It’s barely been one day and Joe Biden is already destroying American energy jobs by blocking the Keystone XL pipeline.
With the stroke of a pen, Biden has put 11,000 jobs and over $1.6 billion in wages on the chopping block. The kicker, the pipeline’s developer has pledged that the project would have zero carbon emissions.
Indeed, union leaders are already calling out Biden for the loss of good-paying unions jobs…
Mark McManus, General President of the United Association of Union Plumbers and Pipefitters : “In revoking this permit, the Biden Administration has chosen to listen to the voices of fringe activists instead of union members and the American consumer on Day 1. Let me be very clear: When built with union labor by the men and women of the United Association, pipelines like Keystone XL remain the safest and most efficient modes of energy transportation in the world. Sadly, the Biden Administration has now put thousands of union workers out of work. For the average American family, it means energy costs will go up and communities will no longer see the local investments that come with pipeline construction”
Abandoning unions, raising energy prices, and destroying thousands of American jobs…and it’s only day one of Biden’s climate agenda.
