"The State Department and President Obama's decision to delay approval of the Keystone XL pipeline will strike a blow against American workers who need jobs, against American consumers who need energy, and against America's economic and national security.
"Turning our back on our good friend and ally Canada will exponentially increase the odds that Canadian oil is shipped to China and other countries overseas and will harm American fuel manufacturers and their employees."
