| Dear Friend, After 6 long years, Americans are still waiting for the jobs, revenue, and opportunities that the Keystone XL pipeline could bring.
This is especially true for the states along the pipeline route – Montana, South Dakota, and Nebraska. While the Obama administration’s inaction stretches into a seventh year, for these states the delay has meant real lost opportunities.
To help share their stories and build support for the Keystone XL pipeline, we launched the Keystone XL Pipeline Lost Opportunity Tour. The tour starts today in Morgan, Montana – the site where the pipeline will cross into the U.S. from Canada.
The tour will visit the cities, towns, ranches, chambers of commerce, and businesses near the pipeline that will benefit from the construction and continued operation of the pipeline. Not only will the Keystone XL pipeline benefit these local communities, it will contribute $3.4 billion to U.S. GDP and support 42,100 new American jobs.
We know that a strong majority of Americans support the Keystone XL pipeline – today, let’s make that majority even larger.
Join the tour today: Read our updates and stories at energyxxi.org/kxltour. Then follow @energy21 on Twitter, we’ll be posting updates with the hashtag #KXLtour.
For 6 long years, the Obama administration has failed to make a decision on the Keystone XL pipeline. This tour shows that there are real consequences for this inaction.
Sincerely,
Karen Harbert President and CEO Institute for 21st Century Energy U.S. Chamber of Commerce |
