Congressman Moulton Reacts to Passage of Keystone XL Pipeline Act

Press Release

"Climate change is one of the most important global issues we face, and Congress must act to protect our planet for future generations and ensure a sustainable energy supply.

"Unfortunately, the Keystone XL Pipeline Act failed to strike the right balance between energy development and environmental protection. The bill was a missed opportunity for members on both sides of the aisle to have a thoughtful debate about how best to meet the energy needs of our nation. For those reasons, I opposed the legislation.

"For too long we have subsidized the production of fossil fuels and failed to make the necessary investments in clean, renewable energy. Moving forward, I am committed to working with members on both sides of the aisle to find solutions to our energy challenges."
