Noem Statement on Keystone XL Rejection

Statement

Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Oil and Gas

Representative Kristi Noem (R-SD) reacted in disappointment to President Barack Obama's decision to kill the Keystone XL pipeline project.

"With this decision, the President is saying no to a thoroughly vetted project that would create 130,000 jobs. Make no mistake, if we don't work with Canada to utilize this energy resource then the Chinese will and we will remain as dependent as ever on energy imports from places like Venezuela and the Middle East," said Noem.
