Joe Biden lifts sanctions on Russia pipeline yet cancels American pipeline

Sanctions were placed on Nord Stream 2 during the Trump admin now Biden cancels them allowing Russia to bypass sending natural gas through the democratic country of Ukraine as they have to do now.

The Nord Stream 2 deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin's regime will transfer Russian gas to Germany via a pipeline running under the Baltic Sea. If completed, this new pipeline would double the amount of natural gas Russia transports directly to Europe and hand an enormous geopolitical victory to Vladimir Putin. 

Yet the Keystone pipeline in the U.S. is shutdown. 

So much for Trump coddling Russia. Looks like the Ukraine didn't pay the Biden family enough. 

 "Look, here's the deal........we gotta put America last."

To be fair, Keystone XL isn't really an American pipeline but I hear ya.

Natural gas vs tar sands.

Avoid a Ukraine annexation pushing efficient fuel under the Baltic sea to off set oil burning b's the nastiest sour crude made in Canada for China. 

Surprised you haven't brought Michigan's pipeline cancellation of the pipes under the great lakes or as governor refers to as a ticking time bomb.

Then really Russia needs America's approval to move energy?

That's is new. 

As far as the leaking mess of line 5 a soon to be bankrupt enbridge energy company of Calgary Canada. 

Michiganders themselves remember well an Enbridge spill in 2010 that dumped more than 3.3 million litres of diluted bitumen into the Kalamazoo River, fouling more than 40 kilometres of shoreline.

Sarah Hubbard, a legislative expert in Michigan with lobbying firm Acuitas LLC, told a Wilson Center panel last week that Whitmer – who faces a re-election campaign next year – finds herself trying to satisfy two of the constituencies who got her elected in 2018: organized labour and environmentalists.

“That's where I see it right now – you've got these two major factions that are her supporters really fighting with each other over this,'' Hubbard said.

“She's trying to figure out how to thread the needle.”

Huge pressure mounts as the governor the attourney general argue to stop the pending disaster and big oil industry and the profits possibly be arrested argue that oil line must run until system failure....

Environmental groups are starting to show interest in protesting this gross violation to 20 percent of the fresh water on the planet when this line leaks.
