It also sets up the death of petroleum because it will take only a couple of high-impact derailing events [caused by eco-fascists] to shut it down after Keystone XL is killed off.
Derailings after killing Keystone would only change interior oil transport from trail to trucks, which are even less efficient and more polluting.
Unless the eco-fascists were attempting to get the Democrats to ban petroleum altogether. If Biden were that stupid, there would be millions sitting in the cold and dark, learning the hard way that it is not possible for renewables to meet our energy needs.

All derailing would do is see to that oil is delivered from elsewhere. There's no escaping oil.
I phrased that poorly. I should have said "domestic petroleum".
You are correct, the oil will come from elsewhere and we will pay in blood and treasure for it.
