Approve and expedite construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline
Approve and expedite construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline.
Occurrences
Evidence
“Executive Order 13990 also revoked the Keystone XL pipeline permit... The pipeline project was cancelled shortly thereafter, and will no longer cross Tribal treaty and ancestral homelands.”
Assessments
The promised outcome was to approve and expedite construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline. Although Keystone XL received federal approval during the Trump administration after Zinke left the House and while he was serving federally as Interior Secretary, the pipeline was not ultimately constructed; its permit was revoked by Executive Order 13990 in 2021 and the project was cancelled shortly afterward. Zinke supported and materially advocated for Keystone XL, so this merits an effort badge, but the construction outcome was not delivered.
