Not just the pipeline, the general push to restrict oil use led to changes in the way many refineries here are used. Some were effectively shut down, others are refining crude for different uses, and would need to be prepped to refine it into gasoline again. The administration has asked them to start producing more gasoline ASAP, while making clear that its desire to shut them down in the long run has not diminished.
So the oil industry is being asked to spend a lot of money so the country can get cheaper gas... and then they'll get the rug pulled out from under their feet. I think the oil company executives are enjoying telling Biden that they won't do it, knowing that he will bear the brunt of the electorate's anger. What can he do? Demonize them? He's already done that, and besides... they are oil industry executives! Calling them greedy monsters is almost a compliment. DeSantis will not lack for an excess of campaign funds in 2023/24, that much is for sure.
