A planned 49-mile pipeline to carry oil from a refinery in Memphis and connect two pipelines at Byhalia (Marshall County, Mississippi) has gotten all its permits â but it has drawn opposition.
U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, a Democrat who represents Memphis, has asked President Joe Biden to rescind the permission the Plains All American project has gotten.
On his first day in office, Jan. 20, Biden rescinded the permits for the 1,200-mile Keystone XL pipeline as part of his âtransitionâ to âgreen energy.â
And the effects on the oil industry are already being felt, including in Mississippi.
Yak Access, based in Columbia, which lays hardwood mats to create roads in remote areas that need to be reached, such as for oil pipelines, has already taken a major hit because of Biden s order. Same for Jones Lumber Co. which produces the mats in Hazlehurst and Natchez.
