Markey Amendment Keystone XL Pipeline Bill Improves US Energy Security. Jan. 20. 2015

Senator Markey

Published on Jan 20, 2015

America is being asked to build this Canadian oil pipeline and assume all the environmental risk, including the damage to our climate, but then we’re supposed to accept that some of this oil will be exported to foreign markets. America should not be a middleman between dirty foreign oil and thirsty foreign markets, just so oil companies can make more profits,” said Senator Markey, a member of the Environment and Public Works Committee. “The oil industry has said this is about energy security, but I am calling their bluff. This vote will put my colleagues and the oil industry on record over whether they want to keep the oil here for American consumers, businesses and our national security, or continue our dependence on foreign oil.
