During his first weeks in office, President Biden declared a war on
Made in America energy. In his first week alone, the President killed the
Keystone XL pipeline, re-entered the disastrous Paris Climate
Agreement and put a ban on all new oil and gas leases on federal lands. These
actions strike at the heart of our Montana way of life. These
actions kill jobs and rob Montana counties of critical tax
revenue.
Cancelling
the Keystone XL pipeline will cost hundreds of jobs in Montana and eliminate $60-$80 million of
tax revenue for our rural communities each year. Sixty
Montana workers in Fallon County have already been laid off, their
paychecks gone, their families left wondering how they're going to pay
for their groceries. This pipeline is not only good for Montana
workers, jobs and families, it's good for low cost energy AND our national
security.
I believe President Biden should be helping
Americans get back to work during the pandemic, not the opposite. That's why
I'm fighting back. I've introduced a bill in the U.S. Senate to
reverse President Biden's decision and congressionally authorize the
project. I hope all of my Senate colleagues cosponsor my bill.
President Biden
is catering to radical environmentalist groups and abandoning our
workers. It's unacceptable. As your voice in the U.S. Senate, I will keep
leading the fight to stand up for Made in America energy and Montana
jobs.
