Because CNN realized people wanted the pipeline to profit for their business. But it still dont take away the fact that the pipeline was a disaster in the making. It wouldve contaminated 30% of Americans water, leaked a while lot and would be hard to clean up because the tar and sand in Canda oil. Animals would be endangered, we'd pay alot in reparations from tribal territory as the pipeline contaminated their land. It wouldve been a mess and a expensive mess

You would think some of the Native tribes would be interviewed. They are the one's who opposed the pipeline, but they had no voice about it being stopped.
They don't all oppose the pipelines. You only hear the radical one's that protest it. There are radical people in all nationalities. You only hear what the MSM want you to hear. Shutting down these pipelines hurt a lot of Native Americas and lost them jobs and money. No one is speaking for them. I'm married to a Native American. My son is documented Native American.

@Dirty Sanchez Bingo. That's why they weren't interviewed. Many of the tribes were completely in favor of it, investing in it, and looking forward to the royalties. A tiny, vocal minority of primarily white protestors came and threw a fit and pretended to speak on behalf of the tribes.
"added to climate change" Making oil easier to transport doesn't add to climate change. In fact, now lots of fuel will be spent transporting that oil via alternative routes.
@@kennyc388 One would be a fool to transport product that flows, like oil, natural gas or water by carrying on trucks or trains unless it is very short distance.

@@IMMORTLT3CHNIQ uh, no. These temp jobs would have lasted like thru this year. They can get PPP and unemployment money too. This pipeline is only 35 permanent American jobs.
Yup! This pipeline only gave jobs to construction and temp workers. Construction can be done ANYWHERE and is the easily one of the most liquid jobs in the world. These people would NEVER see retirement from this type job alone. Absolute shit take from CNN on this surprisingly, this is just lazy people who don't understand the risk of working a type of job that is liquid and contract based.

Your rant has NOthing to do with the Keystone pipeline, inasmuch as the TAR SANDS flowing thru the pipeline to the Gulf are EXPORTED! TAR SANDS are THE most caustic petroleum product being mined which CANNOT fill ANY domestic need. The ONLY jobs were during the comstruction of the pipeline and the skeleton crews needed to repair the leaks that WILL HAPPEN as we just saw with a 'leak' sending 100,000 tons onto virgin land, ruining the land for decades.
@TH-cam Moderator : This pipeline would not supply oil to the USA. The Canadians wanted to ship crude oil through the pipeline to a refinery in Louisiana where they would refine it, then, they ship it back to Canada. What does the USA get out of it? Pollution, lots of pollution, from the refining process. BP gets paid for the refining and that money gets sent to Cayman Islands banks. Not a good deal for America.
If the pipeline brings jobs into town, more people come in to town, if more people come to town more people will be looking for a gym. If that’s a main reason for you opening a fitness business prob not a great business plan

If they build the pipeline then thousands of trucking jobs will be lost because they won’t be transporting oil anymore. Plus all the restaurants the truckers stop at are all going to lose revenue.
I remembered working on a huge solar panel project in Maryland when Obama was in office. What they're not telling you is that when I was working on the project it was headed by a union from Germany and their guys made around 100,000$ in salary to manage the project while us American workers were hired thru a temp agency and only made minimum wage to work our asses off to do all the actual work. I hated that job but needed the money and work. I'm sceptical about this new green energy change.
It's about time CNN reported the truth make they realize that no matter how many lies they tell to help the idot in the white house people aren't as stupid as the Democrats think
But regardless May 2022 status of every thing happening globally, President Biden isn't the sole person that can and should control gas prices. The pipeline discussed here is upsetting and I get it; but we have oil being pumped from Canada anyway now...and the greedy oil CEOs control their prices...States control taxes at the pump; Ukraine war...global pandemic...supply and demand issues on every things; 1m dead from COVID; inflation...higher interest rates....and COMMODITY traders on Wal Street. That's just what makes any President in a Pickle....and we aren't the only country impacted.
The owner said ["HE" profited about a half million a month] The lady with the gym..all gyms fail at some point. As soon as the pipe lines are finished this was destined to happen. How many native Americans were employed here? This story should be carefully listened to. What did the local people say? Sure his comoany did a sidewalk and yes a fire truck for the company use. When his company leave..what will that small town be left with? A paper bag of water is my description .
That's your justification? All gyms fail? In the time the workers would have been there the owners would have recouped they're investment, now theyre holding the bag, they will probably lose they're house or what ever else they put up for collateral. As far as native American workers, who knows probably a few, it depends on who wants to go to work. The long term is cheaper oil, now we are back to moving it on wheeles, which is more expensive.

2 things changed with the cancellation of the project. The cost of oil went up from $10 a barrel to ship, to $25-$30 a barrel. And now the administration has made transportation of the oil less safe. Spillage in pipelines happens in the millions of barrels, by truck its in the 100s of thousands of barrels. This oil has been entering our country all along and that hasn't stopped. It has been shipped by truck. So basically nothing has changed other than it is now less environmentally friendly, and the consumer has to pay more.

The pipeline was not a necessity to American interests as the oil was not going to aid America, but Canada.

The boom and bust cycle of oil towns is a mixed bag. I’ve lived in one for 40 years. You make more money but the cost-of-living goes up. Money attracts a certain type of person. They come to deplete the resource and move on. The trade-off is you get an influx of money, more money for schools, roads, infrastructure. You get more box stores, more choices etc. On the downside you get oil spills, air pollution more cancer. We are all responsible for how we invest our time and money. You make the best decisions you can with the information you have at the time. Try to stay fluid, don’t put all your eggs in one basket - ever.
Air pollution will go up more because the oil will still be transported via railcar and trucks if the pipeline is not built. Statistically pipelines pollute less then traditional methods of transportation, but in the off chance that the pipe suffers a major leak, the damage will be focalized and difficult to contain. I honestly could not give a care about these inbred hicks living in the middle of nowhere, so the pipeline being scrapped is not a huge loss to me.

@@andrewheffel3565 Capitalism transforms even the most spectacular productivity gains not into abundance and human freedom, but into new forms of artificial scarcity. Instead of translating productivity gains into shorter working hours, higher wages and guaranteed employment, capitalists have captured the benefits for themselves, increasing private profits while keeping wages low and retaining the threat of unemployment to discipline labour. Given that capitalism requires endless growth to extract maximum profit, any strategy that does not take into account which part of the economy should grow, and which should not, is going to fail in the long run. As convincing as the documented negative physical effects on society are, it's also crucially ever more irrefutable that humans are simply not equipped to behave any other way than to grow without voluntary restraint, until we deplete the resources we need to survive, and overwhelm the environment with pollution until it is so toxic that it is poisonous to virtually all forms of life. We are basically an invasive species with no more self restraint than cancers or yeast. This is where even the most dire voices about climate change often err. It's not libertarianism, or capitalism, or western civilization that has led us to this predicament - rather it is humanity's exponential growth, in numbers and complexity, in technological capability, medical advances, in extraction and consumption. We are literally consuming the planet. The imperative to grow and consume is primordial and we cannot eliminate this biological trait despite our desire to believe in free will.

@@Sarubotai A new well probably old now concept of societal evolution is here right now or ten years ago as Gary says. Now we are just waiting for the republicans to die out.
You are correct, this was true when the automatic loom was invented, when the assembly line was invented, and when computers began appearing in office spaces. Those who were intimidated by computers and thus refused to adapt lost their jobs; meanwhile those who trained themselves on how to, operate, program, or maintain and repair these computers; not only retained their jobs, they advanced to higher paying jobs with better benefits. It's like right now, alternative energy is greatly expanding, while big coal and oil have been dying a slow death. Russia's price war with Saudi Arabia has helped speed up the death of big oil. Prices are high now because, America has been holding back on production, both due to lower demand because of Covid 19, and as an attempt to artificially create scarcity to rise prices even more as demand increases with the spring and summer season. There are companies around the world working on developing modular nuclear reactors that are far cheaper and safer than traditional reactors. Due to being able to fit on a flatbed truck, these reactors are more mobile and due to safety can be placed in populated areas. These reactors can also be easily converted to nuclear fusion, ad as they are can use nuclear waste as fuel. One would have to be a fool to think big oil still has a long life, especially as solar and wind also are becoming cheaper. Artificial Intelligence will be the backbone of the tech boom that is already starting, it will be a much more global and will stretch across far more fields of study than the Digital Revolution; and is the tech boom futurists have called the singularity and have predicted for decades. As virtual assistants, self driving cars, personal flying vehicles, and many other developing technologies prove; these futurists were right when saying this boom will bring the technologies o science fiction into becoming part of our everyday lives. Anything involving, alternative energy, technology, medicine, etc, are all areas that will explode with new jobs, as our tech companies have said since the 80's that, they can't find enough people with the skills they need, and we have known for some time the Boomers would cause the medical field to need many more workers. We can also expect an increase in assistive technologies, as Japan has had to supplement the care of their older population with robots and other technologies, just as we have seen video communication technologies empower children to attend school, and seniors either at home or in long term care facilities to stay in contact with loved ones. As America's economy rebuild, this tech boom will speed up; and the advantage for America is, countries like China have an upside down pyramid shape, as they have far more older people than the generation following it, and the youth population is even smaller. So, soon China will have the same issue as Japan, fewer people being born and not enough people to support the social system. China as actually in a worse situation than JApan due to 2 - men for every woman. America is also not under replacement birth levels, but we are closer than these countries, and our immigration legal and otherwise keeps our population level stable. In fact, the influx of young folks at our Southern Border is what our country actually needs. Of course, America will be in a far better place if we deal with our, poverty, homelessness, inequality, and lack of universal healthcare and universal education. If we decide to climb back to the top in education, America will be able to compete far better with other countries. We will see, political, social, and demographic changes in the coming years; along with the technological changes, and much like Covid 19 those who pay attention will be prepared before the changes happen, so as to empower themselves and their families. Those who bury their heads in the sand and who deny what is happening around them, will find themselves and their family impacted negatively.

It’s time to move on from fossil fuels, unfortunately. The use of fossil fuels simply is unsustainable. The pipeline, if completed, would one day be abandoned.
except oils required for everything we produce in this world beyond energy. all the plastics composite materials chemicals that we use everything. Until we come up with a magical replicator like in Star Trek you little world jokes need to be grounded in reality and the fact that oil is just going to be a part of our lives Perhaps always.
Indeed, but the big message must be to not invest in old industry: green energy is the way to go. Just shifting the project elsewhere will bring the same kind of negative effects.
Exactly. This pipeline is dirty Canadian Oil being shipped to China, and it is only 35 permanent American jobs. And the workers are eligible for unemployment and the stores eligible for PPP.
The most important detail they didn't mention, a part of pipeline was going to be built under a water source that, if leaked or broke, would containment the water supplies of entire towns and communities across two states. In fact, in one area a new water treatment plant was built that supplies freshing drinking water to five towns and communities. If the pipeline leaks it'll leave thousands of people without usable water. Would you drink contaminate water?
Uh, engineering? How many engineering projects serve 7,800,000,000 humans currently? How many fail? Shucks...nothing should ever be built on earth ever again, today and for the next 5,000 years. But wait, there's more... Does your car or truck use tires? Ever use any plastic in a hospital, or from grocery store (lack of sanitation is lethal)? Solar panels can NOT make car tires, plastic, paint, nail polish...solar panels can NOT make 144+ products that require petroleum. STOP oil, go SOLAR...and NO MORE tires, plastic, paint, nail polish or 144+ products for you NO MORE!!! ======= SOURCE ======== 144 Products Made From Petroleum and some that may may shock you. innovativewealth.com/inflation-monitor/what-products-made-from-petroleum-outside-of-gasoline/

There is also this thing called a shift key that can be used to properly capitalize your post. Granted Sacramento is still surrounded by military facilities but the closures of Mather and McClellan caused a great deal of economic distress in the area.

Damian Allen It's a boring place to live? Our bars are open till 3:30am every night, you only have to be 18 to drink, our beer doesn't taste like piss, and we have nationwide legal marijuana. Our healthcare is awesome because you can see a doctor WHENEVER you want, you don't go bankrupt after a simple medical procedure, and the slightly higher taxes are barely noticeable considering what we get in return. Our minimum wage is almost double that of Americas too.
@Damian Allen You're entitled to your opinion as I'm entitled to mine. But since you brought up Canada, I have to enlighten you on a couple of things (like it or not). Health care is not that expensive (certainly not nearly as much as yours), and while it leaves much to be desired, your healthcare system is nothing to rub our noses in, and very few people go bankrupt here over medical issues. As for boring, I'll take boring over bankruptcy anytime. I think most people (even Americans) would agree to that.

@@kyledailey There are solutions outside of just wind and solar. Nuclear is a clear solution that could solve most of our energy woes within a few years if the politics around it wasn't so difficult. Economics is the primary driver of these changes. But the fact is, fossil fuel costs have come down massively over the past 6 years, and as we switch to other energy solutions, the cost of FF will just continue to drop. So massive infrastructure like Keystone will multiply out the years it takes to actually become carbon neutral. We don't have that luxury. The fact of the matter, the US could afford solar at its current costs without too much pain. In developing nations that's a harder sell. Although I'd argue that prevention of further damage to the climate would pay for itself in the long run. Also, I don't get why you think that solar isn't helping the climate change issue. Considering (today) even in the worst-case Solar produces 21gCO2/kWh with the best-case of about 3gCO3/kWh and the average case is 4g. Compared to fossil fuel techniques which range from 78g to like 200g.

Your post is perhaps the most accurate. The oil is already being shipped from Canada to the USA by rail tanker cars.

The argument im trying to pinpoint is number construction workers that are there to build the pipe vs after it's done. Of course there is gonna be maintenance ppl and such still there. But there will always be alot of people starting off when building the project, but once it's finished all u got left is to sustain it. The people should have taken this into acoount. I mean cool tourist attraction...maybe. and the result if it was built?, idk what the result would have been. Maybe I'm dead wrong and this is just a huge mistake and their towns would have grown or at least got enough money from this before that "fast" season ended to do something else or expand.

I remembered working on a huge solar panel project in Maryland when Obama was in office. What they're not telling you is that when I was working on the project it was headed by a union from Germany and their guys made around 100,000$ in salary to manage the project while us American workers were hired thru a temp agency and only made minimum wage to work our asses off to do all the actual work. I hated that job but needed the money and work. I'm sceptical about this new green energy change.

But regardless May 2022 status of every thing happening globally, President Biden isn't the sole person that can and should control gas prices. The pipeline discussed here is upsetting and I get it; but we have oil being pumped from Canada anyway now...and the greedy oil CEOs control their prices...States control taxes at the pump; Ukraine war...global pandemic...supply and demand issues on every things; 1m dead from COVID; inflation...higher interest rates....and COMMODITY traders on Wal Street. That's just what makes any President in a Pickle....and we aren't the only country impacted.

You’re right we should save the owners of this gym instead of saving the planet. Makes sense.
2 things changed with the cancellation of the project. The cost of oil went up from $10 a barrel to ship, to $25-$30 a barrel. And now the administration has made transportation of the oil less safe. Spillage in pipelines happens in the millions of barrels, by truck its in the 100s of thousands of barrels. This oil has been entering our country all along and that hasn't stopped. It has been shipped by truck. So basically nothing has changed other than it is now less environmentally friendly, and the consumer has to pay more.
@s barron Stopping the pipeline didn't stop the shipment of the very same oil. It has been shipped for years.

The boom and bust cycle of oil towns is a mixed bag. I’ve lived in one for 40 years. You make more money but the cost-of-living goes up. Money attracts a certain type of person. They come to deplete the resource and move on. The trade-off is you get an influx of money, more money for schools, roads, infrastructure. You get more box stores, more choices etc.
On the downside you get oil spills, air pollution more cancer.
We are all responsible for how we invest our time and money. You make the best decisions you can with the information you have at the time. Try to stay fluid, don’t put all your eggs in one basket - ever.
Yep its a Detroit.
Well said!
Air pollution will go up more because the oil will still be transported via railcar and trucks if the pipeline is not built. Statistically pipelines pollute less then traditional methods of transportation, but in the off chance that the pipe suffers a major leak, the damage will be focalized and difficult to contain. I honestly could not give a care about these inbred hicks living in the middle of nowhere, so the pipeline being scrapped is not a huge loss to me.

@@andrewheffel3565 Capitalism transforms even the most spectacular productivity gains not into abundance and human freedom, but into new forms of artificial scarcity.
Instead of translating productivity gains into shorter working hours, higher wages and guaranteed employment, capitalists have captured the benefits for themselves, increasing private profits while keeping wages low and retaining the threat of unemployment to discipline labour.
Given that capitalism requires endless growth to extract maximum profit, any strategy that does not take into account which part of the economy should grow, and which should not, is going to fail in the long run.
As convincing as the documented negative physical effects on society are, it's also crucially ever more irrefutable that humans are simply not equipped to behave any other way than to grow without voluntary restraint, until we deplete the resources we need to survive, and overwhelm the environment with pollution until it is so toxic that it is poisonous to virtually all forms of life. We are basically an invasive species with no more self restraint than cancers or yeast.
This is where even the most dire voices about climate change often err. It's not libertarianism, or capitalism, or western civilization that has led us to this predicament - rather it is humanity's exponential growth, in numbers and complexity, in technological capability, medical advances, in extraction and consumption.
We are literally consuming the planet.
The imperative to grow and consume is primordial and we cannot eliminate this biological trait despite our desire to believe in free will.

You are correct, this was true when the automatic loom was invented, when the assembly line was invented, and when computers began appearing in office spaces. Those who were intimidated by computers and thus refused to adapt lost their jobs; meanwhile those who trained themselves on how to, operate, program, or maintain and repair these computers; not only retained their jobs, they advanced to higher paying jobs with better benefits. It's like right now, alternative energy is greatly expanding, while big coal and oil have been dying a slow death. Russia's price war with Saudi Arabia has helped speed up the death of big oil. Prices are high now because, America has been holding back on production, both due to lower demand because of Covid 19, and as an attempt to
artificially create scarcity to rise prices even more as demand increases with the spring and summer season.

As virtual assistants, self driving cars, personal flying vehicles, and many other developing technologies prove; these futurists were right when saying this boom will bring the technologies o science fiction into becoming part of our everyday lives.
Anything involving, alternative energy, technology, medicine, etc, are all areas that will explode with new jobs, as our tech companies have said since the 80's that, they can't find enough people with the skills they need, and we have known for some time the Boomers would cause the medical field to need many more workers. We can also expect an increase in assistive technologies, as Japan has had to supplement the care of their older population with robots and other technologies, just as we have seen video communication technologies empower children to attend school, and seniors either at home or in long term care facilities to stay in contact with loved ones.
As America's economy rebuild, this tech boom will speed up; and the advantage for America is, countries like China have an upside down pyramid shape, as they have far more older people than the generation following it, and the youth population is even smaller. So, soon China will have the same issue as Japan, fewer people being born and not enough people to support the social system. China as actually in a worse situation than JApan due to 2 - men for every woman. America is also not under replacement birth levels, but we are closer than these countries, and our immigration legal and otherwise keeps our population level stable. In fact, the influx of young folks at our Southern Border is what our country actually needs. Of course, America will be in a far better place if we deal with our, poverty, homelessness, inequality, and lack of universal healthcare and universal education. If we decide to climb back to the top in education, America will be able to compete far better with other countries.
We will see, political, social, and demographic changes in the coming years; along with the technological changes, and much like Covid 19 those who pay attention will be prepared before the changes happen, so as to empower themselves and their families. Those who bury their heads in the sand and who deny what is happening around them, will find themselves and their family impacted negatively.

The most important detail they didn't mention, a part of pipeline was going to be built under a water source that, if leaked or broke, would containment the water supplies of entire towns and communities across two states.

If the pipeline leaks it'll leave thousands of people without usable water. Would you drink contaminate water?

In the late 80s early 90s the Government shut down 2 Air Force Bases and an Army Depot in Sacramento county. That pulled over 25k long term good paying jobs out of the community. I do not remember a single national news segment on how that impacted the community. It took 15 to 20 years for the economy to recover around here.
@NO SHOEMAKERS so please explain what part of my post was a lie. While you are at it perhaps you can elaborate on what the California geo-political state has to do with the impact of George H W Bush shutting down military facilities in blue areas to preserve bases in red areas like Ogden Utah (which was on the chopping block but saved by chopping McClellan instead.). There is also this thing called a shift key that can be used to properly capitalize your post. Granted Sacramento is still surrounded by military facilities but the closures of Mather and McClellan caused a great deal of economic distress in the area.
100% agree with you. I am missing any sense of proportionality in this report. While millions go unemployed due to the mishandling of the Cov-19 pandemic by the GOP.

@@pablocastro5462 - Chinatown, really?
If you want to ignore the facts, go ahead and live in your own bubble. But there is a reason why the US has performed so poorly with its pandemic reaction. The leadership at the time, the GOP, has widely ignored the facts contrary to better knowledge. That this is the case is a proven fact, there is audio on it. Not only that the GOP leadership acted against the advice of the specialists on the matter. Therefore they are accountable for the result, that is over 500,000 people dead and millions of unemployed for the blundering.
Compare NZ and Australia, or the rest of the world. All had to deal with the same influx. Only some countries badly mishandled the situations and the US is amongst these countries. And the GOP is directly responsible for that, there is no denying of that and that has nothing to do with Chinatown located in the US.

@Damian Allen "overall its a boring place to live" is part of your argument against socialism.

Not to mention we have more people incarcerated than any other county of earth. Somethings not working.
Damian Allen It's a boring place to live? Our bars are open till 3:30am every night, you only have to be 18 to drink, our beer doesn't taste like piss, and we have nationwide legal marijuana. Our healthcare is awesome because you can see a doctor WHENEVER you want, you don't go bankrupt after a simple medical procedure, and the slightly higher taxes are barely noticeable considering what we get in return. Our minimum wage is almost double that of Americas too.
@Damian Allen You're entitled to your opinion as I'm entitled to mine. But since you brought up Canada, I have to enlighten you on a couple of things (like it or not).
Health care is not that expensive (certainly not nearly as much as yours), and while it leaves much to be desired, your healthcare system is nothing to rub our noses in, and very few people go bankrupt here over medical issues. As for boring, I'll take boring over bankruptcy anytime. I think most people (even Americans) would agree to that.

@@shadowmil The R&D needs to be done first. Wind energy is close to it's max, but solar is far from being ready. Solar at this stage, is no helping climate change, one damn bit. It will add to it, if anything, until it's way more developed. When it gets to 75% efficiency, then it will be worth using, slightly.
@@kyledailey There are solutions outside of just wind and solar. Nuclear is a clear solution that could solve most of our energy woes within a few years if the politics around it wasn't so difficult.
Economics is the primary driver of these changes. But the fact is, fossil fuel costs have come down massively over the past 6 years, and as we switch to other energy solutions, the cost of FF will just continue to drop. So massive infrastructure like Keystone will multiply out the years it takes to actually become carbon neutral. We don't have that luxury.
The fact of the matter, the US could afford solar at its current costs without too much pain. In developing nations that's a harder sell. Although I'd argue that prevention of further damage to the climate would pay for itself in the long run.
Also, I don't get why you think that solar isn't helping the climate change issue. Considering (today) even in the worst-case Solar produces 21gCO2/kWh with the best-case of about 3gCO3/kWh and the average case is 4g. Compared to fossil fuel techniques which range from 78g to like 200g.

not really, sometimes small towns like these actually develop into more populated towns and some even turn into cites (sort of how America was developed)...
Your post is perhaps the most accurate. The oil is already being shipped from Canada to the USA by rail tanker cars. I am guessing that the railroads employ a lot of people to maintain the tracks and run the trains that are delivering Canadian oil to the USA. The only downside is that it is less safe and perhaps less friendly to the environment.

And so it is with pipefitters and so on. They move from job to job, contract to contract. The money is terrific when it comes in; but there could be a few months or more when nothing is coming in. This is also true of seasonal labor towns where harvest time brings in migrant farm workers then winter happens and for some months no one has money, but plenty of time. Towns evolve to take advantage of those bursts of economic activity; it is *normal* in those circumstances.
@@thomasmaughan4798 I think we are on two different arguments. One is the sustainability of seasonal labor/ contract work that isn't necessarily constant all year. These jobs are important and necessary.they bring on what my job would call the fast season. On the other hand to there is the slow season where it's slow. The argument im trying to pinpoint is number construction workers that are there to build the pipe vs after it's done. Of course there is gonna be maintenance ppl and such still there. But there will always be alot of people starting off when building the project, but once it's finished all u got left is to sustain it. The people should have taken this into acoount. I mean cool tourist attraction...maybe. and the result if it was built?, idk what the result would have been. Maybe I'm dead wrong and this is just a huge mistake and their towns would have grown or at least got enough money from this before that "fast" season ended to do something else or expand. It's a slippery slope, there so much more than the surface level of this, but I like this conversation.
