Vets4Energy Ohio: Rejection of XL pipeline 'lessens national security'
February 22, 2016
President Obama's decision to reject the Keystone XL Pipeline project three months ago may have brought an end to a controversial proposal initiated over six years ago, but some supporters of the U.S.-Canadian pipeline believe nixing the plan was not in the best interest of the country.
"While the U.S. is rejecting key energy infrastructure projects like KXL Pipeline, other countries are jumping at the opportunities to increase their energy security," U.S. Army Spc. Hillary Horsley, an Iraq war veteran and co-chairperson of Vets4Energy Ohio, told TI News Daily. "While we keep talking about opportunities, others are taking advantage of them. Saying no to the pipeline lessen(s) our national security, disrespected our Canadian ally and told me that our government did not trust American workers to do it right."
