Pipeline workers who had secured jobs on the Keystone XL project before President Biden revoked its federal permits said they are still struggling to recover two years later.
The workers told Fox News Digital that they and their fellow workers lost their jobs on the pipeline after Biden’s decision nearly two years ago in January 2021 and have since struggled to make ends meet. Immediately after taking office, Biden signed an executive order effectively shutting the project down despite the thousands of jobs it was expected to create and arguing the U.S. “must prioritize the development of a clean energy economy.”
“I was going to be on the Keystone XL project, but none of those jobs went. It got canceled, so I didn’t see any of that work,” Suzanne Walker, a pipeline welder who was hired to work the pipeline in North Dakota until Biden canceled its permits, told Fox News Digital. “That was a job down the drain and there really hasn’t been much since.” […]
Overall, the pipeline would have created between 16,149 and 59,468 construction jobs that would have lasted roughly two years and would have had a positive economic impact of between $3.4-9.6 billion, according to a congressionally-mandated report issued by the Department of Energy in December.
And the project’s labor agreement signed in August 2020 promised the pipeline would create 42,000 American jobs and provide $2 billion in total wages. […]

Biden and his damn Green thing. No one can alter the climate.
I still dont understand how if you have a contract the president can just throw it in the garbage.
The NIMBYs and antis with their horrid politicians stopped it.
If you are this stupid, I do not feel sorry for you....
Just another reason that Josef Stolen is the worst President in the history of the US.
I saw that, does it say that THEY voted for him, or is it just that they didn’t think he would do it, despite his rhetoric?
Since the cancellation of the Keystone Pipeline I have noticed a huge increase in the number of brand new oil transport cars moving along the KCS_Canadian Pacific railroad near my house.
Some of Biden’s cronies are making BIG BUCKS off of shipping Canadian oil South to Texas.

Probably Warren Buffet’s railroad.
This is what your leaders think of you, Die Whitey.
My thinking, as well.
Yeh, rubbing oil in the wound.
I’m sure all those folks will thank their local democrats when they see em on the street.
Another brain dead FR puritan. Fox has never supported Biden.........
IN fact, they've been crucifying him since he first announced he would run for office.......Sheesh!
As a post script, what network was daily attacking the Mueller investigation? No one in the MSM other than Fox.
What network was all over the Seth Rich murder and the alleged Russian hacking? No one in the MSM other than Fox.
What network was all over the Hunter Buden laptop scandal since it first surfaced? No one in the MSM other than Fox.....
And the list goes on......I don't know how much stupidity I can take on this site anymore........
Looks like the President may be dealing with a little Psoriasis ...
Your memory does not seem to stretch too far back beyond November of 2020, even if that far back; a little thing called the “decision desk” really should jog your memory. Also, your instant hurling of a personal attack eliminates your credibility. Not to mention, one particular commentator who has not been entirely consistent in spite of his positives does not all of Faux News make.
