US President Joe Biden delivered on his campaign promise by revoking, on his very first day in office, the permit for Canadian company TC Energy to build Keystone XL, a mega oil pipeline that was meant to move 830,000 b/d of crude from Alberta's oil sands to refiners in the US.It makes for a rocky start to relations between the US and Canada. But the manner in which the permission was canceled -- less than two years after Donald Trump pulled out all the stops -- suggests there will be no going back.Climate activists will no doubt celebrate the decision. But it is a big blow not only to the Canadian oil producers, but also refiners in the US, especially those in the Gulf Coast refining hub, whose avenues for securing heavy, sour crude like the variety supplied by Canada have been steadily narrowing over the years.
