chosen.content: Then-Vice President Joe Biden was opposed to the Keystone Pipeline due to environmental concerns. In 2015, he issued a presidential Memorandum directing a review of the State Department’s permit for the Keystone XL pipeline to ensure it met the administration’s climate criteria. The Obama administration ultimately denied a permit for the construction of the pipeline and Biden was criticized by some Republicans for intervening in the review process and undermining a key component of US energy independence.

rejected.content: Former Vice President Joe Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline in order to protect the environment and curb the effects of climate change. He believed that the pipeline would have increased the extraction of oil, resulting in an increased release of carbondioxide into the atmosphere. His reasoning was that it was not only the right thing to do but also critical to averting climate catastrophe.  In light of that, Biden decided to take the unprecedented step of issuing a presidential permit denying approval of the construction of the pipeline.
