Statement on Keystone XL Pipeline Rejection

Washington, D.C. - Today, President Obama announced that he would reject the Keystone XL pipeline after determining that the Canadian tar sands pipeline is not in the interest of our country or our climate. SEEC members released the following statement:

“Keystone XL has never been in the national interest. Now that this question has been officially put to rest, it is time for Republicans in Congress to stop focusing on promoting dirty fossil fuels, and get serious about more pressing issues like responding to climate change and developing clean energy solutions that create good paying, permanent jobs.”
