Subject: Keystone XL: a no-brainer

Dear Friend,

To folks across the country, the writing is on the wall. The Keystone XL pipeline, first proposed in 2008, would create good-paying jobs and increase our country’s energy independence. Plus, it has passed five separate clean environment impact statements. It’s clear that moving forward with this project is a no-brainer.

Unfortunately, the Obama administration just punted on approving Keystone XL – again.

This should be simple. There is no other single project that has the same positive jobs benefit, the same positive energy security benefit, and five clean environmental impact statements. It has broad-based support, reflecting the majority of Americans.

The Obama administration has made this about a political agenda instead of about jobs and boosting our economy.

It’s long past time to approve the Keystone XL pipeline. I’ve worked with colleagues in the Senate to push this forward, and I’ll continue to fight until it’s complete.

As always, I’m interested in hearing your thoughts on energy, the Keystone XL pipeline, and other issues important to you. Please contact me with your ideas at any of my state offices or in my Washington office. You can also reach me online at http://vitter.senate.gov.

Sincerely,
 

I think you’re egregiously mistaken! The Keystone XL pipeline will eventually experience an oil spill...What makes this eventuality especially frightening is when the pipeline finally blows it will contaminate everything in its path...see New Orleans today...Scientists need to explore alternative energy sources...It is imperative that man begins respecting this earth (see American Indians)...It’s the only one available to us at the moment!
