That's right. Keystone was not benefitting the USA, it was all for oil company's convenience and would put our nation environment at the risk. Plus, it would have been one more way to hurt our indigenous people.
Yeh... the repubDUB Machine is still alive and, well here's their secret song: repub a Dub Dub, Better stay in the Tub, the MarA-Lago heard clicken.. is just a big chicken, so Stay in the tub.. give your friends a "rub"....rubba rubba we're all just DUBS.

James Hansen, the dean of climate scientists in America, said that oil from the Alberts tar sands would be so dirty, the Keystone XL pipeline would mean "game over" for the climate crisis. He said, "What makes tar sands particularly odious is that the energy you get out in the end, per unit carbon dioxide, is ... equivalent to burning coal in your automobile. We simply cannot be that stupid if we want to preserve a planet for our children and grandchildren."
The Republicans always have short pithy sound bites that resonate but are NOT true, and they repeat them endlessly. I have family members and neighbors who repeat R talking points verbatim. Argh! Thanks for your comment, TC. It is a short, sweet rebuttal to one stupid talking point, at least.
Ahhh "pithy".... "short pithy sound bites"...., let's trash that! And now!!! The News.... hahahahahaa what a freaking joke.. News? In 5 minutes or less? No wonder 'The DUBS' like the Faux News manure.. they eat it right up! Good Shot JennSH.....KABLAMMO.
Good shot there TC. Meat for SNL. Plus the simple fact that we have been a "Net" producer.., producing MORE than we can use (EX-PORTER!! of our own oil) So, if that's so...and it is, why is OUR price of oil /gasoline so high? Profit for the oil CEO's by sticking it to the World?? Help me understand this.... somebody please. Rock on TC!
It's explained in "Price Wars" by Rupert Russell,,, a fascinating expose of how ruthless speculators in the Commodities Market have a stranglehold on our world.

People were protesting the lack of jobs at that time.
Yes, they were, but most of or the only jobs that would have been created would have been temporary construction jobs.
Yes, and there was a ton of complaining about the loss of these temporary jobs.
... this, in the most stable economy in the wealthiest of all nations ...?
👍🙄👌🙄👍
Thankfully the point turned out to be moot.

PROFIT for CEOs
Price-gouging that should be against the law but isn’t.
If I am not mistaken the crude that would be shipped was super volatile so very dangerous to the communities it passed.
Exactly!
