Biden's decision to cancel Keystone is one the US will eventually regret.

Bro, there’s almost nothing but hard left cultists in the political section. You won’t get honest answers from any of them, and 99% have no posts outside the political subsection of a goddamn weed forum.
Oh, Hi.

Hey, now that you are here, I'd like to ask you the same question that I asked earlier and you were probably to busy to answer. So, about your complaints that the US isn't up to your standards for freedom, liberty or whatever it is you are upset about. To help put context in those posts of yours, I would appreciate if you could name a large country or society that matches your expectations? Any large country, society in any time that managed to defend itself and have a thriving population while meeting your expectations will do.

Sadly no. We've seen some good improvements on these issue under the Liberal government these last 5 years but still have something like 80+ first nations communities that struggle with clean water today. Internet in the north is very sketchy and low speed still. People are excited about Starlink cause it's better than the traditional/old infrastructure up there.
we're getting Deb Haaland now for Interior..long overdue i'm extremely excited.

I think they should drill a tunnel through the mountains and ship it from one of their Western ports.
Well, there's already pipelines going that way, and they're expanding them as we speak as well. The goal for these companies is to export as much as they possibly can, however they. Which direction the pipelines run is almost immaterial to them as long as they can increase their production levels and export numbers.

That's correct. The PROPOSED Keystone XL ends in Nebraska. The already existing lines would take it from there. It's not even complete to that point yet and is not capable of getting oil anywhere near Nebraska junction lines yet.
The solid line is the existing one. If they would have followed it the pipeline would have been built already. But they wanted to save on construction and pumping costs. It makes sense if there was no opposition.

succinct but exactly my point.

if anything, we should be inspecting/retrofitting/improving/etc all of our aging pipelines here. they are gonna leak, i think that's a given, and we should improve on shut down response time and containment.
New pipelines are good for years, it is only when they get old. By the time the Keystone line would get aged, we will all be flying electric cars.
