Day One....
Right now 53% of all ongoing and planned energy projects involve renewables. The region in which I live was at one time was a fairly major coal and nat gas producer. Today are there any new strip mine permits applied for? No. Any new coal fired power plants being permitted? No At least not in my area. Any new gas drilling permits or permits requested to draw water from the rivers to use in fracking ? None that I've seen recently...... However there are currently permits under review for 3 new power plants to be constructed nearby . All 3 are solar plants. And no question, all major car manufacturers are headed full speed toward EV's . And Canadian tar sand oil is dirty and expensive to clean it up enough to be able to use it.

The break of fossil fuels is going to be a long dirty battle.

Ok so let's see your rebuttal. And those 8000 Keystone XL construction jobs are only going to be active until the job is finished leaving about 40 to manage and monitor the pipeline. And if Biden can get an infrastructure bill through Congress simply repairing the roads bridges, water systems and airports will employ those 8000 and many more.

Construction jobs are, by their very nature, temporary. This was a years-long project that would provided income for 8,000 workers and their families.

better get to work on a damn infrastructure bill ASAP

Maybe he should have tried to get something through Congress so that it became a law instead of just signing an executive order for the Keystone XL. I thought he was supposed to be the great deal maker? Something about an art of the deal. Oh well.

Make sure it includes alternate plans for the hundreds of millions of dollars worth of pipe that has already been purchased and is setting along the route of the pipeline.

The Gulf Coast Refineries also lost the jobs more oil would have produced.

Obama killed the pipeline because Sorros was in charge of building all the railroad tanker cars.
So what's Biden's excuse ?

So it's Trump's fault that Biden killed all these jobs. So much TDS.
