Joe Biden’s war on American energy started on day one.

Biden’s first act of president was to kill the Keystone XL pipeline. Biden’s action on January 20, 2021, was part of a series of executive orders on his first day in office that revoked “permits signed over the past 4 years that do not serve the U.S. national interest, including revoking the Presidential permit granted to the Keystone XL pipeline.”

Biden's dictat claimed,  “The Keystone XL pipeline disserves the U.S. national interest.  The United States and the world face a climate crisis.”

Biden's resulted in many painful consequences for the U.S., an October 2023 Committee to Unleash Prosperity report found that U.S. oil output is roughly two million barrels a day below the Trump policy trend line.

With the stroke of a pen, Biden canceled a project that would have boosted U.S. gross domestic product by more than $3 billion, carried 830,000 barrels of oil daily from Canada to the United States, and directly and indirectly provided up to 26,000 jobs—11,000 of which were instantly lost.

MRCTV traveled to hard-hit towns in South Dakota and Montana to interview residents and business owners to learn firsthand how Biden’s callous decision to shut down the pipeline negatively impacted these communities.
