Biden’s executive order will likely kibosh Keystone XL project

The long-contested Keystone XL Pipeline may be reaching the end of its battle with President Joe Biden’s recent decision to revoke a permit for the project, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The project’s saga spans more than 12 years, facing judgment from the last three U.S. presidential administrations.

The Keystone XL is an expansion of the existing Keystone pipeline that carries Canadian crude oil into the U.S. The line, which is already partially completed, was expected to transport 830,000 barrels of oil 1,210 miles from the Canadian oil sands to Steele City, Neb. From there, it would link to existing pipeline and travel to Gulf Coast refineries.
