Full Story 38 MN Representatives and Senators sent letter to President Biden calling on him to Cancel Line 3Below is the letter sent to President Biden from 38 MN Representatives and Senators regarding line 3: February 5, 2021 Dear President Biden, We are writing to thank you for your decision to rejoin the Paris Climate Accords and to reject the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. These are encouraging steps to re-establish our country's credibility on climate change, perhaps the most serious challenge of our time. As state legislators from Minnesota, we write today to call your attention to another significant action your administration can take at this moment to address the climate crisis. We are requesting that your administration halt construction of the Line 3 pipeline, a massive tar sands oil project in Northern Minnesota that is effectively a KXL clone. Line 3 would be the same diameter as KXL and would carry the same heavy crude through the U.S. Midwest with the same motive of enabling further expansion of the Canadian tar sands industry, a move that would leave "no possible pathway to achieving the Paris goals."
