This action is a huge blow to the tar sands overall, and if the other pipeline gets too many set backs the tar sands might actually fold from lack of investment.

I had literally zero hopes for Biden, and this is already a net good. Consider me surprised.

    Hey comrade, I'm with you. Climate change is an incredibly large and complex problem that won't be solved under capitism - it requires fundamental changes in rapid times.

    I also don't think that canceling a pipeline is going to solve it.

    But, this is something good - its revoking a permit, not even a market solution.

    My only point is that this is literally already a bigger step than any other us or Canadian head of state has taken. And that is kind of depressing.
