--with automakers vowing to go electric ASAP the pipeline project might be sold as a way to send water from the Great Lakes to drought ravaged areas that grow our food. Just run a spur from the western tip of Lake Superior into the massive Ogallala aquifer to keep it supplied. Then let growers tap it.
If trends continue people will eventually be forced to migrate away from dry western states as water resources dry up, as costs explode and fires burn 'em out. At present I assume a barrel of water is currently less than that of oil. However, if demand for oil ever subsides as predicted all those "lost oil pipeline jobs" could possibly reappear as glorious GREEN, gub'mint/ taxpayer funded "Build Back Better" jobs.
