treeling will remove the same amount of CO2 from the air as a 100-year-old Norway spruce?
Well not when the Scots start cutting those trees down for heating because the green energy policies make NG and electricity very expensive for the public.

Germany was/is one of biggest adopters of off shore/on shore wind turbine generation and solar power and that has worked so well that the cost per KWH has skyrocketed and Germany has had to restart both coalfired and nuclear power generation to meet demand. But  forcing green energy on Americans will be different, because when we do it here it'll be different because just like communism it just wasn't done right everywhere else it failed? Oh wait, electricity is more expensive in America because of green policies.

Well who gives a shit if Americans can't afford 'green' electricity to put in those 'green' electric vehicles they can't afford, it's just part of the plan because when you can control the peoples movements it makes it easier to control the people.

1908?...  1913?  Really?

The pitfalls of copying and pasting without actually reading what you cut and paste.  Probably from some link that a buddy on DU gave him - a link that he neglected to include in his post.


1908?...  1913?  Really?

Here's one to add to your list...

May 18, 2024.....  bandag had his ass handed to him.

Not just today.  It's been a weekly occurrence since he first arrived.

Nearly all those accidents are from 2000 on up.   A solar panel  being taken out by hail does not kill anyone. (solar panel co's are looking at putting on small electric motors that will turn the panels vertical while a hail storm is happening) The amount of wind turbine fails are minimal.

Texas  wind turbines failed a few winters ago because the manufacturer begged ERCOT to winterize them and they refused saying it would never get that cold. Well it did.

Show me a town has to be evacuated or land destroyed because a wind turbine  failed.

You are really picking straws here.
