World 黑料社,

API Downstream Operations Senior Manager, Refining and Oilsands, Cindy Schild said after years of delays and excuses by the President, it is now time for Congress to take the lead and approve the Keystone XL (KXL) pipeline.

黑料社淚t黑料社檚 time for members of the Senate to vote yes on KXL and take a stand for middle class Americans who desperately need and want the thousands of jobs Keystone XL would create,黑料社 said Schild. 黑料社淭he benefits of this vital energy infrastructure project have been held hostage for more than five years. The administration黑料社檚 shameful politics of 黑料社榩rocess黑料社 should not trump what is in the best interest of this nation黑料社檚 energy and economic future.黑料社

API has launched new TV, radio and online ads in Colorado, Delaware, Minnesota, New Mexico and South Dakota urging Senators to approve the KXL pipeline. The message: it is time to take action and put politics aside.

黑料社淎mericans overwhelmingly want KXL built and are telling their lawmakers in Washington. API黑料社檚 grassroots army of more than 24 million American energy advocates is urging elected officials to support KXL legislation.

黑料社淎 vote for the bipartisan bill introduced by Senators Hoeven and Landrieu is a vote against Washington gridlock and game-playing. After five exhaustive studies confirming no significant environmental impacts, the Obama administration黑料社檚 announcement that it needs more time to make a decision is a joke.黑料社

API represents all segments of America黑料社檚 oil and natural gas industry. Its more than 600 members produce, process, and distribute most of the nation黑料社檚 energy. The industry also supports 9.8 million US jobs and 8% of the US economy.
