Keystone XL Pipeline Approval Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MOONEY of West Virginia. Madam Speaker, on a variety of issues,
from the Environmental Protection Agency's war on coal jobs in West
Virginia to the designation of ANWR in Alaska as permanent wilderness,
the President has used unilateral executive action to stifle domestic
energy production. It is time for the President to stop pandering to
radical environmentalists and do what is right for hardworking American
families.

The business community, organized labor, partisan majorities in
Congress, and a clear majority of the American people support
construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.

The President's own State Department concluded that the project is in
the best economic interest of our Nation and that the project would
have no impact on carbon emissions and no negative impact on the
environment.

Mr. President, enough is enough. It is time to create 42,000 jobs and
reduce energy prices for hardworking families. Sign this bill into law.
It is time to build the Keystone XL pipeline. I ask that you do this
not only for the hardworking taxpayers I represent in West Virginia but
for all Americans struggling in this economy.
