LINCOLN – Nebraska State Treasurer and U.S. Senate candidate, Don Stenberg, issued the following statement today in response to President Obama denying a permit to build the Keystone XL pipeline.
“President Obama’s decision today that will delay building the Keystone XL pipeline, will further weaken our national energy policy and the overall economy. His failure to stand up to radical environmentalists will result in higher oil prices and loss of jobs – many of which would have been created right here in Nebraska.”
“The President’s actions today remind us that Washington is full of people who say one thing but do another. The President talks about good paying jobs and he talks about energy security, but today he acted against both of those important goals.”
“Nebraskans need a Senator they can count on to go to Washington, and do what’s right for them, regardless of party or what the polls say.”
