One Year Later Noem Still Critical Of Biden Decision To End Keystone XL Pipeline

PIERRE — It’s been one year since President Joe Biden was sworn into office. One of his first acts as president was to shut down construction of the Keystone X-L oil pipeline, which was going to run through parts of Haakon, Jones, Lyman and Tripp Counties. Governor Kristi Noem was critical of that decision at the time, and still is today…

Noem says shutting down construction of the pipeline was not only a loss for South Dakota, but also the country as a whole…

The pipeline’s backer, T-C Energy, officially abandoned the project in June 2021.
