Keystone XL: a US perspective
Hilary Clinton, the presidential candidate for the Democratic party, has said that the Obama administrationÂé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»™s decision regarding the Keystone XL pipeline is overdue, stating: Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»œI'm going to tell you what I think soon, because I can't wait.Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»
A majority of US voters of all political persuasions agreed that the years of Keystone XL pipeline delay have hurt our energy security and economy, according to a new poll conducted for API by Harris Poll.
Hillary Clinton says she will not take a position on the Keystone XL pipeline until she becomes President, citing her work on the issue as US secretary of state.
Clinton said: Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»œIf itÂé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»™s undecided when I become president, I will answer your question.Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»
Hillary Clinton broke her silence over the construction of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, stating that she opposes the controversial project.
She stated: Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»œI think it is a distraction from important work we have to do on climate change Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»¦ Therefore I oppose it.Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»
US President Barack Obama rejected the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline project.
"The pipeline would not make a meaningful long-term contribution to our economy," Obama told a press conference on Friday.
Environmental groups have used the project to great effect as a symbol to raise the profile of climate change as a political issue.
API President and CEO Jack Gerard said Hillary ClintonÂé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»™s anti-Keystone XL pipeline position demonstrates an unwillingness to follow the will of American voters who strongly support the project.
Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»œHillary ClintonÂé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»™s decision to oppose Keystone is a missed opportunity to seize the true potential of our energy renaissance. How can the administration advocate a deal that would help Iranian oil producers but not do the same for US and Canadian producers? This is not how you harness AmericaÂé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»™s economic and diplomatic potential.Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»
