The project had been under federal review for more than seven years and had the support of business and labor organizations. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Stateconcluded that the project wouldhave minimalenvironmental impact. Earlier this year, Representative John Moolenaar (R-Midland) voted for legislation that supported building the pipeline. He released the following statement today: "Today, the Obama Administration rejected a project that would have supported good-paying jobs for hardworking Americans. Republicans and Democrats from across the country supportedthe Keystone XL Pipeline because itwould have improved our nation's energy independence without raising taxes or adding to our debt. Today's announcement is a disappointment and it could result in higher energy prices in the future." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
