Keystone XL Pipeline Abandoned by Developer Months After Biden Executive Order

The company behind the Keystone XL Pipeline that was blocked by the Biden administration earlier this year officially has pulled out of the project.

TC Energy, which is based in Calgary, Canada, provided few details as to why it is pulling out of the project, which was first proposed in 2008 and would carry hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil per day from Canada into the United States. The firm said that construction activities were suspended on President Joe Biden’s first day in office on Jan. 20.

According to a news release, the company said it “will continue to coordinate with regulators, stakeholders, and Indigenous groups to meet its environmental and regulatory commitments and ensure a safe termination of and exit from the Project.”

“We value the strong relationships we’ve built through the development of this Project and the experience we’ve gained. We remain grateful to the many organizations that supported the Project and would have shared in its benefits,” said TC Energy CEO Francois Poirier in the news release.

Environmental groups cheered the move.

“This is a landmark moment in the fight against the climate crisis,” said Jared Margolis, a senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity, reported Reuters. “We’re hopeful that the Biden administration will continue to shift this country in the right direction by opposing fossil fuel projects.”

Biden faced significant blowback from Republicans and industry groups after signing the executive order reversing the Trump-era move. Critics have said that tens of thousands of jobs were lost essentially overnight by the pipeline’s cancellation.

While asserting that the Keystone project “would not serve the U.S. national interest,” Biden said that his Jan. 20 order is designed to “promote and protect our public health and the environment; and conserve our national treasures and monuments, places that secure our national memory.”

The pipeline, meanwhile, was slated to carry 830,000 barrels of oil per day from the Alberta oil sands to Nebraska. Environmentalists, Native Americans, and some landowners had opposed the move.
