According to a new United Technologies/National Journal Congressional Connection Poll, more than two-thirds of survey respondents, 67 percent, support building the Keystone XL pipeline extension that would provide Americans with up to 830,000 barrels a day of new oil supplies from North America.

We agree. Business Roundtable strongly supports Keystone XL approval because it is the key to U.S. jobs, economic growth and energy security:

• KEY to U.S. Jobs – Keystone XL would directly create 20,000 new jobs in the near term.
• KEY to Economic Growth – According to the Canadian Energy Research Institute (CERI), Keystone XL would add $150 billion to U.S. GDP between now and 2035.
• KEY to Energy Security – North American oil from Keystone XL could potentially replace more than one- third of the oil currently imported from the Middle East.
