Tom Steyer Defends Clinton Not Taking Stance on Keystone Pipeline

Steyer Defends Clinton Not Taking Stance on Keystone (The Washington Free Beacon)

Billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer defended Hillary Clinton’s silence on the Keystone XL pipeline Tuesday, despite previously criticizing the project and pouring tens of millions of dollars into campaigns to kill the pipeline.

“What Hillary Clinton has said is that she didn’t want to give an opinion on this because she was part of the [review] process when she was running the State Department.

“She’s also said recently that if the president and the administration don’t come out with a ruling on Keystone that she’ll make her feelings known,” Steyer said. “So I think it’s only appropriate to take her at her word that. A., she feels it’s inappropriate at this time to make a decision on Keystone and, B., that at some point she feels it will be appropriate.”
