    The facts don't matter.  This is about payback to his radical green supporters.  He cares no more about safety than he does about the 10s of 1000s of jobs that are being lost and the fact that fuel and energy costs will go ups.

    No one is quite sure. The first reason was environmental, but multiple studies, two by Obama, proved that isn't the issue. The pipeline is better environmentally speaking, then the the current rail system being used, that will confine to be used. Some claim the jobs were not permanent that they would only be a couple. But that ignores the refining, the port, and all the support business and who they hire.  It is true that the US gained very little from that oil as far as our supply goes, but the US can produce enough to meet it's needs now.  Or rather it could, until the ban on public land fracking went into place and I'm sure. Just like under Obama, the gulf and limits on public lands will follow. It all comes down to forcing the US to go green, by limiting global supply and increasing cost.

    You can ask fake billionaire Bankruptcy king and fraud traitor trump to run the greenest pipeline past your home and through his golf course if you want it so much.

    Why should the u.s. handle Canadian tar sands ? We get none of the oil , it all goes to China. The u.s. gets mountains of toxic sand . Let Canada deal with the mess .

    Oil is needed?  Sort of like how waterwheels are needed for all the cotton mills in New England?

    By the way, the US gets a whole 3% of its oil from Canada.

    This was one of the first of a continual series of blunders by the AntiPOTUS. Everyone knew Biden was going to be a disaster, but no one knew just how bad it was going to be.
