Collins critical of Obama rejecting Keystone

By Howard B. Owens

Press release:

Congressman Chris Collins (NY-27) today released the following statement after President Obama formally rejected the Keystone XL pipeline.

“President Obama once again put politics ahead of American job opportunities and the energy security interests of our country,” Congressman Collins said. “Rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline wastes an opportunity for America to achieve energy independence and create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs.”

Apparently Mr. Collins hasn't read any recent news, the industry fallout caused by the drop in value of crude oil. He's still peddling the industry propaganda from five years ago. He might also want to ask our neighbors in Pennsylvania about the "tens of thousands of good-paying jobs" that the fracking industry promised to create.
