I hope Biden's advisors steer him away from this. The pipeline will help the economy, blue collar jobs, and will reduce (almost eliminate) the emissions from tanker trucks that will carry the oil if the pipeline is cancelled. What a waste.

It actually won't create more jobs. The building of it will create temporary jobs. After it would be finished, there'd only be 50 permanent jobs.
In the states of Montana, South Dakota, and Nebraska alone, the pipeline would cross 1,073 rivers, lakes and streams, not to mention tens of thousands of acres of wetlands. In many cases, it will run within a mile of more than 3,000 wells that provide drinking and irrigation water in those states.
Affecting the water affects all the crops and livestock too. Also, farmers and landowners alike from Texas to Montana have been threatened with land repossession by eminent domain.
Gas prices would go up. And just because it's in the US doesn't mean it's for the US. It invades on Native American land, endanger many wildlife as well.

So, you disagree with yourself. Many more jobs now and for years, but only a few added jobs permanently. Sounds like more jobs. The Alaska pipeline also safely "crosses" rivers and streams...just like bridges do. Who cares, as long as we follow sound engineering in developing it? Your assumption that the pipeline will break over or near a stream is founded on...nothing. You don't seem to recognize that the alternative is hundreds of tanker trucks burning diesel in long round trips to bring the same oil south. Gas prices will go down with the pipeline, not up.

The guy is a puppet for his peers and in no way capable of running this Country in the best interest of all American people. Buckle your seat belts we are on our way through the twilight zone and hell and keep your Conservative views to yourself or you will be sensored and ejected into the bowels of hell with the rest of us deplorables.
