EVRAZ North America Disappointed in Keystone XL Vote Results
12/09/2014 - EVRAZ North America expressed disappointment that while Senate votes favored proceeding with the long-awaited construction of the Keystone XL pipeline by 59 to 41, the bill was one vote short of being approved and advancing to the White House.
"We are disappointed that the path to job creation and increased energy independence has been put on hold; however, we are encouraged by growing support for pipeline completion and are confident that the bill will be reintroduced and succeed early next year,” said Conrad Winkler, president and CEO of EVRAZ North America. “In the interim, we urge President Obama to respond to the increased support by acting now to approve the Keystone XL application.”
Winkler added, “The pipeline will safely provide the oil our country needs from our own shale areas in North Dakota and Montana and from our trusted trade partner Canada. It will allow our citizens to benefit from the thousands of jobs the pipeline project will create.”
