JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Yesterday, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and 15 other state attorneys general today sent a letter calling on President Joe Biden to reinstate the permit for the canceled Keystone XL pipeline. The coalition also called on the President to stop federal efforts to impose methane regulations.
“From canceling the permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline to suspending authorization for transportation of liquefied natural gas via railcar, all while increasing reliance on foreign energy sources, the Biden Administration’s anti-energy policies have led to absurd prices at the pump,” said A.G. Schmitt. Currently, 110 countries have more expensive fuel prices than the United States. Those countries include the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, France, Japan, Brazil, and Canada.
The coalition has asked the Biden administration to stop their attempt to infuse decision-making across federal agencies, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s proposed regulation for new natural gas projects, and the suspension of the authorization to transport liquified natural gas by rail tank cars.
In addition to Missouri Attorney General Schmitt, attorneys general from Montana, Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming also signed the letter.
