Biden pushing to cancel Keystone XL pipeline as soon as he takes
thehill.com
President-elect Joe Biden is reportedly planning on canceling the permit for the $8 billion Keystone XL pipeline on his first day in office.

Let's be fair, if we only get this, $10k in loan forgiveness and $1,400 Biden will be a better president than Obama, for folks in the US, anyways.

    Climate activism is for people who are 15-25 in 2020 what LGBT rights were for people who were 15-25 in 2008.

    The US underwent significant improvements in LGBT civil rights in the '00s, so I'd take this as a good sign.

    Now that it’s overwhelmingly popular and the “political calculus” makes sense, the Dems will make sweeping gestures that actually fall massively short, and then they’ll tell you to shut up and go away.

    The US is moving on climate change in the wake of nearly every other country on earth, and the Dems will likely fall far short of what's necessary. But good news! We've outsources so much of our industrial capital to other countries that our policies are fading in terms of relevance.
