Press Releases

Today, after President Obama rejected the Keystone XL pipeline today, Congressman French Hill (AR-2) released the following statement:

“The President is wrong to reject the Keystone pipeline. Aside from the 42,000 ready-to-launch private sector American jobs the pipeline would create, Keystone is also a major step towards North American energy independence. Once again, the President is choosing to appease far-left factions of his party over the majority of Americans. This bipartisan issue is supported by large numbers in Congress, by Canada’s newly elected progressive, environmentalist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, as well as labor unions throughout the United States. No pro-growth, pro-energy independence president would have rejected Keystone, and I encourage Congress to push back on this illogical decision from the White House.”
