How does cancelling the Keystone Pipeline, help Americans?
I've been looking for the answer to that question.
So far, no joy.
It was something Biden did on his very first day in office.
Cancelling the Keystone pipeline was catering to the far left radical agenda which is all about power over the working class. The strings that control this cancellation of the keystone shows how China Joe is under that control.
This is only the beginning...Others like stopping deporting illegal criminals and allowing boys to compete in women sports are just two more examples.
It doesn't. I live in Nebraska, used to live in North Dakota. Some folks are upset because it goes right through our state, and supposedly it's a risk to the Ogallala aquifer. I don't see it. I can't imagine how it's more of a risk than any other pipeline, or the rail cars that will transport it instead. But then, it doesn't benefit Democrats financially the way the rail system does.
Has it ever occurred to you that there is opposition to Keystone in Canada, as well? Do you understand that the Pipeline proposal involves another sovereign country, with its own environmental and land interests?

Have you ever heard of Native Americans? You know, those indigenous people who inhabited America before the white dudes showed up and slaughtered and enslaved them?
They have a religion and sacred grounds. Ever heard of sacred grounds?
Watch gas prices go up as we will again be depended on a foreign supply...our governor has already proposed a 18 cents hike in the gas tax.

We know Joe Biden wants to end fracking not only because his campaign literature promised to achieve “a 100 percent clean energy economy and net-zero emissions†in a few decades but because he explicitly asserted as much on numerous occasions. When CNN’s Dana Bash asked Biden during a Democratic primary debate: “Would there be any place for fossil fuels including coal and fracking in a Biden administration?†Biden responded, “No, we would we would work it out. We would make sure it’s eliminated.†When Bernie Sanders said, “I’m talking about stopping fracking, as soon as we possibly can,†Biden replied, “No more, no new fracking.â€
In an exchange in New Hampshire during the primary, a voter asked the then-presidential candidate: “But like, what about, say, stopping fracking?†Biden answered: “Yes.â€

Of course there is some opposition to everything on this planet.
In fact there is an organization called CAVE. Citizens Against Virtually Everything.

The only "sacred grounds" that matter to Republicans are those of the Southern Baptist Church. Since native religion is a "false religion", conservatives actually believe they are doing good when they destroy those lands.

Indians were slaughtering and enslaving their own long before those white dudes showed up.

Slavery among Native Americans in the United States includes slavery by and slavery of Native Americans roughly within what is currently the United States of America. Tribal territories and the slave trade ranged over present-day borders. Some Native American tribes held war captives as slaves prior to and during European colonization. Some Native Americans were captured and sold by others into slavery to Europeans, while others were captured and sold by Europeans themselves. In the late 18th and 19th centuries, a small number of tribes adopted the practice of holding slaves as chattel property, holding increasing numbers of African-American slaves.
European influence greatly changed slavery used by Native Americans, as pre-contact forms of slavery were generally distinct from the form of chattel slavery developed by Europeans in North America during the colonial period. As they raided other tribes to capture slaves for sales to Europeans, they fell into destructive wars among themselves, and against Europeans.

Biden is there to launder policy for the DNC power players and the radical elements they want for votes.
Exactly. This is what Keystone advocates seem to forget. The plan involves not only significant threat to drinking water sources and fragile ecosystems, but also to land to which First Nations/Indigenous peoples have treat-guaranteed rights in both the US AND Canada.
Oh please, stop. The tribes here are only upset because they couldn't shake down the pipeline company. The most direct route was through a reservation-the tribes and the pipeline were in negotiations. They tribes decided to try to extort more money from the pipeline company than than was fair, so they picked up their toys, took the offer off the table, and rerouted the pipeline. Only after the new route was selected did the tribes decide that those were "sacred grounds". They really should claim Joe Biden's family home is on sacred ground, it's as valid an argument. Idiotic to pander to them.

A lot of the Europeans that had showed up (looking for a better life, lol) were slaughtered. It was a harsh and brutal time, people need to stop romanticizing that time period.

Sure, right, uh huh. That's why they left tons of trash behind after protesting the pipeline in 2017. Trash that fouled the land and water. Some had even abandoned their pets and left them behind.
