The info I provided is from a non political site, not from an opinion blog from a left leaning news site.

I read your post including Trump's share of the blame, as you assigned.

Just that I totally disagree with you regarding the Keystone or suspending leases leading to spike in gasoline cost. This was mostly due to oil producing countries having gone through the Covid shutdown when their revenues dropped to nothing and now making up for lost time, along with the usual oil company gouging. And Keystone crude oil (shale oil from Canada, not US) was never going to end up in our gas station to begin with. Even otherwise, it would have taken several years before the pipeline was completed to have any effect on our oil supply. So I call that a BS.

So Keystone is yet another Benghazi type scare mongering for the Fright wing. More on Keystone:

The takedown of the notorious Keystone XL (KXL) tar sands pipeline will go down as one of this generation’s most monumental environmental victories. After more than 10 years of tenacious protests, drawn-out legal battles, and flip-flopping executive orders spanning three presidential administrations, the Keystone XL pipeline is now gone for good.
