DEVILS LAKE- Recently Devils Lake Journal published an article about congress introducing the Keystone XL Pipeline Construction and Jobs Preservation Act to authorize the construction and operation of the Keystone XL Pipeline which would declare that a Presidential permit is not required to construct the pipeline, a move made following President Biden’s decision to rescind the border crossing permit.
We wanted to know what readers thought of this legislation and here is what you said!
Oralia Diaz said the legislation was, “Beating a dead horse - new energy is being developed- oil is DED - none of these 5000 or 50000 or watever absurd number is TEMPORARY- this industry depends on new lines being built every 2-3 years- it’s not viable. We need infrastructure building - that would put more people to work for longer periods and increase our GPD - re train and re direct those workers to building for the future not the short term.”
President Joe Biden says he wants "more than $5 trillion” for clean energy initiatives, such as windmills, solar panels, hydropower and ethanol all while maintaining these investments will create

A large group of House Republicans, led by North Dakota Congressman Kelly Armstrong, introduced legislation that aims to preserve the Keystone XL Pipeline. The Keystone XL Pipeline Construction and Jobs Preservation Act greenlights construction and operation of the pipeline, and deems a presidential permit unnecessary. The resolution is a direct rebuke to President Biden’s move to pause construction of the pipeline, which will cause an influx of job loss.
The legislation is co-sponsored by a total of 85 House Republican lawmakers, including GOP Leader Kebin McCarthy (CA), Whip Steve Scalise (LA), and Conference Chair Liz Cheney (WY).
