See the summary below from NAM. It's well known that pipeline transmission is more efficient in both cost and the environment than either rail or tanker truck so what is the Administrations true motivation. It can't be the environment. Its politics, pandering to left wing libtards to the detriment of everyday Americans to earn a living and put food on the table. Administration Rejects Keystone XL. After seven long years of hurdles and delays, TransCanada Corporation’s permit application to build the Keystone XL pipeline received an outright rejection last Friday. The NAM has repeatedly called for approval of the pipeline, a strong component of an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy. In response to the rejection, the NAM issued a joint statement with the Laborers’ International Union of North America (LIUNA).“Proving politics is more important to this White House than American jobs, President Obama today killed the opportunity to create thousands of long-term jobs and advance North American energy security,” the NAM and LIUNA said in the statement. “After years of holding this project hostage by delaying a decision on the Keystone XL pipeline, the President turned his back on hardworking Americans, who overwhelmingly support the pipeline. Manufacturers, all workers and all Americans deserve far better than to be treated so poorly.” For the past seven years, the Obama Administration continually raised the bar for approval—and the project’s sponsors cleared it every time. The Keystone XL project would have been the most state-of-the-art pipeline ever constructed, creating thousands of jobs. The State Department found, several times over, that the pipeline would pose no material environmental risks. For manufacturers, the rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline is a tough pill to swallow. The Administration declared a privately funded infrastructure project capable of creating $3.4 billion in GDP not to be in the nation’s interest. It is difficult to view the United States as “open for business” when such an opportunity is rejected. It is time for Congress to take action to override the Administration’s rejection and build this job-creating pipeline.
