President Biden blocked the Keystone pipeline from Canada to the U.S., ostensibly due to environmental concerns and claims about global warming, even though the long planned project had cleared all environmental hurdles.
Yet the Biden State department just effectively approved an energy pipeline from Russia to Germany.
According to the Wall Street Journal:
The State Department in a report to Congress didn’t name new companies as targets for sanctions related to an $11 billion pipeline designed to transmit Russian natural gas to Germany, allowing work on the pipeline to continue unabated for now.
Some Republican lawmakers criticized the State Department over the Nord Stream 2 report, which was required by Congress, and both Republicans and a key Democrat requested an explanation of the administration’s position.
Count that as a win for pipelines — for others, just not us. The rest of the press is focusing on Biden making his “decisions,” but with this news, the direction of this administration is clear.
It is clear that jobs in Europe and Russia are more important to Biden than jobs in the United States. Energy from fossil fuels is also OK in Europe, just not here.
