A pipeline welder who worked on the Keystone XL project slammed President Biden on Wednesday after the White House announced measures intended to lower gas prices.
Fox News contributor Brian Brenberg and Marco Trends Advisors founding partner Mitch Roschelle reacts to President Biden's announcement of an additional release from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Biden's executive order nixing the pipeline stated that the U.S. would prioritize the "development of a clean energy economy" instead of fossil fuel production. Material for the Keystone XL pipeline is pictured in western Canada on Jan. 26, 2021. President Biden revoked the permit for the pipeline days earlier.
"As far as my side of the industry, we've seen our man-hours cut almost — well, more than half. We got people that lost health insurance, they're not getting retirement benefits, they've had to find different careers," Crabtree continued. "When you're 40, or 45 years old, starting over ain't the easiest thing to do. You spent all your time building your skill set and then all of a sudden you're making a minimum wage. It can change your life.
"It's not just Keystone. Ever since day one — I can name you dozens of other pipelines that we were expecting to build here in the last couple of years, and they can't get the permits," he added.
