WASHINGTON, DC - House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) today issued the following statement in response to the Nebraska Supreme Court’s ruling upholding the route of the Keystone XL pipeline.
“The president has been hiding behind the Nebraska court case to block this critical jobs project. With that contrived roadblock cleared, the White House is now out of excuses, and out of time. Today the House will cast its tenth vote to end the delays so we can finally start the construction and create these jobs that Americans still desperately need. In light of this breaking news, the president should reconsider his threat to oppose this bipartisan jobs bill, and instead join us as we stand up for American jobs and energy," said Upton.
