U.S. Senate Rejects Attempt to Force Approval of Keystone Pipeline
Statement of Environmental Defense Fund
We are very pleased that the Senate has rejected an attempt to bypass the rigorous review process that both Republican and Democratic administrations have used for decades, and force approval for the Keystone pipeline. We believe the pipeline is the wrong choice for America, a step in the wrong direction at a time when we need a rapid shift to clean energy in order to safeguard the climate and our economy.
