The narrative: "Joe Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline"
The reality:
1) Biden did not shut down any of the existing Keystone Pipeline. Period. The Keystone Pipeline has been in full use since 2016,
bringing tar sands from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
2) No interruption of the existing pipeline's operation has been affected by any of Biden's actions.
3) Only the unbuilt, and highly controversial XL Extension of the pipeline was stopped by Biden.
4) The XL extension was having trouble being built because of many reasons, including resistance from the state and local level.
5) One of the main reasons the XL extension had trouble getting built was because it would go through environmentally sensitive
land.
5) Fun fact they want you to not know -The pipeline was actually built during the Obama/Biden administration between 2010- 2016.
