knapplc Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I love how the link criminal agitator Cruz provides says that he's lying. What a dope! Pipelines don't create 11,000 jobs, or even 5,000 jobs. Those numbers are bunk and have been debunked for years, back during the live discussions they had here in Lincoln when they were first trying to steal Nebraska farmers' land with this boondoggle. 2 Link to comment

The construction phase (in this case 2 years) certainly does create that many. But, as pointed out elsewhere, they are "temporary" jobs, and once operational the pipeline would only keep a fraction of those numbers employed. https://factcheck.afp.com/posts-inflate-job-losses-bidens-keystone-pipeline-reversal 1 1 Link to comment

Exactly. And during the live debates in Lincoln opponents of the pipeline debunked those thousands of jobs as well. The estimates from the pipeline company took into account workers needed at tertiary suppliers for materiel - except that those workers were already hired, already on the payroll doing other work. They weren't hiring new people for new jobs. It's all been a boondoggle from the beginning. It will create very few sustained jobs, and it will profit Canada, pollute America and take away land from our farmers. Huge nope. 1 Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Here's a photo of early work on the Keystone XL pipeline. Note the 'thousands' of workers. Source My wife's uncle was on crews that built two of the existing pipelines. This was what he described as a typical crew. There aren't 'thousands' of people on these projects. More like a few hundred at a time. It's not like they're digging trenches by hand, or laying pipe by hand. Link to comment

The stay is only for 14 days, and if they don't like the ruling either party can appeal. 2 Link to comment
