Keystone XL Pipeline
October 17, 2011
We would like to thank all the elected officials, veterans and citizens who are currently supporting the Keystone XL Pipeline, and have signed onto our letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
We believe that the development of the Keystone XL Pipeline is in our country’s best national interest, and will create jobs, encourage economic growth, provide a stable energy supply and improve our national security. Specifically, the pipeline will provide more than 700,000 barrels of oil each day from the Dakotas, Montana, Oklahoma, and Alberta, Canada to refineries along the Texas Gulf Coast.
The project will drive economic growth in the United States, with nearly 20,000 manufacturing and construction jobs created in the United States and more than $5.2 billion in tax revenue to the Keystone XL Pipeline corridor states. Additionally, the Keystone XL Pipeline be constructed using industry best practices, and will meet or exceed all existing pipeline regulatory standards.
We are appreciative to all of those who have remained supportive of the Keystone XL Pipeline. Please visit our website, Facebook and Twitter pages for additional updates on the progress of this project.
