It's kind of sad that conservatives are leaping to the defence of Vladmir fucking Putin just because they think they can use it to score some political points on Joe Biden.

I *worked* on Keystone XL. Helped design part of it. News flash, corky - it getting cancelled has NOTHING to do with why you are currently seeing gas prices. In fact, if you think you can fit the reason for high gas prices into a single sentence or even a single paragraph, you're wrong (or have terrible grammar).

Keystone XL wasn't coming online for years, even if construction wasn't cancelled. It takes a long time to build a pipeline that size, get all the land easements, conduct the environmental and geological surveys, put in the electrical work for the valve sights, pump stations, and CP systems, etc.. TC wasn't even expecting Keystone XL online until the middle of the decade.

If oil prices going up is because of Biden, how come the current upward trend dates back to April of 2020, seven months before he got elected and almost a full year before he took office? Biden's policies (and Trump's, for that matter) are not the reason that the price of oil went up.
It wasn't Keystone that caused prices to skyrocket, it was the executive order to halt domestic production. When Biden came in they were in such a clamor to undo everything Trump had done they didn't give a second thought to the negative consequences it would have.
