KXL and XBC
It's a bit of a stretch to compare TransCanada's Keystone XL and Xebec but here's my argument: anyone that is outraged that Biden would pull Keystone's permit is missing the big picture.
The big picture is simply that the world needs to de-carbonize and energy infrasture is going to slowly transition away from fossil fuels and into renewables. So you can complain about pipelines or you could recognize that there's actually a massive, long-term opportunity to invest in renewables.
The following interview aligns with this view:

"(Clean Energy) is a long-term trend that investors need to look at."
Interesting commentary on the valuation of clean-energy stocks, and how they have become 'momentum' stocks. The argument, and part of the reason why Xebec has been doing so well, is simply that there aren't many Canadian clean-energy stocks to invest in.
Governments around the world will be investing heavily in their economies to recover from Covid, Xebec and renewable energy will be big benefitiaries.

Keystone is just an easy target It is Canadian.He will find it more difficult and less popular to curtail American shale production.

The real reason why Biden, and Obama before him, canceled Keystone XL is because it feeds the Koch brothers refineries.... green or enviro is just political points from the unaware that they gain from hurting who was paying to campaign against the Dems, and why it gets approval every time a Republican gets voted in as President. Simple as that.
