7/27/2019 Keystone XL Letter to President Obama
1/8
October 9, 2013
President Barack ObamaThe White HouseWashington, DC
Dear Mr. President,
We write to express our strong support for the approval of the Keystone XL pipeline. Though werepresent a diverse group of industries, we share a common belief in the importance of thisproject to the broader American economy.
We are at an inflection point in our economic recovery. Whether economic growth will remainmodest or pick up speed will depend on maintaining investor confidence and strengthening
Americas competitiveness. The decision on Keystone XL will affect both.
Investor confidence is shaped heavily by perceptions of business climate whethergovernments take actions that enable capital investment and job growth. Studies by your
administration have demonstrated that construction of Keystone XL will directly result in theinvestment of $3.3 billion in the U.S. and support tens of thousands of American jobs, acrossdiversified sectors, which will in turn add billions of dollars to the national and regionaleconomies. Approving this investment will send a powerful signal of this Administrationscommitment to getting America back to work.
It would also enhance Americas competitiveness by helping to realize the long -standing goal ofincreased North American energy security, without spending a single dollar of U.S. governmentfunds. A strong, integrated energy distribution system that spans the continent promises to be acompetitive advantage for the United States for years to come. The flow of oil, gas andelectricity both north and south among the United States, Canada and Mexico directly benefits
Americans by creating efficiencies and reducing overall energy prices for households and
businesses. Plentiful, affordable energy could rejuvenate the U.S. industrial sector, andencourage investment.
We know your Administration is carefully considering the environmental risks associated withKeystone XL, as it should. Those risks, like those incumbent in many other significant projects,must and can be managed, through appropriate regulation and careful stewardship.Keystone XL will meet nearly 60 special conditions set by regulators to minimize risks, andultimately the net environmental impact of the pipeline would be minimal as was recognized inyour Administrations Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS).
We urge you to approve the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline to signal to the world thatthe necessary ingredients for a strengthened U.S. recovery are in place and bolster thefoundations of U.S. competitiveness and energy security.
Sincerely,
-
