Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen believes President Biden didn’t look into “the legalities” or “the effects on the ground” before choosing to halt the Keystone XL pipeline project.
Knudsen, who is leading the effort to overturn Biden’s executive order with a dozen other state attorneys general, said the economic impact of this on his state is “huge,” pointing to a loss of jobs and tax revenue.
“Keystone XL was set to become the largest property taxpayer in [five of the poorest] counties,” he said. “And with the stroke of a pen, President Biden took that away.”
