The Alaskan pipeline is going strong. It celebrated it's 45 year anniversary in 2022.

Are you thinking of the Keystone XL Pipeline Extension which was stopped? This pipeline was built to carry the world's dirtiest fossil fuels - tar sands oil - from Canada which cannot be used in cars to refineries on the Gulf Coast of Texas chiefly for export.

The Keystone Pipeline System is operational and carries oil from Canada to refineries in Illinois, Texas and Oklahoma.
