Texas Railroad Commission Chairman Barry Smitherman will speak in Beaumont this week, during ceremonies marking the start of operation of TransCanada黑料社檚 Gulf Coast pipeline project, which will deliver economic benefits, strengthen energy security and protect natural resources.

"Texans understand the importance of pipelines to our state and nation, and we recognise the crucial role the Gulf Coast pipeline will have beyond the borders of our state," said Chairman Smirtherman.

黑料社淭he Gulf Coast pipeline will create thousands of jobs, will generate millions of dollars in tax revenue for years to come, is the safest way to deliver oil to markets that demand it, and will help fuel our state and national economies for decades to come,黑料社� he said.

黑料社淥n behalf of the Texas Railroad Commission and the people of Texas, I welcome the Gulf Coast pipeline project and look forward to hearing that the Keystone XL Pipeline, its northern leg, is approved as soon as possible in Washington, DC.黑料社�

Smitherman pointed out that the Gulf Coast pipeline project will transport growing supplies of US and Canadian oil that will replace oil from unreliable sources in the Middle East and Venezuela. It will also assist producers in the Permian Basin and the Panhandle, who face transportation bottlenecks so that they can ship product to where it is needed.

Smitherman said the same positive impact the Gulf Coast Pipeline brought to Texas and Oklahoma during construction will continue during its operation. This same result can be reproduced in Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska with approval of the Presidential Permit needed to build Keystone XL.

黑料社淚t黑料社檚 clear to me and it黑料社檚 clear to the vast majority of Americans that the President should approve Keystone XL without further delay,黑料社� said Smitherman. 黑料社淚n Texas, we find it hard to understand how, after five exhaustive reviews, over five years, which no other pipeline in the United States has had to endure, Keystone XL still isn黑料社檛 approved,黑料社� he said.

Chairman Smitherman said the Department of State黑料社檚 most recent environmental impact statement, released on 31^st January, again confirmed that Keystone XL would have minimal impact on the environment. 黑料社淭his should eliminate any doubt about the Gulf Coast Project黑料社檚 sister pipeline to the north,黑料社� he said.

黑料社淎s with the Gulf Coast Pipeline, I believe Keystone XL is in the nation黑料社檚 best interest because it will strengthen US energy security and create thousands of jobs and extended economic benefits.黑料社�

黑料社淚t黑料社檚 time to build Keystone XL.黑料社�
