Trump: Keystone Will ‘Have the Capacity to Delivery More than 800,000 Barrels/Day’

‘Today we begin to make things right and to do things right’

EXCERPT: 
TRUMP: "When completed, the Keystone XL pipeline will span 900 miles -- wow -- and have the capacity to deliver more than 800,000 of barrels of oil per day to the gulf coast refineries. That's some big pipeline. The fact is that this $8 billion investment in American energy was delayed for so long it demonstrates how our government has too often failed its citizens and companies over the past long period of time. Today, we begin to make things right and to do things right. Today we take one more step in putting the jobs, wages and economic security of American citizens first. Put America first. And as the Keystone XL pipeline now moves forward, this is just the first of many energy and infrastructure projects that my administration will approve and we have already approved a couple of other big ones, very, very big ones which we’ll be announcing soon, in order to help put Americans back to work, grow our economy and rebuild our nation. And with that, I would like to invite Russ to say a few words. Russ is a very highly-respected man in the energy world. He’s president of TransCanada. And I know you will do a fantastic job, Russ, get it up and hire plenty of American people. Thank you.”
