Stopped Keystone Pipeline Expansion

Ok, this is decent. But then we are still drilling and pumping oil and gas at record setting levels, more-so than any other nation on earth. Oil and Gas industry is still heavily subsidized, while subsidies and benefits for renewables have been taken away.

And to top it off, the absolute gimme of Joe Manchin’s Mountain Valley Pipeline through Appalachia.

So basically, as soon as he did the bare minimum with Keystone to pacify the vocal environmental activists on that project, he went right back to business as usual, and then goes beyond by rewarding Manchin with a new pipeline that violates every environmental safety standard imaginable in a mad rush to just “get it done”.

I’m going to have to chalk this up as a net negative for Genocide Joe.
