He didn't cave...He was bought.

It's True.....

An entire administration can't be this inept---they were paid off.

The pipeline in Illinois is 50 years old and is a disaster waiting to happen. It should have been replaced 5 years ago. It could be devastating to the great lakes. You should try to learn more about this before you go off halfcocked.

Tar Sands Action » Key Facts on Keystone XL

You said it was going to benefit China. I asked for a link to that.

"Keystone XL only benefits the Chinese. You should have known that 10 years ago."

Your link says this:

Keystone XL is an export pipeline. According to presentations to investors, Gulf Coast refiners plan to refine the cheap Canadian crude supplied by the pipeline into diesel and other products for export to Europe and Latin America. Proceeds from these exports are earned tax-free. Much of the fuel refined from the pipeline’s heavy crude oil will never reach U.S. drivers’ tanks.​

And why cannot you and others comprehend that we would refine the product and sell, it on the world market making more diesel, etc. available on the world market?

LOL The environmental wackos don't want pipelines replaced.

Look at the fight in Michigan over replacing part of a pipeline from Canada that is almost 70 years old.

Canada escalates Michigan pipeline battle with decades-old treaty

The Canadian government invoked oil and gas transit rights under a decades-old treaty with the U.S. to stop Michigan’s attempt to shut down an Enbridge Inc. pipeline under the Great Lakes.

Whitmer wants to "diversify" energy. She and her ilk are dumbasses.

And since she has fought the new portion for a few years now, thus delaying its construction, any leak in the old line is on her and others opposing the new portion.

Biden has caved to Putin several times since he was sworn in.

BTW I thought Germany was so advanced in windmills and solar, why do they need this NG? Aren't they the envy of the American's who think wind and soar can run a grid?

Ukraine's president accused the Biden administration of handing a "weapon" to the Kremlin by allowing the completion of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which Russian president Vladimir Putin hopes to use to build influence in Europe.

"This is a weapon, a real weapon … in the hands of the Russian Federation," Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with Axios that aired Sunday. "It is not very understandable … that the bullets to this weapon can possibly be provided by such a great country as the United States."

Zelensky told Axios that he learned through press reports last month that Biden had decided to waive sanctions against European companies helping build the pipeline. He said that Biden had previously given him indications that he would not allow the completion of the pipeline, which will transport gas directly from Russia to Germany.

U.S. and Ukrainian officials are concerned that Nord Stream 2, which is owned by Russian gas giant Gazprom, will give Putin more leverage over Ukraine and other Eastern European countries that the pipeline bypasses. Biden's decision conflicts with his past claims to adamantly support Ukraine and oppose Putin. As vice president, Biden served as the Obama administration's chief liaison to Ukraine following the ouster of Viktor Yanukovych, its pro-Russia leader.

Zelensky said that the United States is the only nation that can stop the completion of the 764-mile pipeline. While the Biden administration has called the pipeline a "Kremlin geopolitical project," it opposes sanctions out of concerns about harming the U.S.-German relationship. German officials largely support the pipeline because it will transport relatively cheap gas to Germany

...

Nord Stream 2 AG, which is based in Switzerland, has shelled out millions of dollars in the United States to lobby against sanctions on the pipeline. Five European companies that have loaned billions to Nord Stream 2 AG paid two Atlantic Council scholars nearly $3 million since 2017 to lobby in favor of the pipeline.​

I know that pipeline is dangerous. Should have been replaced years ago.

That's nice. But remember, he's focused on Ukraine's interests solely.

As it turns out, the US president is not as laser focused only on Ukraine's interests, as the Ukrainian president is. Shocking, I know.

Also, let's remember who decided to invade and slaughter Ukrainians.
