Pence joins House Republicans in seeking to restore Keystone XL Pipeline project – The Republic

WASHINGTON Rep. Greg Pence, R-Ind. joined House Republican Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), Congressman Kelly Armstrong (R-N.D.) and 83 House Republicans to introduce the Keystone XL Pipeline Construction and Jobs Preservation Act. This legislation authorizes the construction and operation of the Keystone XL Pipeline following President Joe Bidens decision to rescind the border crossing permit.

The Biden Administrations decision to rescind this permit negatively impacts hardworking American families in our district and beyond. Pipelines like the Keystone XL Pipeline remain the safest and most environmentally friendly way to move fuel to heat our homes, float our ships, and power our cars. Canceling this pipeline has already cost thousands of working Americans their jobs. First, the liberal agenda goes after the Keystone XL Pipeline, but next theyll attack the over 44,000 miles of pipelines Hoosiers rely on in the Crossroads of America, Pence said in a statement.

Pence also joined Scalise and more than 30 members of the House Energy Action Team to strongly condemn the Biden administrations 60-day moratorium on issuing oil and gas leases on federal lands and waters.
