6/11/21 Good News! The Keystone Pipeline's Dead

Joe Biden got to work the very day he was inaugurated, and one of his first actions was to cancel the permit allowing construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline.

Designed to carry great gobs of oil from Canadian tar fields to the Gulf of Mexico, the pipeline had bedeviled Native Americans and environmentalists, had prompted Republican legislatures to make some protests illegal, and otherwise caused grief for anyone standing within a hundred miles of the project.

Now, TC Energy, the Canadian firm behind the project, has finally given up. On Wednesday, the company said it would work with all the necessary parties to "ensure a safe termination of and exit from the project.”

Then, like a miracle, it'll be gone.
