WSJ To Obama: Stop Stalling On Keystone

Some big news came late on Friday as the State Department released a report showing that the environmental impact on the Keystone XL pipeline would be minimal.

The Obama administration has been stalling Keystone for well over a year now—despite pressure from Republicans and even some Democrats. Estimates show that over 200,000 American jobs can be created in the long run from the project.

This morning, The Wall Street Journal has an editorial calling for an end—once and for all—to the Obama Administration’s stalling.

“The larger issue is whether the U.S. wants to continue to be considered a serious economic nation with rising living standards and a modern energy supply. If Mr. Obama turns down Keystone XL, the Chinese will be laughing at us as they buy Canadian oil and build their economic power, while America adapts to the Sierra Club’s preferred future of the world as Walden Pond.”

It’s time to tell President Obama and his supporters that they’re no more excuses. The Keystone XL pipeline is integral to our future—both economically and our energy.
