9. “The Keystone pipeline is for oil that bypasses the United States”
There was a lot wrong with this claim, but mainly that “about 12 percent of the pipeline’s capacity had been set aside for crude from North Dakota and Montana.”
House speaker Paul Ryan was very upset at Obama’s decision not to build the pipeline. he said, “By rejecting this pipeline, the president is rejecting tens of thousands of good-paying jobs. He is rejecting our largest trading partner and energy supplier. He is rejecting the will of the American people and a bipartisan majority of the Congress. If the president wants to spend the rest of his time in office catering to special interests, that’s his choice to make. But it’s just wrong.”
