Biden’s Keystone Cancellation to Cost Taxpayers Billions?

Joe Biden canceled the Keystone XL pipeline and now taxpayers could be on the hook to a Canadian firm for billions.

According to Town Hall:

On Friday, the company behind the project filed a Notice of Intent with the State Department, Office of the Legal Adviser, “to initiate a legacy North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) claim under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement to recover economic damages resulting from the revocation of the Keystone XL Project’s Presidential Permit.”

TC Energy is seeking over $15 billion due to the U.S. government’s “breach of its NAFTA obligations.”

In pulling the order, Biden said that “leaving the Keystone XL pipeline permit in place would not be consistent with my Administration’s economic and climate imperatives.”

According to Keystone XL, the construction project would have directly created more than 10,000 U.S. “high-quality jobs and local contracting opportunities.” A State Department study referenced by Fox News put the number even higher at 26,100 jobs with the inclusion of indirect jobs.

The administration has also been sued by a coalition of 21 states who argue that Biden could not unilaterally change policy set by Congress because he lacked authority.

Where in the world is this lack of continuity of leadership taking us? Would be better to prohibit Executive Orders than to have this yo yo-ing around?

The Keystone XL pipeline would have been far less polluting than all the other alternatives for purchasing and refining the oil from Canada. We must have a genius in the White House. In his first 100 days he has made America go from Energy Dependence (Exporting Oil) to Energy Dependence (Importing Oil). I don’t think voters could even envision such a tremendous feat; let alone gasoline @ $5 to $10/ gallon!

In all fairness, our Imbecile-in-Chief didn’t cancel the pipeline. He cannot remember how to tie his shoes. A fleet of handlers funded by an international billionaire cabal did it. Forget about blaming anything on the current executive branch. Trace the benefits to the beneficiaries to find the cause. For example Buffett is raking billions now that the pipeline has been canceled. It’s the same story whenever democrats seize power.
