WATCH: Dem Senator Lists the Reasons Biden’s One Executive Order Was a Fatal Mistake; House Republicans Introduce Bill to Reauthorize Keystone XL Pipeline
By Townhall. Montana Senator Jon Tester (D) on Tuesday said President Joe Biden’s decision to cancel the Keystone XL Pipeline was a mistake. He came to the conclusion based on his personal experience as a farmer.
“I’ve been a supporter of the Keystone Pipeline. There have been two caveats and they’ve been basic caveats: you do it to the safety standards and you respect private property rights. I think the Keystone Pipeline folks could have done a better getting the Fort Peck Tribe on board and they need to continue working to do that but in the end I think it’s a good project,” Tester explained. “I believe in climate change but I also think this one pipeline isn’t going to turn it around, isn’t going to turn our climate around. It’s not going to make it a markedly worse situations.”
The Montana senator said he supports the Keystone Pipeline but he also supports research diving into greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide, that are released into the air.
“These might sound like two different philosophies butting heads but I’ll tell you, in my real life, I’m a farmer,” he said. “And we’re not where we need to be in this country for replacing diesel fuel with something else, in a tractor, for example, or a semi that’s going down the road.”

House Republicans Introduce Bill to Reauthorize Keystone XL Pipeline Following Biden’s Executive Overreach
By Townhall. A large group of House Republicans, led by North Dakota Congressman Kelly Armstrong, introduced legislation that aims to preserve the Keystone XL Pipeline. The Keystone XL Pipeline Construction and Jobs Preservation Act greenlights construction and operation of the pipeline, and deems a presidential permit unnecessary. The resolution is a direct rebuke to President Biden’s move to pause construction of the pipeline, which will cause an influx of job loss.
The legislation is co-sponsored by a total of 85 House Republican lawmakers, including GOP Leader Kebin McCarthy (CA), Whip Steve Scalise (LA), and Conference Chair Liz Cheney (WY).

“Thanks to @RepArmstrongND’s leadership our bill saves jobs, protects U.S. national security, keeps energy costs low, and promotes American-led energy innovation.” https://t.co/IYYeOcqEMP

Today I introduced legislation to construct the Keystone XL Pipeline.
Pipelines are safe and Keystone XL has earned all necessary permits.
Let’s build it.
