This project aimed\u200c to facilitate the flow\u200d of Canadian crude from the oilsands to an \u200dAtlantic seaport. While pipeline lawyers argued that \u2063a local ordinance could potentially breach the Constitution\u2019s provision, which reserves such authority for \u200bCongress, the\u2062 Biden administration\u2019s legal eagles argued to\u200b the \u200bcontrary,\u200d stating no federal laws or the Constitution were\u2064 being violated.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2064 weight of\u200d such <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-biden-administrations-disconcerting-bias-against-canadian-oil\/\" title=\"Biden Administration's Troubling Bias on Canadian Oil\">top-tier \u200csupport empowers environmentalists<\/a> who oppose the introduction\u2062 of Canada\u2019s \u201cdirty\u201d oil to \u200bU.S. shores.

In the case of\u200c the prohibitionists and moonshiners, they both wanted to shut down liquor stores on Sunday, but for vastly\u2063 different \u2064reasons. In today\u2019s context, it\u200b seems\u200c the Biden administration is aligning with radical environmentalists \u2064and U.S. businesses keen on curbing Canadian oil\u2019s \u2064entry into the U.S. market, conveniently using climate\u200b change \u200bas\u200c a shield.<\/p>\n<p>This\u200d assertion becomes evident when examining the administration\u2019s inconsistent stances\u200c on pipeline projects.

Earlier, \u2062Congress had even passed a law\u2014unrelated to energy development\u2014that stripped the court of \u2064jurisdiction to hear the case.<\/p>\n<p>This move, which angered environmentalists, proves \u2064that the\u2062 self-proclaimed &#8220;climate leadership&#8221; often\u2064 takes a\u2064 back seat to national business and\u200b political ambitions.<\/p>\n<p>The hypocrisy surrounding the\u200c Keystone XL\u200c pipeline further <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritage.org\/energy-economics\/commentary\/bidens-hypocrisy-keystone-xl-vs-nord-stream-2-pipelines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">drives this\u2062 point home<\/a>. Multiple environmental reviews\u200b under the\u2064 Obama \u2063administration found \u200bthe project harmless, yet both Obama and later Biden scrapped it.\u2063 Meanwhile, the Biden administration\u2019s opposition to the Canadian project \u200ccontrasts starkly with its endorsement of Nord\u2063 Stream 2 at \u200dthe behest of three influential European governments \u2064(Germany, Austria, and \u2062the \u200dNetherlands) despite \u200cRussian aggression in Ukraine.
