Tell us now how

not going ahead with the keystone pipeline offshoot was the reason gas prices were high after the covid shortages.
Almost seems that oil prices are globally set, doesn't it?
But that's okay, right? It will be another milestone for trump when/if prices reach the highest ever, right?

The Keystone Pipeline is alive and well.....and was leaking.

As of early 2026, the specific Keystone XL pipeline expansion project remains terminated and inactive, despite 2025 efforts by the Trump administration to revive it. While the existing, separate Keystone pipeline system continues to operate (and recently underwent repairs following a 2025 leak), the proposed 830,000-barrel-per-day expansion was abandoned by its developer, now South Bow, in 2021.

The "XL" portion was set to run toxic tar sands oil from Canada, through a fresh water aquifer.
Any sane person would not risk contamination of a clean water source.... especially for toxic crap oil that would be exported and have zero impact on US oil use.
