It's official! President Obama Rejects Keystone XL Pipeline Proposal [View all]
President Obama Rejects Keystone XL Pipeline Proposal
11/6/15
President Barack Obama announced Friday morning that he is rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline proposal.
The president, citing concerns about the impact on the environment and a political climate that overly-hyped the pipeline's benefit, said the effort "would not serve the interests of the United States."
"While our politics have been consumed with whether this pipeline would increase jobs and lower gas prices, we have increased jobs and lowered gas prices," Obama said.
