Joe Biden is set to halt construction of The Keystone XL Pipeline on "Day 1". How is this good for The United States?
Halting construction of the pipeline will immediately do three things. 1) It will kill over 11,000 jobs, many of them union jobs. 2) It will increase America's dependence on foreign oil. 3) It will be another strain on relations with Canada. So again I Ask, how is halting construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline good for America?
Yes, we as a nation are energy independent, right. Right now, we are the largest producer of crude oil in tbe workd. Even so, we still import crude oil from other countries. (At the same time, we export crude oil. Don't ask me why. That part, I don't understand either.)
As for the environment, a pipeline is a safer, cleaner, more cost-effective way to move crude oil, gasolone and natural in large quantities than trucks or trains.
I don't know why you think I should be happy that union jobs will be lost. A lost job is a lost job, union or not. An out of work union employee faces the same hardships as a non-union worker.
