Hillary Clinton defends Presidents pipeline decision
Opponents and proponents of the Keystone XL Pipeline saga continue to speak out. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is the latest to defend the President's decision.
Mrs. Clinton held a news conference with Germany's foreign minister at the State Department. She took some time to comment on President Obama's rejection of the controversial Keystone Pipeline. "This announcement is not a judgment on the merits of the pipeline, but an arbitrary nature of a deadline that prevented the State Department from gathering the information necessary to approve the project," said Clinton. And, the opponents of the president's decision continue to speak out. North Dakota Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Heidi Heitkamp wants President Barack Obama to reconsider his decision to block construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline. The pipeline would carry oil from Canada to Gulf Coast refineries. Heitkamp says it would help North Dakota's efforts to export its own oil production. |
