Multiple States Move to Force Pipeline Down Biden, Democrats' Throats

The Keystone XL Pipeline project - and the jobs that come with it - may still be alive if the attorneys general of nearly half of America's states have anything to say about it.

"Several exhaustive studies undertaken by the Obama State Department concluded the Keystone XL pipeline would boost the U.S economy, create American jobs, and safely transport oil throughout the country without increasing greenhouse gas emissions," read a news release from Knudsen's office announcing the move.

"The Constitution is clear that presidents do not have the power to regulate foreign and interstate commerce or to unilaterally undo an act of Congress. We will continue to fight to this federal overreach - along with the 22 other states - so that Montanans can benefit from the jobs, tax revenue, and enhanced energy independence the Keystone XL will bring to our communities."

The Biden administration's line is that everyone whose job gets axed because of cuts such as eliminating the Keystone XL pipeline project will find new employment in renewable energy.

"Wind turbine jobs are projected to go up by 4,300, from 7,000 to 11,300 in 10 years. The solar installer jobs are projected to go up 6,100, from 12,000 to 18,100. That's a total increase of just 10,400 jobs - leaving 20,000 coal workers still toiling in the mines."

The Keystone XL Pipeline has passed rigorous environmental checks, provides one of the most efficient ways for carbon energy to move over great distances and creates good-paying jobs for Americans.

Biden has created only one energy job that I know of: that of the absurd special presidential envoy for climate, filled by the equally absurd John Kerry.
