[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Biden killed the Keystone Pipeline on day 1, and went on a mission to further restrict energy development, to cheers from Democrats.  Then as prices went sky-high, he drained the petroleum reserve, and Democrats pretended to be happy about lower prices and that Biden wasn't restricting anything.

Trump came in and expanded development, leading to lower energy prices.  This will produce lower prices as these price drops kick in.[/quote]

Pathetic lies.

Fact 1. KXL wasn't about producing gasoline, it was for refining tar sands oil (bitumen/heavy crude) for export.  That kind of oil isn't used for producing gasoline, instead light sweet crude is, and KXL would have minimal impact on gas prices.

Fact 2.  Domestic oil production rose to an all time high under Biden, higher even than any of the four years of Trump's first term in office.

These are both provable documented facts.

Tell us, did you hear these lies from some source you trust?  If so, you need to ditch that source because it is spreading falsehoods.   Or, did you come here thinking you could spread your own lies, insult our intelligence, and not be caught and called out for it?  Because that obviously doesn't work for you, either.  Do better.[/quote]

Wake up. Keystone would have been operational starting in 2023 if Biden hadn’t nixed it, producing 830,000 barrels of crude per day.  Ending it also negatively impacted future oil market expectations.  He paused new oil and gas leases and impacted strict environmental controls all of which affected production and importantly, investment decisions.[/quote]

1) As the PP mentioned, Keystone was not about gasoline for cars, but rather a heavier fuel for export.
2) The US was for the first time in decades, and net energy exporter under Biden. IOW, we don't need that domestic production for ourselves and our ports and refineries are already operating at peak. In other words, having more pipelines will just cause a glut unless or until there is more capacity at the refineries and at our ports. Since the GOP routinely rejects funding for infrastructure, there is really no reason for these other pipelines.[/quote]
