Young Statement on Rejection of Keystone XL Pipeline

Statement

Iowa Congressman David Young issued the following statement in reaction to President Obama's rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline:

"The president's failed decision comes at the expense of thousands of good-paying American jobs. Sadly, this was expected, but his decision is certainly disappointing to those who will miss out on a job opportunity. Iowans have shared this frustration with me specifically, because to them, Keystone is a commonsense approach to economic growth and energy independence. We need to rise above politics and get serious about creating jobs and being a source of stability for energy markets in these uncertain times."
