In a letter delivered today to House and Senate conferees on the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2012, Part II, Business Roundtable said:
- Business Roundtable urges you to vote YES on expedited approval of the Keystone XL pipeline extension.
- Approval would trigger a $7 billion business investment that could deliver more than 800,000 barrels per day of North American oil to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries.
- Keystone XL would deliver enough oil to displace one-third of the oil currently imported from the Middle East.
Creating jobs, driving economic growth and boosting U.S. energy security should be an easy decision for Congress and the President.
