It’s disappointing that we couldn’t pass the Keystone XL pipeline today. Passing this bill would have sent a message to the American people that we are listening to them – that they want the Senate to end gridlock, vote on, and pass bipartisan legislation. And we need to look to vote on – and hopefully pass – other bipartisan legislation as well. We came so close today, and I’m committed to getting this project done in the new Congress in a few months. I’ve talked for a long time about how the Keystone XL pipeline is a key piece of energy transportation infrastructure that is in our economic, national security, and energy interests, and I’m proud to have helped in this effort by rallying support among many Democrats for this project. This process has been going on for far too long – six years – and we still don’t have an answer. That’s unbelievable. We need a true all-of-the-above energy strategy – which includes Keystone as one piece of it – to help build North American energy independence. This project is just common sense, and I’ll keep up the fight to get it done. 1.usa.gov/1uNcdZ5
