Contact: Heitkamp Press Office: 202-224-2043
Washington, DC- Senator Heidi Heitkamp today commended the Governor of Nebraska, Dave Heineman, for approving an alternative route for the Keystone XL Pipeline Project.
“I commend Governor Heineman for his approval of the revised Keystone XL Pipeline route. It is now time for the Obama Administration to move quickly to expedite the project,” said Senator Heitkamp. “In North Dakota, we know that the Keystone XL Pipeline means American jobs, increased energy security, and the certainty that comes from dealing with our neighbors to the north. It is imperative that we seek to improve our energy infrastructure in order to take full advantage of the robust energy development in North America, and the Keystone Pipeline is one way to do that. This pipeline has already been subjected to an incredibly exhaustive review process, so I hope the President will move swiftly now that concerns about a route through Nebraska are no longer an impediment.” Senator Heitkamp has signed onto a bipartisan letter led by fellow North Dakota Senator, John Hoeven. The letter urges the president to approve the Keystone XL pipeline without further delay.
