U.S. Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.) released the following statement on the Obama Administration’s decision to reject the Keystone XL pipeline.

“The Keystone Pipeline would mean 20,000 American jobs and $7 billion in private sector investment. The State Department bureaucrats have had this under review since 2008. They’ve had three years to figure it out. And now they say, ‘No, we haven’t had enough time.’ Look, Americans without a job are the ones who are running out of time.

“These are real jobs in real communities that could have helped move America’s economy forward. It’s a great disappointment that the President and his administration have figured out a way to stop it. But we’re not going to give up on finding a way to move forward with the Keystone Pipeline.”
