Biden dürfte Genehmigung für die Keystone XL stornieren

January 20, 2021 - Die neue Administration des designierten Präsidenten Joe Biden dürftedas $8 Milliarden Keystone XL Pipeline Projekt kündigen, der kanadische Energiesektor wird voraussichtlich mit Klage reagieren.

The 2,000km-long pipeline would carry roughly 800,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta to the Texas Gulf Coast, passing through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma.

First proposed in 2008, the pipeline has become emblematic of the tensions between economic development and curbing the fossil fuel emissions that are causing climate change. The Obama administration rejected it, but President Donald Trump revived it and has been a strong supporter. Construction has already started.
