Statement

Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Oil and Gas

Congressman Rob Wittman (VA-1) released the following statement after President Obama announced his decision to prevent the growth of American energy jobs, rejecting a permit for the Keystone XL pipeline:

"This decision puts politics ahead of good policy, and prevents the growth of thousands of American jobs. More largely, it signals again a failure to explore all options for job growth and energy security in this country. I am disappointed in this decision and will continue to promote policies that support American jobs and energy, and lessen our dependence on unstable sources of oil."
