Business Roundtable (BRT) President John Engler said today that the State Department’s decision to walk away from the Keystone XL pipeline project amounted to a deferral of thousands of jobs and improved U.S. energy security.
Access to reliable, affordable energy undergirds U.S. national and economic security, and a clean, healthy environment is essential for economic prosperity now and for future generations. Business Roundtable supports policies that capitalize on America’s strengths in technology and energy diversity to maximize U.S. energy options and preserve environmental quality. The business community has a special obligation to step forward and help build an environmentally and economically sustainable future.
