Haven't you heard? We have a goodly supply stored underground.
Enough to run a war for as long as it takes. Thanks to sleepy
Joe, we won't have enough pipeline to move it to the refinerys as
needed. Your adopted party is killing America. The big question
is Why.

So I guess you are willing to trade the democracy foundation of this country for a pipeline? I'm not. FWIW, I disagreed with the decision to cancel the Keystone pipeline, and will probably disagree with more decisions and policy initiatives down the line. Protecting democracy has a price.

How does canceling the pipeline "protect democracy"?

The whole concept of the 1st amendment is that we are allowed do
disagree with policy decisions made pretty much unilaterally by one
party. In this case they didn't even have much of an argument why the
pipeline was worse than thousands of tanker cars riding down Warren
Buffett's railroad every week. He distanced himself from owning the
cars but he still gets paid for hauling them.
Although there is PR value in that decision, it was probably made by
his risk management lawyers.
The oil itself is going to make it to market and either the US will
refine it or they will ship it to someone who will. The pipeline is
the most energy and carbon efficient way to do it.

Richard is correct about the electric cars, all they do is move the
smokestack down the road.

Spoofer!
