In doing so, Biden would reverse actions taken by President Donald Trump, who in 2017 cleared the way for the $8 billion oil sands pipeline to built across the U.S.-Canada border.
Trump, a Republican, had made building the pipeline a central promise of his presidential campaign. Biden was vice president in the Obama administration when it rejected the project as contrary to its efforts to combat climate change. “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,” Stef Feldman, Biden’s policy director, said in a statement.
Construction of the pipeline, which would carry 830,000 barrels a day of crude from Alberta, Canada to the U.S. Midwest, has been delayed for more than decade by opposition from landowners, environmental groups and tribes. Last month, a U.S. federal court dealt another setback when it ruled against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ use of a new pipeline permit to cross bodies of water, potentially delaying construction further.
Kill the pipeline and throw all support behind 'clean' natural gas that will pollute the remainder of American ground water sources that the majority of the country relies on for life, just like Obama did. AllPoliticiansAreDirty
Clearly shows he is pandering because closing it down makes no sense and further he probably knows that he really can’t. Pipelines don’t use oil - people do. But lemmings will believe he can do this. A great plan kill jobs when an economy is recovering.
Just because of that , I hope trump wins !! 🛢🛢🛢

At least he is telling the voters what he is going to do

Alexa, who was Vice President from 2009-2017?
Goodbye Keystone pipeline jobs. There will not be any jobs to replace them per Joe Biden. Remember when Hillary said they were shutting down coal? How harsh and uncaring. That’s the Dems.

Education and healthcare and the environment have taken a real beating from tromp.

Yes back to heavy handed regulation and an end to energy independence. Joe’s motto is MAMA. Make America Mediocre Agan.
