First of all, even before getting cancelled by Biden, Keystone XL project had a lot of legal hurdles to still clear. Courts rulled that they didn't have proper environmental permits and
project was halted in June 2020. So even without questioning, the highly questionable construction timeline, there is no way they would finish the project this year.
Secondly I've never seen any serious estimate of
X to be all that significant. That low grade tarsand oil has limited use and it's not as if it would be free, even if cheaper.
Ahhh dude, sorry, but now you are making excuses. They had the permits up to the 1st point it was supposed to be tied in. Where you are talking about is the smaller offshoot, or should I say, smaller length offshoot.
By the way, know why it was being shipped down here? Because we can refine it!
Look, all you have to do to know what is going on, is look at the table I posted. You can go to the top of the table and see every category from natural gas, electric, food, gasoline, etc on down. When you cross reference it with the policies Presidents put in place and follow it down the chart from there, you see the effect. For instance...............look at coal policy, and see the effect on electricity. When you also cross reference it with how the economy was doing at the time, you get a pretty good idea when following down the table for all policy initiatives, how it worked out.
That does NOT mean that all Democrat Administrations did bad things, and all Republican Administrations did good things. What it helps everyone understand is.............what worked, and what did NOT work as advertised by our politicians from both sides of the aisle.
Look, for people who do not care about the price of fuel, natural gas, or electricity and just want to go green, just SAY IT, and quit making excuses. As soon as you discover when these initiatives were started by BOTH sides and then correlate it to the table and go down, while cross referencing it with economic growth to offset other variables to make, or subvert reality, you can come to an easy conclusion of how this stuff worked.
It is NOT HARD to do! Then, depending upon your stance on energy, you know EXACTLY who to, or who to NOT support. Just look at the Obama initiatives, the GW initiatives, the Trump initiatives, and the Biden initiatives. Hell, even look at the Clinton initiatives if it shows them. You can plainly see what they do to us by following the corresponding column down.
How do we know this?
Because like initiatives from either party, did exactly the same thing to different degrees. Now we can say causation has nothing to do with correlation; but at some point, you have to say that there is "no such thing as a coincidence!" If doing the same policy under a different name, in some cases by different political party's causes basically the same outcome in prices, then to most people, that would be called a CLUE!
