The personal impact of President Joe Biden’s executive order canceling the Keystone XL Pipeline along with thousands of jobs was captured in an interview with longtime oil and gas industry workers David and Kristina Dickerson.
“I feel pretty betrayed,” David, a 31-year veteran of the industry, said Wednesday morning on “Fox & Friends.”
An October 2020 report said the pipeline would create about 13,000 high-paying jobs, but Biden revoked the March 2019 permit.
David said he had to dip into his retirement fund as he waited for the Keystone project to move forward.
“We’ve been depending on this to happen, and it just all of a sudden got ripped out from under us and we’re not going to be able to do it now,” he said.
