As he indicated he would, U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., on Tuesday announced that he had introduced a bill in Congress that, if passed, would overrule President Joe Bidenâs executive order and allow construction on the Keystone XL Pipeline expansion to continue.
However, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, in control of what comes up for a vote, it is unlikely the bill will see a vote any time in the near future.
Job concerns
According to the company that owns the pipeline, TC Energy, as many as 13,200 jobs (more than 10,000 of which were American) equaling more than $2 billion in total payroll were immediately lost and/or will never be created because of the order.
