More than two dozen Republican senators are calling for a meeting with President Joe Biden to discuss the new administration’s recent executive orders and regulatory actions, which they worry could have devastating effects on American families whose livelihood is tied to the domestic energy sector.
In a letter to Biden, 26 senators from states where economic growth and employment heavily rely on the oil and gas industry, wrote that they were “surprised” by the president’s actions that could put “hundreds of thousands of” energy jobs in their states at risk.
“Your actions will have grave consequences for our constituents, and taking these actions on your very first week as President, with no input from those of us who represent these hard working Americans is counter to the desires of the American people who want practical, bipartisan solutions to our nation’s challenges, and who want policies that support working families,” the letter reads.
The senators, including Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who chairs Senate’s energy committee, particularly took issue with the decision to scrap the $8 billion Keystone XL pipeline project, part of the Biden administration’s effort to address climate change. If built as planned, the 1,200-mile pipeline would have delivered more than 830,000 barrels of oil each day from Alberta, Canada, to Southeastern Nebraska.
President Donald Trump restarted the Keystone project almost 4 years ago via an executive order. He said at the time that he expected the pipeline to create 28,000 construction jobs.

Oooh now Republicans are going to get tough...Ooooh Joe is so scared.
Should have thought before certifying fraud.
Joe isn’t meeting with anybody to explain any of “his” decisions because (1) they aren’t his, and (2) he couldn’t explain what he had for breakfast.
Biden won’t know what the hell they are talking about he has NO IDEA what the hell he signed!! He may have a meeting with them but won’t remember an hour after they leave the office!!
Hey Alex, can I get useless gestures for a thousand?
They probably just want to see if he can hold a 20 minute face to face conversation without nodding off or rambling on or reading from a script.
Don’ meet with him, Sue his Administration like the DEMONcRATS did to POTUS Trump.
We HAD a president who cared about energy independence, secure borders, fair trade deals.... seems like only yesterday...
Hope the meeting will be live or at least taped.
No one meets with Joe while he watches cartoons
Jim Robinson told me to stop using the outline.com link because it is a direct violation of the consent decree.
Nothing but Kabuki.
Princess Lisa didn’t even support Trump. Biden is delivering what he promised. Therefore, she owns it too.
Shame on America for the travesty of this man in the white house. The theft of an election by a walking cadaver who cannot even put a sentence together, much less have a semblance of a right mind. Woe is us....
Wow, did not know that. I’ll stop.
She is trying to look tough for the primary in 2022. Hope Alaskans remember.
That’s what I said. 😎
They should be meeting with president harris if they want some one to pay attention.
