Remember all the protests over the Keystone XL oil pipeline? Biden shut it down on his first day, firing thousands of workers by the way in the process. Nobody in the media complained about those firings.
Let's look deeper. Keystone already has a bit of pipeline active. The "XL" was phase four, and would take a 'short cut' from one part of the existing line to another. See the picture above. That's all. But oh! All that pristine land that would get torn up. Oh the agony!
The dark side that the media never reported on is that when Biden passed his "Inflation Reduction Act" it had all the trappings of the Green New Deal wrapped up in it. And what was part of that deal? CO2 pipelines instead. And not just a few. A whole slew of brand new pipelines crisscrossing all that pristine land, and cutting straight through farms, effectively ruining the farmer's access to some of their land.
Look at that. One of those lines almost mirrors the path of the Keystone XL. Imagine that. Let us not ignore the fact that CO2 capture pipelines are potentially much more dangerous than oil pipelines.
"SATARTIA, Miss. – On Feb. 22, 2020, a clear Saturday after weeks of rain, Deemmeris Debra'e Burns, his brother and cousin decided to go fishing. They were headed home in a red Cadillac when they heard a boom and saw a big white cloud shooting into the evening sky. Burns' first thought was a pipeline explosion. He didn't know what was filling the air, but he called his mom, Thelma Brown, to warn her to get inside. He told her he was coming.
"Little did she know, her sons and nephew were just down the road in the Cadillac, unconscious, victims of a mass poisoning from a carbon dioxide pipeline rupture. As the carbon dioxide moved through the rural community, more than 200 people evacuated and at least 45 people were hospitalized. Cars stopped working, hobbling emergency response. People lay on the ground, shaking and unable to breathe. First responders didn't know what was going on. "It looked like you were going through the zombie apocalypse," says Jack Willingham, emergency director for Yazoo County."
The U.S. is expanding CO2 pipelines. One poisoned town wants you to know its story
I had an earlier article that included a video about the epic fails of these pipelines..
- President Donald Trump announced his support for reviving the Keystone XL pipeline, which was halted by the Biden administration.
- The pipeline would transport 830,000 barrels of crude oil from Alberta, Canada, to U.S. Refineries daily.
- White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Trump plans to contact the company responsible for the pipeline, TC Energy, to discuss its revival.
- Experts suggest that legal challenges may arise if Trump proceeds with the pipeline's construction, but Congress could assist in limiting lawsuits.
