Another major idiotic Biden decision!!!

[ABikerSailor]

Several as in 2 or 3 years??
You're laughable.

Considering it was only 8 percent complete (meaning there was still 92 percent left to be done), yeah, 2 or 3 years from now.

 

[ABikerSailor]

And? It would be completed by now and operational in 2023.

Misunderstood Keystone XL a Reminder of the Importance of Critical Infrastructure

More than a year after its cancellation by President Biden on his first day in office, the Keystone XL crude oil pipeline remains a flashpoint in a larger public debate over the impacts of his administration’s policies – on American energy security, consumer costs and even the Russia-Ukraine war.

www.api.org

When Biden stopped it (back in 2020, almost 2 years ago), it was only 8 percent complete. Sorry, but no...............it wouldn't have been operational by 2023 (92 percent is a lot of pipeline to complete, what they still had left to do), and even if it would have been operational by NEXT YEAR (by your own admission), it wouldn't have done anything to alleviate the gas prices that happened this year.

 

[Cellblock2429]

Yep, they just hear that a pipeline was stopped, then hear about high gas prices, and then try to say that stopping the pipeline is why prices are so high today.

To tell you the truth, if we had more refineries (a new one hasn't been built in a LONG time, and the ones we have are in serious need of updating/repair), we'd have the means to get more gas out to the consumer.

/——/ What gets me is we’re all driving more efficient cars than even 15 years ago, plus the Hybrids and EVs. Seems we’d have plenary of low cost gas.

I know that I'm driving a more efficient car, even though it's a 2008. Bought it used just over 6 months ago, and it's getting 31 to 36 mpg, even though it's 12 years old.

Checked my mileage today when I gassed up (and gas was only 2.98/gal today), and when I figured my mileage, it was at 32 mpg, and that's with a fair amount of city driving too!

I don't blame the government or Biden for the gas prices, I blame the oil and gas companies, who are making record profits, even now.

You're going to need SEVERAL of these ^^^^ red bowls to scoop $10 worth of mashed potatoes.

This ^^^ is why we despise the typical RWI.

Those aren't mashed potatos, can you say reconstituted mush?

10-4!

Except the Dimm's have a war on fossil fuels and plan to bottle Unicorn farts in order to charge 10 more EV's.

Excalibur is the one who said they thought it would be operational by next year if Biden hadn't stopped it. A 2023 operational date would have done nothing to alleviate the gas prices this year. And, considering the magnitude of construction of something like that, I highly doubt that 92 percent of the pipeline (the amount still needed to complete it) could have been done in 3 years.

 

[ABikerSailor]

.

Well, considering that a 5 lb bag of potatoes today is between 2 and 4 bucks, I'd say that the reconstituted mush would be more expensive than boiling and mashing them yourself. Mashed potatoes are fairly cheap to make (in addition to being really good if you have someone who knows how to make a decent gravy or you have REAL butter on hand).

You mean you don't buy his BS story that he bought a turkey for less than a dollar a pound?

Some stores did that as a losss leader.

Killing Keystone XL northern leg was just one among numerous things the idiot Biden has done to mess with our energy supply. As he approves a new oil exporting terminal.

Pipelines get built fast.

Maybe he drove his Mercedes through a free turkey line designed for the food deprived.
A guy here in Vegas busted his well off neighbor for doing so!

Funny how they failed to mention that the commies promised Reagan border security in exchange for the amnesty, the security never came. Typical lying commies.

Reagan didn't open up the border to millions, just to get their votes.

Kroger was giving away turkeys for a $100.00 purchase of other groceries.

revoked Keystone XL pipeline.
On Day One, the President signed an executive order to impose a temporary moratorium on oil and gas leasing activity in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR); withdrew offshore areas in Arctic waters and the Bering Sea from oil and gas drilling; and revoked the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline.

But this idiot had NO idea what that affect had on all of US!
Energy companies are warning that a threatened nationwide rail strike already is wreaking havoc on their supply chains and may cause severe bottlenecks across multiple industries, including coal, chemicals and oil and gas.
A shutdown would idle 7,000 trains a day and cost the economy $2 billion a day, according to the Association of American Railroads. In addition to manufacturers, the power sector would be hurt since 70 percent of the national’s coal travels by rail, the association said

A prolonged strike could have severe repercussions for oil and coal and have broader effects than the Covid-19 pandemic, analysts say.

The Refining & Petrochemical Industries Have High Exposure to a Rail Strike​

More than two million carloads of fuel and petrochemical feedstocks and products including crude oil, natural gas liquids, refined products, petrochemicals and plastics move by rail every year.1Faced with a strike, refiners and petrochemical manufacturers will be challenged with multiple pain points that hinder our ability to move feedstocks, byproducts, components of fuels and refined products.

Impacts of a Rail Strike Will be Felt Quickly. Even Prior to a Strike.

America’s freight rail system is an essential part of our national and global supply chains, including those for fuels and petrochemicals. While a work stoppage would be devastating, service curtailments and other strike impacts will be felt much sooner—before a strike is formally launched. As...

What a absolutely idiotic action STRICTLY for political reason against Trump!

What a stupid post. The ONLY reason Trump approved the Keystone XL, was because Obama turned it down, on the basis of the environmental assessment reports. NOBODY WANTED THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE EXCEPT TRUMP - TO SPITE OBAMA.

Here a 5 pound bag is around $2.50 and we never us anything but real butter and potatos. Oh and whole milk.

yet, not too long ago, a 10lb bag of potatoes was $1.99

Butter has also doubled in price.

Fairly cheap to make? Yet more than twice the cost of before Obama/Biden doubled down on the war against oil.

So you are ok with Oil tankers like Exxon Valdez doing this?
Because Canada needs to move this oil and the only way now is to do the following.

What a absolutely idiotic action STRICTLY for political reason against Trump!

On March 24, 1989 the oil tanker Exxon Valdez ran aground in Prince William Sound, Alaska, spilling 11 million gallons of oil. The ecologically sensitive location, season of the year, and large scale of this spill resulted in one of the largest environmental disasters in U.S. history.

Exxon settled in 1991 with funds disbursed in three discrete parts: criminal plea agreement ($25 million), criminal restitution ($100 million), and civil settlement ($900 million).

What Were the Impacts?
The spill affected more than 1,300 miles of shoreline, with immense impacts for fish and wildlife and their habitats, as well as for local industries and communities.

The oil killed:

An estimated 250,000 seabirds
2,800 sea otters
300 harbor seals
250 bald eagles
As many as 22 killer whales
Billions of salmon and herring eggs
More than 25 years since the spill, the following species remain in a “Not Recovering” or “Unknown” status:

Killer whales (family group known as pod AT1)
Kittlitz’s murrelets
Marbled murrelets
Pigeon guillemots
What’s Happening Now?
Settlement funds have been used to fund multiple restoration and protection projects throughout Prince William Sound, the Gulf of Alaska, and for habitats outside of the state that are important for migratory species. More than 600,000 acres of land have been protected using settlement funds and matching funds from numerous restoration, research, and monitoring programs.
