Donald Trump is looking to revive the Keystone XL oil pipeline on his first day back in the White House, according to three people familiar with the president-elect’s plan, even though no companies are trying to build it anymore.
Trump believes declaring the 1,200-mile Canada-to-Nebraska crude project back on the table would drive the pro-oil message he delivered in his campaign, said people involved in the transition team discussions about the idea.

Looks for Dems to blow it up to make it harder for Trump to rebuild.
But Trump can get it done.

I think Alaska is likely the first place to go. Open it up. The first pipeline harmed nothing environmentally.
Biden doubled the cut the USA gets when on Federal land. Since they pay taxes on income, let's take a look at what's going on. Is the government double dipping?
