Keystone XL Pipeline Cancelled!

The project has ended following new President Joe Biden's cancellation of a key permit.

Pipeline owner TC Energy have scrapped building plans for the line, which was planned to bring 830,000 barrels per day of Alberta oil sands crude from Canada 1200 miles through the States.

The project had faced opposition from climate campaigners and environmental groups, and President Biden revoked the important permit in his January executive orders, leading to the subsequent halting of the works.
