this is a $7 billion private sector investment, not one penny of government spending

the Keystone XL pipeline will lower gas prices, not may will lower gas prices

I see I am over my time, Mr. Chairman. I will defer for a second round if that's the wishes of the Chair.

You're saying you're willing to build all kinds of pipelines, but you're unwilling to build a pipeline that will bring 830,000 barrels a day into this country from our closest friend and trading partner, Canada.

I thank Senator Isakson and ask the Senator if he has any more he wants to add. I know the Senator has to leave and is on a tight timetable.
