Dem Senator Blasts Biden Decision to Cancel Keystone XL

Montana’s Democrat Senator Jon Tester is not on board with President Biden’s decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline. The Democrat argued that the project would not make climate change notably worse and could have continued. Senator Tester has previously stated his support for the project and the jobs it created as long as it was constructed with safety measures in place and respected local property rights.

Fox News reports:

“In the end, I think it’s a good project,” Tester said during an appearance on CNN. “I believe in climate change, but I also think this one pipeline isn’t going to turn it around, isn’t going to turn our climate around and it’s not going to make it a markedly worse situation.”

Former President Donald Trump championed the Keystone oil pipeline, which was designed to carry about 800,000 barrels of oil per day from Canada to the Texas Gulf Coast. Critics argued the project presented major environmental risks and would run contrary to international efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

Tester has acknowledged that he supports efforts to combat climate change despite his support for the pipeline.

“I still don’t know why this is the tip of the spear,” Tester said last month during a call with residents of Helena, Montana, according to the Independent Record. “There are hundreds if not thousands of pipelines that run across that border and why this is the one people are fired up about, I don’t know.”

President Biden revoked the Keystone XL permit by executive order his first day in office, effectively destroying 11,000 American jobs with the stroke of a pen. The move garnered immediate reactions from the GOP and construction workers across the country.

    1. The GOP only unite as RINOS !!! How else would the LEFT be the majority of both Houses. That’s how they become career politicians. It’s too lucrative to give up which is why we’ll never see Term Limits. And why the Constitution is on thin ice.

  1. E.O. Is NOT LAW! Does Not have the Backing of the House and Senate. Does NOT Have the Backing of Any STATE that this Pipeline would through! Go Back to STATES RIGHTS AND TELL BLOW JOE TO FUCCK HIMSELF!

      1. I disagree, but only because if something happens to Mr. Biden we will then have “Heels Up Harris” as president of the U.S. I cannot imagine a worse possible scenario than that.

          1. That’s right, it won’t take more than a year to cement it. After all, communism has been around longer than myself. The decent ones can be counted on one hand.

          1. 2022 will be an uphill battle with all these “globalists” shelling out big bucks. If the idiots who vote “my daddy was a Democrat”… would finally figure out Daddy’s Democrats weren’t the same as the “POWER MAD” braying jackazzes of today we might save America.

        1. I have been led to believe tha t Camala got her start in CA on her back with Brown and stepped up the ladder to prosecutor etc . Did she get picked by Biden or whoever selected her for VP because she does scum like liberals special favors … just asking ??

        2. I think Socialists/COMMUNISTS really HATE AMERICA & TRUE AMERICANS THAT THREATENS FREEDOM TO ACTUALLY LOVE THIER FELLOW MAN.

      2. ‘ O’bumf#€!<' or Big-Mike will be doing it to Joe, every frickking day of his third term in office…‼️

  2. Now the price of oil and gas goes up as we have to import from the Middle East! Way to go Joe. This has to be restored!

        1. I disagree on that one. George Soros is calling the shots. He has controlled the DNC and MSM for quite some time. Him and his globalist buddies are going for the world. Remember Hitler was a globalist and he went for the world too.

      1. Pray we keep Biden and his senility rather than Harris and her communism and hate for our country. How many times has she said the US is no good and never has been a good country. Makes one wonder WHY she came here and WHY she stayed here.

      2. it would have to be a long string of noses to take care of all those democrats in line to take over if something was to happen to him to get to somebody halfway decent

      1. The only way pissloosie will ever be gotten rid of is if she dies.
        The California nuts will keep voting her in no matter what that absurd old sack does to harm the country.

    1. That “someone” is no longer in the seat, thanks to the RINO ‘players’ who keep getting themselves re-elected instead of removed.

  3. Restore the XL Pipeline. Did anyone even consider the consequences of stopping the XL Pipeline? If you want to save the world then ground all private airplanes. Especially all the airplanes that the Politicians use. Then ground all gas guzzling buses. Stupid ideas? Not as stupid as stopping the XL pipeline.

    1. Come on folks, the pipeline went down the tubes BECAUSE it was a Trump victory — same as border wall and “unlimited” immigration. Old “me to” Biden (10% of everything from China) would just ‘love’ to find a way to discredit the COVID vaccine. I just hope the American people are becoming aware of the difference between “of, by and for the PEOPLE” and Joe’s slogan — “of, by and for ME”!

  4. See…Montana ! You should have never elected a democrat. Now, he can bloviate to his constituents how bad this cancellation was. The I tried, BS.
    Let’s see how many other items on Beijing Biden’s menu, that actually take a vote from him, go. Ha !

  5. Not any logic with shutting Keystone pipeline down. Environmental extremists say? If that is their point of view, What makes pipeline worse than oil cars being railed south, tankers moving oil across oceans or drilling off shores of US? All is nonsense when coupled with green energy which requires multiple facets of oil derivatives to make those solar/green new deals to work.
    We show focus on how much oil is used to make their green new deal viable then stop all oil or build pipeline since their green new deal creates another issue they hadn’t planned on. You know, it’s same with battery powered cars, they require derivatives of oil to produce from battery internal components, body, interior made from derivatives of oil, tires and they aren’t environmentally safe. Batteries can’t dispose of, rebuild or burn. Body parts aren’t recyclable with changing of body molds.
    This is all political or better said follow the money given it’s greed, power, control of the masses.

    1. Also, battery powered cars ar toxic metal waste. At least oil is organic man. Squished dianosaurs. Biodegradable carbon.

      1. Yea….let’s follow California and spend 8 billion dollars (TAXPAYERS MONEY) on environMENTAL causes….NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT. Oh wait! I am sure SOMEONE made money….

    2. Exactly….but I guess the 58m that Buffet gave to the Lieden campaign worked for him…btw…he owns some of the railroads along the pipeline.

  6. The problem is that Trump supported it. It doesn’t matter to Democrats if his choice had been correct. He did it, and that’s enough reason, to them, to cancel it.

    1. You just nailed it. None of this is logical. It’s just an effort to wipe out everything Trump did whether it’s beneficial to the country or not. It’s small and it’s mean. Destroy peoples’ lives to make a slap at Trump. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

      1. Next they are going to reverse the Arab Isreali peace agreements because Trump initiated it. Biden has already started moving troops into Syria.

        1. Jealous revenge never is a good thing, for anyone and it appears extremely childish for an “elected” official to try to “show” how he can erase all the GOOD that Trump did for American citizens.

  7. & using trucks & RR adds more Pollution vs pipeline, really stupid act alone on the Eco count
    Eco Dems are really stupid

    1. But if your Warren Buffet, this just made you Bizillions of $$$. Take a look at the holdings of BRK A and then wonder why he/They Have Backed OBAMA, KILLARY,AND SLOWJOE!
      If the States the Keystone Pipe line went through, told the Fed Government to SHOVEITUPTHERE ASS, And just BUILD IT! CLAME STATES RIGHTS! Let the Bastards Freeze, or Sweat there Ass’s off with No Heat or A.C.!

  8. Congress is taking America down to its knees and the American people are going be the ones that pay in the long run.. They demanding that people wear masks and close their Bussiness down and at the same time holding Stimulus money up with all their bickering and every other excuse they can dream up on purpose. democrats going full bore bringing in the NWO.

      1. Telsi Gabbard of HI, and can’t think of his name from W. Virginia, and a new one from MT who is coming out in favor of the Pipeline.

  9. President Trump had made us energy independent. Now we will have to rely in the middle east again. Not good. I doubt this is what the people would have wanted. All of this was pretty clear before the election. So anybody who voted for Joe can’t complain.

  10. Hope you all remember this in 2022. Be mindful of what you think your voting for. Democrats never fulfill promises unless it benefits them.

  11. Joe Biden is the biggest & worst disaster we will EVER experience in our life time!! As for Liz Cheney she is NO Conservative, neither have NO LOYALTY & NO SHAME!!!

    1. “Joe Biden is the biggest & worst disaster we will EVER experience in our life time” – NOPE! this is only the begining!! if this “election” is allowed to stand, it will only get worse, they are being enboldened; they repeated the trick with georgia’s senators!!!!

  12. John Tester is a “FIRST CLASS IDIOT.” He is also a LIAR! He fought President Trump at every step and stood with the Liberal Lefties on the Green New Deal and killing the U.S. Energy ventures. Don’t be fooled by this MORON. He is up for re-election in 2022 and he is now positioning himself for his upcoming run. How could the people of Montana in good conscience elect such a lying pathetic slug as John Tester as he supports more foreign supply on not just energy but agriculture, livestock, farming, and manufacturing. This guy is a complete sell-out. Wise up Montana and support America by making certain this P.O.S. does not get re-elected.

  13. It is quite interesting to hear about “climate change” when it is a known fact that the climate has been in the process of changing since the earth was created. In fact there was more CO2 in the atmosphere and the temperature of the earth was hotter 2,500 years before Christ walked the surface. One must notice that since the earth has not gotten hotter over the past 22 years that the goofballs had to switch to from global warming to climate change. Recently 2 studies, one in Japan and one in Norway totally debunked the theory that CO2 is the culprit. As it turns out the magnetic field of the earth has a serious effect on solar radiation which inturn causes variations in the cloud cover which inturn shields the earth from solar radiation. More clouds causes cooling and less clouds causes warming. The studies concluded that man made CO2 has almost no effect on temperature but it is helping by greening the earth and making crops more plentiful.

  14. We need the GOP to stand up and take the EO’s to court. They are not all legal and they certainly do not have the support of the USA citizens. It is way past time to FIGHT BACK. You make it look like both parties are mostly the same and NOT FOR AMERICA. FIGHT FOR US!!! AND FIGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY!!! This is not a business for you it is a pledge you made to us. You are all paid too handsomely so earn it.

  15. I can certainly understand the Dem senator’s anger at Biden’s decision to cancel Keystone XL! But, in fact, most people have had enough of Biden, for whatever their reasons!

  16. Let’s look at FACTS. Gas/oil will now be moved by truck from Canada to the se coast. FACT – Trucks are much worse for the environment – however, trucking will make Warren Buffet much richer so he can give much more to Biden and other elections. We also might lose our energy independence and have to again get oil/gas from countries that not only hate us but want to destroy us. Many, many times we heard that the middle east wars were fought over oil/gas. NOW we do not need them, do not need the wars and can hurt their economy. Joe wants to pull that all away, along with all the jobs. Still waiting for that long list of “solar panel” jobs that are being created. btw, those jobs are still in China so the workers would have to move to China and be retrained. Yeh, that’s not gonna happen.

  17. I believe that because of that decision that eliminated 11,000 jobs for Americans and his decisions to continually put foreigners and illegal aliens first before American citizens, he needs to be impeached. Might as well keep the trend going with Biden.

  18. THIS IS WHAT THE DEMS DO DESTROY EVERYTHING THAT IS DOING A GOOD JOB. PEOPLE HAD JOBS. THEY DON’T WANT THAT WITH THE PEOPLE . THEY WANT US BEGGING FOR JOBS WHILE THE SIT ON TOP OF MT. OLYMPUS . THIS IS HOW THE DEMS SEE THEMSELVES THEY HAND OUT FAVORS IF YOU BOW BEFORE THEIR STINKING FEET.

  19. What Tester should do is have a private chat with Joe and say I will switch to the Republican Party your choice Joe

  20. Of course you know Mr. Tester….its because Trump and the GOP support it. The hate and vitriol coming out of DC has got to stop before there is civil war.

  21. JOE B NEEDS TO GO HE IS A TRAITOR TO US AMERICAN HE SOLD US OUT TO CHINA AND NOW HE IS LETTING ALL THESE ILLEGALS IN OUR COUNTRY SO THEY CAN GET FREE MONEY WATCH OUT WORLD WAR 3 IS COMING NOW THAT HE IS IN OFFICE THIS IS FOR REAL THE END TIME ARE HERE

  22. Biden’s got 4 years to piss off Americans by sending us back to the abysmal Obama economy. Let him do it, let him go. He’s doing a tremendous job of making those who voted for him regret it as well as giving Tumpsters the right to chorus, “we told you so !” Biden will ensure Our President Donald J. Trump is re-elected all by himself. With Biden, we have a real Dotard at the helm, Kim Jong-un and Putin must be almost hyterical watching from afar ! We can survive Biden’s 4 years, after all we survived 8 of Obama. The shame is instead of improving from where we were in 11/2020, Trump will have to rebuild it from the pit of despair he’ll inherit from Biden, it may even be worse than what Obama had left to bequeath on 01/20/2017. To borrow an advertising phrase, ” You asked for it, you got it, Toyota.” Fools !!!!

    1. The biggest problem is the rigged voting machines. Yes, there are idiots, who voted for him, but certainly not the majority. 25 people at his “rallies” was a big number!

      1. Where were the GOP poll watchers. There should’ve been at least one from each state. They allowed themselves to be evicted from the site. COWARDS.

      1. biden did not steal the election. He is not bright enough to do that! The dem party did it for him. He is just a spud head being used by the leftists.

  23. This admin is straight racist …They are the definition of arrogant, mean and hateful…Explain why we can’t keep going on the pipe line and start the solar power, tidal power and electric cars…The oil keeps us independent of the cartels….Sell the extra gas and oil to other country’s…While we are doing that we do the other and transition to more solar-powered endeavor’s …Biden wants us entirely beholding to the government …The cancel culture is here…If they can do this to our former sitting President they can do it to you and me….If they can give you everything you need they can take all you have…

  24. Please tell me why Gasoline prices went up 10% within 48 hours of Biden signing the stop pipeline order. The pipeline will be a long way away yet of being functional. The fuel delivery system to refineries is the same now as it has been for years. Tell me this is not collusion and price fixing by the Oil Companies. Tell me this isn’t price gouging and opportunism by the Oil Companies. Tell me this is not just another opportunity for the Oil Companies to screw the public. Tell me what our State Government is going to do to stop it. Tell me what the Federal Government is going to do to stop it.
    Yeah, right. Call your Congressman!

  25. Did all Dimocrats not hear Slo-Joe make a promise to destroy Keystone??? Did they just not believe him, because he is so “out to lunch”???

  26. I hope out there are still some intelligent Democrat’s out there that believe everything Biden is doing is garbage & will ruin our country, let me know !!!!!! Patriot !!!!

  27. Well let’s see that’s one that disagrees with the left! Little by little Biden will be the devil dog and so will the swamp!! Just be patient everybody! This will happen….Washington will have an earth.quake
    And they will all dissolve into hell! What goes around comes around! God knows!!

  28. Of course its a mistake, what thinking human being would come into office and destroy jobs as their mission and try to dove-tail that stupidity with making us not energy independent? Joe Biden or whoever he has sticking the executive orders in front of this empty vessel to sign it.

  29. Totally surplrised that Canada does not reciprocate for this egregious action by the Biden administrtion. Just think if Trump had done this, Trudeau would be screaming to high heaven, reciprocating with all kinds of tariffs and whatever else he could think of .

  30. Typical liberal democrat and rino. Say one thing too late, then vote later with the radical left wing leadership.

  31. We can effect the outcome of shutting down the loss of your job (us economy) we need a only a few D senators. burn down their phone lines ,e mails. Jon Tester Mt. Joe Manchin wva. Kyrsten Sinema Az. These have expressed opposition to shutting the xl pipeline. if you know others say so. assume all R senators are on board. Maybe not Romney,collins ,
    sass,alaska sen ?call them all

    1. They just do it when they want expect more to come . Now the want us to pay for their protection 24/7 ,that was what police were for oh right they defunded them now criminals run Democratic cities maybe even states.

  32. Why don’t the environmentalists and green energy experts, want us to know about all the greenhouse gasses, they add by manufacturing the: solar panels, battery storage, and wind turbine systems?

    …How many more tons of ore, are being mined and processed, to create the electric components?

    Why don’t the environmentalists show all the “pictures” from: lithium mines, remediation, battery recycling, and the ecosystem damage; caused by creation of the wind and solar energy systems and EV’s?

    It doesn’t seem to be so clean and green, when you look at the big picture!

  33. Joe Biden doesn’t care about what is “good for the country”. He is all about revenge and getting even. He thinks by canceling the Keystone Pipeline he is hurting Donald Trump.

    He is so stupid he doesn’t even realize he is hurting the country. Even worse, HE DOESN’T CARE.

  34. Weall meets see what happens after Canada Sues Sleepy Joe into oblivion for cancelling a contract that the United States legally entered

  35. The current Admin is a CANCER to our country & the demise of our economy. America has been on a path for energy independence and the political B.S of biological warfare was used to destroy our economy that was thriving all to blame 1 person they could not control nor payoff , These executive orders in the 1st week is just the beginning stages of the spread of their socialist communist agenda ,Buckle up its going to get worse before it ever gets better, The high cost of living is coming ,Just sit back & watch how this demented incompetent ignoramus allows himself to be controlled like a communist puppet..

  36. Bringing oil tankers across the ocean is WORSE then using this pipeline!! Dumping bilge into the ocean and making huge oil slicks that kill the oceans creatures is worse!! Stupid demo-rats! Oh and a tanker never created a huge oil slick right??

  37. As far as environment concern,I’m sure the trains carrying the product are more poluting that a pipe.They are certainly more susceptible to pollution if they have a wreck, plus they use diesel for electric generation to run. But who ,important has investments in the trains, besides the Millionaire?

  38. Cancelling this pipeline does nothing for climate change. Nothing. We still use the same amount of oil. It will continue to be brought in by BNSF railroad cars which is more polluting and not as safe. Did I mention BNSF railroad is owned by Warren Buffett who has given millions to Democrats and Dem causes?

  39. All of these Executive Orders have NOTHING with Guiding this Country into the Future, they are the reactions of a Spiteful Child who wishes to eradicate all of the Advances made by President Trump. The initial Job Loss from Killing the Keystone/XL Pipeline was 10,000 Union Jobs and it does Nothing to Stop the Pollution of the environment caused by Oil and Gas. All it does is Kill American Union Jobs. We will now be forced to move this oil by rail and truck. The use of these modes of transportation poses a Higher Risk of Pollution in the event of a train derailment or a highway accident. As for the halt of Fracking on Federal Lands, this to will Kill More American Jobs, most of which I suspect are Union Jobs. I hate to see anyone lose their job, but I must admit I take just a bit of pleasure knowing that the Unions that supported Biden are the First to feel his True Gratitude.

  40. keystone is a clean very safe operation, there should have been some checks and balances before making such a swift decision. shame shame on Biden, he is a dummy

  41. I hope he’s one Democratic senator that doesn’t vote to impeach former president Trump. What Joe Biden did to his state by deystoring 11000 jobs one day. The climate change is nothing but bullshit.

  42. THANK YOU JON TESTER ——— YO HAVE A BRAIN IN YOUR HEAD. THAT PIPELINE WAS FULL OF JOBS FOR ALOT OF PEOPLE WHAT THE DEMS DID WAS SO WRONG ITWILL SINK THE ECONOMY AND GET DESTROYED AND I BELIEVE THAT IS WHAT BIDEN WANTS TO DESTROY ALL OF US. AND WITH OBAMA HIDING IN THE WINGS WITH CHINA. ——-WHAT THE DEMS ARE DOING WILL ONLY SINK THEM AND OUR COUNTRY. EITHR WE USE THE 25TH ON HIM AND IMPEACH HER AND RE-INSTATE TRUMP BECASUE OF THE STEALING OF THE ELECTIONS IS THE ONLY WAY THAT I CAN SEE TO FIX THESE MESS THAT THEY HAVE BROUGHT ON TO THEMSELVES AND US AND THEN WE HAVE CHINA WAITING IN THE WINGS TO JUMP US , I GET THE FEELING ALONG WITH E GLOBALIST- WE ARE IN A VERY TIGHT NARROW MESS .. SOMETHING HAS GOT TO GIVE.

  43. Your all wrong! Once Trump ok’d the Keystone, Europe started building oil tanker terminals along their coast to accept US oil & LNG Mega tankers, Vlad got mad, as he has been able to close the gas spigot on EU countries for political reasons, once Biden got in, Vlad once again is working like crazy to push oil and gas pipe lines under the Black sea to Europe. To those that are wondering why on earth would the Russians gave Biden & son Millions of dollars? what has Biden sold them? Now you know!
    The dems tried for two years to Impeach Trump on collusion with the Russians and quid pro quo? So who was really doing the collusion and quid quo pro? Wake up America.

  44. Why would anyone in either party agree with anything Biden has done? He’s operating like a king. He thought the Inauguration was a Coronation There s going t be a lot of buyers remorse by the time Joe runs out of executive orders. But why did anyone believe him in the first place? He has been the biggest liar in congress for forty five years.

  45. Joe Biden is not physically capable of handling his position as president. He is not only weak, but also is gradually losing his mental capacity to make decisions. He has no background in business, and was a professional politician all his adult life. Any person who plans to run for political office (president, governor, mayor, etc.) needs to have had business experience in order to be able to handle statistics as well as the financial side of managing a business in order to make decisions and maintain control over the nation’s or state’s economy. One of the things I’ve been noticing about Biden is that when he began campaigning, he often changed his responses to questions he was asked regarding various issues such as illegal aliens, the Keystone Pipeline, abortion, and a number of other issues. There were several issues that he kept changing his opinion on, and I’m not sure if it’s because he was trying to kiss up to the voters or if he REALLY couldn’t remember what he had said previously about the same topic. I’ve also noticed that he can speak almost knowledgably AS LONG AS HE’S READING FROM A TELEPROMPTER. But without it, he is lost and avoids answering spontaneous questions from the media or his supporters. It would not surprise me if he will need to step down from his presidency within the next two years. I have worked in nursing homes with patients who suffered from Alzheimer’s disease and senile dementia, and how quickly their conditions progress often depends on the care they receive as well as the interactions they have with others. I also believe that Joe Biden should not have been kept in isolation in his basement for the better part of the year preceding the election. He should have been allowed to leave his home more frequently and be able to interact with friends and family members in order to maintain his mental acuity as long as possible. Although I did not support or vote for Mr. Biden in the 2020 election, yet I feel somewhat sorry for him having this medical condition. There will come a day when he may not recognize even his family members. This is the saddest part about having this disease.

  46. Perhaps the person who owns the railway/delivery system that currently transports the oil contributes to the DNC. Follow the money.

  47. SLEEPY JOE HAS DONE MORE TO FUCK UP THE ECONOMY IN 10 DAYS THAN ALL THE BAD LAWS IN THE LAST 200 YEARS. THE ECONOMY WILL NOT RECOVER IN THE NEXT 10 YEÁRS. JOE BLOW HAS CAUSED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF LOST JOBS AND DEVESTADED HUNDRESDS OF THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES. BIDEN AND KERRY SHOULD RETIRE NOW WITH OUT A SALARY, PENSION, 0R SECRET SERVICE PROTECTION.

  48. Ok. So why doesn’t he write a bill to retain the pipeline and get it passed with enough votes to override a veto? That, after all, is how you reign in an abusive president, isn’t it?

  49. Cancelling the Keystone has nothing to do with the climate change hoax. The bottom line is that it was approved by Donald John Trump. Dopey Joe, or rather his puppet master is attempting to dissolve and/or terminate everything done by the best ever president. What Trump did was for our country and We the People but the sewer rats behind Biden don’t want us to enjoy life; they want us to be subservient to the lust for power.
