And jobs shouldn't count as public benefit. It doesn't matter who built the pipeline, the workers were and are necessary.

If jobs were the primary benefit, they could have been created in renewable energy industries as easily as in climate and ecosystem destroying ones.

We should be counting up the number of schools, hospitals, and publicly owned renewable energy projects that are funded by pipeline revenues.
