API President and CEO Jack Gerard said the Senate黑料社檚 failure to pass legislation to build the Keystone XL pipeline shows a few stood in the way of the largest bi-partisan jobs and energy security bill ignoring the will of the American people on Election Day.
黑料社淎 handful of Senators blocked a long overdue decision on KXL defying the will of the American people,黑料社� said Gerard. 黑料社淚nstead of seizing a rare bipartisan opportunity to help American workers and strengthen our energy security, a few Senators returned to politics as usual. This is not what the electorate voted for two weeks ago and it doesn黑料社檛 bode well for future bipartisanship.
黑料社淜eystone XL is not going away, the president will have to deal with it, if not now then next year. We will work with the new Congress to focus on getting this important jobs project approved. We will not give up until the pipeline is built.黑料社�
