Subject: | Resolution Urging President Biden to Reopen the Keystone XL Pipeline |
This week oil prices have soared to more than $100 per barrel. Each day, the United States imports more than 800,000 barrels of oil per day from Russia. These barrels are either going to become more expensive or completely unavailable as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to escalate. That's why I plan to introduce a resolution urging President Biden to reopen the Keystone XL Pipeline. The United States cannot continue to rely so heavily on foreign oil when we have the resources to fuel our vehicles and heat our homes. It was expected that the Keystone XL Pipeline would transport 830,000 barrels of oil per day, which would help offset the current supply received daily from Russia. Re-opening the Keystone XL Pipeline will start to ease the burden that Pennsylvanians are feeling every day and protect our national energy security going forward. Please join me in co-sponsoring this timely resolution. |
