The Presidents decision today is irresponsible and Congress must overturn it. Recent studies from the Presidents own U.S. State Department outline some of the benefits that would come with the project, including more than 42,000 direct and indirect jobs including 3,900 construction jobs, and an estimated $3.4 billion boost to the economy.Two thorough environmental analyses also showed that the proposed Keystone XL pipeline would have a minimal impact on the environment. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
