Te primary beneficiaries of the XL are China and Canada, why would the Dakotas wish to get involved?
This is issue # 1,987,345,765 where the vast majority should STFU until they bother to get the facts themselves rather than their political masters.
If you proposed this pipeline today you would get laughed at as it is not needed, these companies just want what they can get of their money back at this point.

The China part of your argument is laughably ignorant. The Chinese do not want the Keystone pipeline. They want that oil to go to thee eat coast of Canada and then ship to China.
Canada cares in as much as the dollars they have already invested and Canadian jobs are protected. The oil is getting sold one way or another.
The biggest benefactor of this EO is BNSF rail which has a very large sim donor as a huge shareholder.

yup. not even to mention that the US companies the XL portion of keystone would service, where they add in light crude, prefer to have their product refined on the east coast as the refineries there yield a more expensive, better quality product.
Some hack politician said in 2015 “KXL has taken an overinflated role in political discourse. It’s being used as a political cudgel for both parties rather than a serious matter.” Hard not to agree with him.
And BTW...senate Rs struck down an amendment back then that would’ve approved the project congressionally IF only US steel was used and any product resulting from KXL stayed in the US.
It’s not about US energy security, not about jobs, not about the economy. It’ll only create a few thousand temporary jobs, and maybe 30 permanent ones. The oil from Alberta already reaches the gulf through completed phases of Keystone. It’s a big fat nothing burger that changes almost nothing whether it’s built or not.
