Gateway Pundit: 14 state attorneys general warned Joe Biden they are reviewing legal options over his decision to cancel the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.
Joe Biden’s first order of business was to kill tens of thousands of jobs.
Biden signed an executive order canceling the Keystone XL pipeline that runs from Alberta, Canada through several states.
Tens of thousands of oil workers lost their jobs, local towns are suffering and states stand to lose hundreds of millions of dollars in annual tax revenue.
Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen led the coalition of state AGs and sent a letter to Joe Biden warning him Americans will suffer “serious, detrimental consequences.”
“Please be aware that the states are reviewing available legal options to protect our residents and sovereign interests. In the meantime, we urge you to reconsider your decision to impose crippling economic injuries on states, communities, families, and workers across the country,” Knudsen and the attorneys general wrote in the letter.
“Your decision will result in devastating damage to many of our states and local communities. Even those states outside the path of the Keystone XL pipeline—indeed all Americans—will suffer serious, detrimental consequences,” they wrote. read more
So this is a show of force and power that will determine who actually has it.
Be interesting to see how it plays out, and who backs down and who doesn’t.
There’s already an existing pipeline so why are gas prices going up?
Or what? A tersely worded letter?
You heard Climate Czar Kerry. They chose their vocation poorly.
…”reviewing their options”…
…whenever President Trump did an EO, there was always a Federal Judge to block it at the request of multiple DAs THAT DAY, no “reviewing” needed…and the few that DID get through were simply ignored…
…”Reviewing their options” = “how do we blame Trump and still support our Democrat masters in a way that our MSM propagandists can best spin”…
The logic from these prog idiots never fails to amaze me. Lets move the same oil (we are going to use anyway) on choo-choo trains instead of a pipeline that’s been in the works for years. Lets also shut off out own supply That,again, (We.Are.Going.To.Use.Anyway.) and buy it from overseas delivered in slow clunker boats that drink the diesel fuel… All the while driving costs up and killing local jobs. But hey, at least trump is off twitter. *Sigh*

Because markets are already figuring out that Shaky Joe is going to be worse than FDR.
But unity!
It’s inevitable that Bidet won’t read it or read and ignore it.
So what are the next steps for Montana and the other states?
They had better have a plan.
Biden prefers to pander to parasites. So what if a hundred thousand patriotic, hard working Americans lose their jobs?
Ironically the XL Pipeline would have helped the town in the middle that drunkard Springsteen just Jeeped through last Sunday…
The funny thing about this warning to Biden – it shows the AG’s think Biden (or rather the powers behind him) will change his mind. No way. His mind is made up and won’t change. Unfortunately, this won’t amount to anything. The prog’s are using this to hurt people and further their agenda, so they won’t back down.
I’m thinking this administration WANTS to punish Trump voters. There’s no way they will reconsider . . . unless they propose finding new jobs for these workers building detention camps for “domestic terrorists.”
Is Bruce Springsteen’s fake-patina Jeep electric powered?
What I’ve enjoyed about this whole episode was Kerry claiming that “the market” put the Keystine workers out of business and not 1 of Biden’s 52 Executive Orders.
And if you say that his Executive Order sent you to the unemployment role that you’re trafficking in “false narratives” and propaganda.
Who needs cheap, affordable energy when this administration has a Strategic Gaslighting Reserve in abundance.
Why not just start building it again. What are they going to do? They are trying to impeach a private citizen so they don’t follow laws so why should we anymore?
Biden is an empty shell. He is not in charge. He just signs what he’s told to sign. Need to go after his handlers.
@Anonymous
Flow Rate. You can increase pressure to increase capacity but it erodes the pipe faster and increases leak rate etc. There are very strict limits imposed. etc.
Think of Keystone XL as Turdeau’s cock stretched asshole spewing stupidity at a very high rate.
Now compare that to Democrat Needle Dick soy boys hunting & sniffing for under aged victims.
Sorry for the visuals
@ Tony R
Bruce’s vehicles are run on Corn Ethanol, Scotland Peat, and malted Barley.
@ Kevin R.
Also carbon taxes at the source. Turdeau has implemented them already. It has effected prices by $0.08 (8 cents a litre) or 32 cents a gallon up here. They are tacked on at the Source and along the chain.
This won’t accomplish anything. What would be amusing is to ask Joe on camera if he knew who wrote that EO. Love to see his face if he got asked that.
He will just sit in the oval office “Biden” his time. See what I did there?
