Donald Trump has said that on the first day of his second term, he wants to “frack, frack, frack, and drill, drill, drill.” He needs to keep that promise – as well as reopen construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline, which the Biden administration blocked, just as the Obama White House did before Trump reversed the policy in 2017.
“Put us to work right now,” a laid-off worker who had been building the pipeline when it was shut down said earlier this year. “And you will see not only the fuel prices go down, but you will see the price of everything else go down with it.”
Showing that everyday Americans are more sensible about energy matters than at least half of our political ruling class, another worker said “we should be able to sustain ourselves and not depend on other nations raising their price and then affect us. That shouldn’t even be in the question.”
Those comments were made in March. November changed their outlook.
“It’s a breath of fresh air. We’re running on cloud nine,” said another former Keystone Pipeline worker.
“It will make a big difference as far as your energy cost, your food cost, your gas that you put in your cars. It is actually going to be the primary start of bringing everything … down for the American people that we have suffered so much in the last administration.”
