Do you believe Biden's climate plans will create jobs or kill them?
Both, but not in a good way. Create jobs for China and destroy jobs in US. Oh wait, there will be the lower paying installer and maintenance jobs.
Man, what happened to the democratic party??? They used to stand up for middle class jobs and now they destroy them. If they really cared, they would be fighting for both fossil fuel (although they really are not fossil fuels) job AND green energy jobs. There is room in the market for both. Democrats don't care about the middle class. They have been taken over by left wing special interests. There is no other way to paint this.
Increases the risk! Once potable/irrigation water is unusable, neither is the land there. We take water for granted. You can't drink crude oil! Remember that.
Also, are those pipelines in your map, crude oil pipelines? Crude oil is extremely corrosive on pipes and causes a disasters rate of pipeline leaks.
That crude from Canada will be exported directly to other countries so what do we get out of this high risk?

I bet most liberals and liberal politicians have never spent much time in Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, St Louis, Buffalo. If they have then they would know how difficult it is for people and cities to recover from lost jobs and industries. Just like the rust belt, some will be able to move and find work elsewhere but when you kill an industry there will be negative long term consequences for people and the areas they live in.
Its silly to think you can find jobs and new career for all or even most of those displaced by the government banning their industry.
Those people aren't as stupid as Democratic politicians. They know that retraining means if you get a job, it will be 800 miles away, pay half as much and have no benefits.

The Democrat party is a poison that kills everything it touches.
And sticking our heads in the sand and not investing in R&D in this field is just going to be ceding the industry to China when we could have been market leaders.
The world is heading there, with or without us. Do we want America to be great in the future economy or a backwater holding on to the past? Guessing most opposed just don’t think they will be around long enough to matter.
Investment in science/technology is what “made America great” in the 50s.
