Pres.-elect Joe Biden's incoming administration plans to rescind the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline on his first day in office, sources say, delivering a win to an array of progressive organizations and rolling back one of Pres. Trump's earliest moves

The decision was not included in a memo from incoming Biden chief of staff Ron Klain released on Saturday, but sources familiar with the move tell CNN that the Biden team intends to make the executive order one of the President-elect's first climate crisis actions.Biden Transition

The pipeline has long been a political hot button and Trump made it a political issue during the 2016 general election. The Keystone pipeline system current stretches more than 2,600 miles, carrying crude from Alberta, Canada, through Manitoba, Canada, and down into Texas. The Keystone XL portion, which has been protested and opposed by numerous indigenous groups, would run from Alberta to Nebraska and cut through Montana and North Dakota.

I’m still trying to understand what benefit of selling oil from 2000 miles away to the most oil rich area of our country and one of the most in the world! icetoeskimos

biden access denied...

and will KILL JOBS. Congrats CNN...

Sounds like Biden is going to earn his forbidden China earnings by slowing down our oil and gas production we need to sell to other countries . Just so China can go back to making the money to build up their military and or to take over our soverinty . 4 yrs of gloom and doom

It will add to our unemployment numbers and Joe shouldn't want that. It would also hinder our status as being energy independent I would guess.
