You're just being silly Hedonist. Since when did considerations like safety, energy security, environmental protection and economic efficiency mean squat? The Democratic Party is a big tent party, and President Biden must kiss the asses of the idealistic progressives.
Yes, the pipeline may be safer for life and property. The carbon emissions and environmental damage may be less than transport via truck and rail. Shipping Canadian oil to China instead of Gulf Coast refineries is a great way to provide energy security to our Chinese brethren. And gas lines and higher gasoline prices? Who gives a fuck if you live at home with Mom and Dad and don't have to drive to work.
