WASHINGTON—The Keystone oil pipeline’s developer plans to announce a series of overhauls—including a pledge to use only renewable energy—in a bid to win President-elect Joe Biden’s support for the controversial project.
Aides to Mr. Biden have previously said he plans to revoke the permit, and Canada’s CBC News reported late Sunday that Mr. Biden plans to do so in one of his first actions after taking office this week.hasn’t changed. In a bid to save the project, Canada’s TC Energy Corp. is committing to spend $1.7 billion on solar, wind and battery power to operate the partially completed 2,000-mile pipeline system between Alberta, in western Canada, and Texas, company officials say. They also are pledging to hire a union workforce and eliminate all greenhouse-gas emissions from operations by 2030.
The company’s plans reflect new realities at a time when Democrats are taking commanding positions in Washington, and in an era of growing environmental and social concerns.
Biden has pledged to shut it down. So prepare yourselves for high fuel costs.
Petroleum transportation via pipeline is the safest method for the environment compared to truck or rail. Killing this project has nothing to do with environmental safety and everything to do with killing the petroleum industry
So moving oil via diesel locomotives and tank cars across the continent is more environmentally friendly than a pipeline? 😆😆😆
Silly signalling. Closing will do nothing measurable for CO2 mitigation and negatively impact workers. Just the beginning.
Except for what they pour all over the reservation.
Sorry it’s going BYE BYE 👋🏻🤞🏻
'oil pipeline' and 'renewable power' should never be in the same sentence. Burning stuff is bad ... building leaky pipelines is bad ... OIL company is bad. 👎
🥱
Is this an ironic joke?
Guys seriously? If you wont I will.
Biden’s handlers already said “no”
JoeBiden shut it down Thursday morning
I use to drive by a rail yard in North Kansas City before the pipeline. The yard was full of tanker cars. These were full of all types of chemicals and hydrocarbons. I sure every car was regularly inspected and didn't travel through unban areas.
As I was saying... it's dead.👇👇👇
Shilly Presstitutes 🔥
We don't need these, especially if they are a risk to the environment. The cost of protecting the environment is very high, not free. = Democracy is about caring for all Do no harm
Eliminate carbon emissions how? By carbon offsetting? Give me a break
This project is dead. KeystoneXL billmckibben
Horrible move by Biden. Hurts Canadians and Americans and helps Russia and Iran and Venezuela. What team is he on?
Hopefully, Biden shuts this down.
LOL ya right.
thanks
