Railing against soaring gas prices, Republicans in Congress cite Keystone XL decision

Apr 6, 2022 | 11:22 AM

WASHINGTON — Republicans are resurrecting the long-dead Keystone XL pipeline expansion in an effort to blame President Joe Biden for soaring gasoline prices.

The controversial cross-border project, cancelled by Biden on his first day in office, is playing a prominent role in a congressional hearing on Capitol Hill.

Former national security adviser H.R. McMaster says that decision is proving a costly one in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

McMaster tells members of the House energy committee that the Biden administration’s fossil-fuel policies are working at cross-purposes.

He says Biden pulled the plug on a project that would have provided a low-impact way of boosting oil and gas imports from Canada.
