Kristi Noem today helped advance H.R.5682, a bill to cut through regulatory red tape and allow the Keystone XL Pipeline to move forward. Noem joined both Republicans and Democrats in passing the legislation, which would formally approve TransCanada’s application to construct the pipeline, through the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday. “Many South Dakotans are paying twice as much of their after-tax income on energy than the national average. We ought to be doing everything we can to bring those costs down,” said Rep. Noem. “The Keystone XL Pipeline’s construction will create jobs and give America more leverage in the global energy marketplace. It could alleviate pressure on our road systems and rails and generate much-needed revenue for communities and counties across the state. This administration has run out of excuses. It’s time to build.” Noem has been a vocal supporter of the Keystone XL Pipeline’s construction. She is a co-sponsor of H.R. 3, the Northern Route Approval Act and has strongly urged President Obama and Secretary Kerry in writing to support immediate approval of the pipeline. “For far too long, the politics of the Keystone XL Pipeline have blocked its construction as well as the jobs and economic activity it would generate,” continued Noem. “10,000 miles of pipeline have been constructed since Keystone was initially proposed, which is the equivalent of eight Keystone XL Pipelines. Let’s move beyond the politics and start pushing energy back into this economy.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
