16 states urge Biden to resurrect Keystone pipeline over report U.S. wants more Canadian oil

Sixteen Republican state attorneys general want the Biden administration to reverse course and resume construction of the Keystone XL pipeline following a report that U.S. officials want to increase oil imports from Canada to blunt prices at the pump, but without a new pipeline.

“[W]e have repeatedly asked you to reconsider this misguided (and we continue to believe unlawful) decision,” the attorneys general, led by Montana’s Austin Knudsen, wrote to President Biden Monday. “We warned you then if your decision was not reversed, Americans would ‘suffer serious detrimental consequences,’ consumers would pay higher prices, and our allies would become further dependent on Russian and Middle Eastern oil.”

“We hate to say we told you so,” they said.

Keystone was effectively killed by Mr. Biden on his first day in office when he canceled a crucial permit, a move that has prompted calls from Republicans ever since to change his decision and finish the job.

Republicans and critics of the administration have long contended it would decrease gas prices with increased supply. Gas prices have reached all-time highs due to inflation, a lack of global supply and the war in Ukraine.
