Existing pipelines in the USA and Canada are already more sufficient than necessary. The existing pipelines need to be replaced in an infrastructure project. The priority for updating pipelines has to come from the governance of the USA, not from the petroleum industry that link new pipelines with labor paychecks for the sole purpose of political pressure.

Labor paychecks can be best served by identifying old pipelines and lobbying Congress for infrastructure projects to make the country safe from leaks and pollution. This entire idea of building new pipelines is out of control.
