    Fact Check

    Did President Donald Trump order the Keystone pipeline system "to transport ONLY American Oil"?

  • Fact Check: High U.S. Gas Prices In 2022 Are NOT Related To Closed Pipelines

    Fact Check

    Are high U.S. gas prices in 2022 related to closed pipelines? No, that's not true: The high gas prices in 2022 are mostly attributed to the price of crude oil, along with global economics and world affairs.

    Fact Check

    Did President Joe Biden's wartime ban on Russian oil imports cause the cost of gasoline to skyrocket and would completing the XL branch of the Keystone pipeline bring prices down?

  • Fact Check: The Keystone Pipeline Is NOT Closed And Is NOT Causing The Gas Shortage On The East Coast

  • Fact Check: President Biden Did NOT Cause the Price of Gasoline to Increase

    Fact Check

    Did President Biden cause the early 2021 increase in the price of gasoline? No, that's not true: petroleum industry analysts agree that prices nearly doubled in less than a year for several reasons not under the control of any president: rising demand as more people travel due to a stronger economy and waning COVID concerns, a stagnant supply caused by…

  • Fact Check: Calculations of Tanker Truck Fuel Needed To Replace Keystone XL Pipeline Capacity Does NOT Compute

    Fact Check

    Will tanker trucks needed to take the place of the now-canceled Keystone XL pipeline have to burn the volume of fuel stated in various pro-pipeline memes? No, that's not true: There are several variables beyond the issue of arithmetic that are not addressed by these memes, but the numbers alone do not add up. For one thing, there is another…
