what it means to vermont is not different from what it means to north dakota south dakota, or new hampshire or wyoming. the challenge in rural states is 80% of our transportation network, 3.1 million miles of roads, and thousands and thousands and thousands of bridges, runs through our roughly states. so if you take vermont as an example, when we're talking about crumbling infrastructure, you can say, well, you know, vermont doesn't have that many people. so, you know why does it really matter in the nation's economy. well, it matters not only to vermonters' quality of life, but we have as an example and many other rural states are in the same boat, bordering canada, we are the transportation conduit to our biggest trading partner in america. canada. projections going forward in the next three decades, we're going to see our freight transportation increase by 50%. and we have a crumbling infrastructure right now. so in terms of jobs and prosperity the rural states actually carry a bigger burden, because we've got more to maintain, and we all know that that infrastructure is crumbling. and i

i thank the senator from north dakota. i know we're going to be going back and forth on this issue and that we have speakers coming later this morning and we're going to have time divided but i appreciate the senator of north dakota allowing us to join in the debate this morning and make a few mountains. and i do want to say i appreciate the senator from north dakota's hard work on the energy committee in general and i look forward to working with him on many energy policies. he and i have worked together on a couple of different agricultural issues, and i certainly appreciate his due diligence. but needless to say i don't agree with the process of moving forward with this motion to proceed to the keystone pipeline bill. many of my colleagues here are going to be coming down, talking about the issues. two of my colleagues including the senators from utah and arkansas along with the senator of north dakota, brought up a couple of different points, but in my mind, they are talking about a 19th century energy policy in fossil

north dakota senator john hoeven is a sponsor of the bill. he spoke on the floor, along with supporters and those who opposed the legislation. this is a little less than two hours. senator joe manchin and actually a total of 60 sponsors, i have filed s. 1, which is the keystone approval bill. it's a very simple, straightforward bill. this is legislation that we've seen before in this body. what it does is under the commerce clause of the constitution it authorizes congress to approve the keystone x.l. pipeline project. i have got this chart here to show you the project. it runs from hardisty in alberta, canada, all the way down to our refineries in texas along the gulf coast. this project will move 830,000 barrels of oil a day. some of that will be oil from canada. some of that will be domestic oil from the back an region -- bakken region in montana and north dakota. this is part of the building the infrastructure so we can build a comprehensive energy plan for our country. we're producing more and more oil and gas in our country from the sha

i yield back to the senator from north dakota. mr. hoeven: you're hearing from somebody who's there, who is a talking to the people, where this project is going to be located. one of the states that it passes through. so i thank him for his perspective and for his hard work and commend him for being here and for his continued efforts, not toll not only to work with our caucus but to reach out to the democratic caucus as well and find common ground on this important issue. something that the senator from west virginia said just a minute ago is let's focus on the facts. let's focus on the facts. because i think the more understanding we create as to what the facts are this gets done on the merits. so i want to turn to the senator from wyoming somebody who's got long experience with energy, somebody who comes from an energy state a state that produces a variety of energy sourcessers and pose the same question to him and in terms of focusing on the facts whether it is the environmental aspect, whether it is the jobs, whether it's making o

in the republican response, the center from north dakota outlines the benefits of the keystone xl pipeline. >> hi, everybody. about a year ago, i promised that 2014 would be a breakthrough year for america. and this week, we got more evidence to back that up. in december, our businesses created 240,000 new jobs. the unemployment rate fell to 5.6%. that means that 2014 was the strongest year for job growth since the 1990s. in 2014, unemployment fell faster than it has in three decades. over a 58-month streak, our businesses have created 11.2 million new jobs. after a decade of decline, american manufacturing is in its best stretch of job growth since the '90s. america is now the world's number one producer of oil and gas, helping to save drivers about a buck-ten a gallon at the pump over this time last year. thanks to the affordable care act, about 10 million americans have gained health insurance in the past year alone. we have cut our deficits by about two-thirds. and after 13 long years, our war in afghanistan has come to a responsible end, and more of our brave troops have come home. it

>> let me ask you this i spent the last week week and a half ago in north dakota.th dakota's entire economy is propped up on oil and they have unemployment below 1%. oil is below 50 bucks and they're seeing thousands and thousands of layoffs. when you look at january to november of last year only 27% of the oil that we used in this country is from elsewhere and we have a booming, you know native oil industry in this country and we're seeing some of these rigs shut off because the price of oil is so low. is now the time to be fighting for this? >> well think about the benefit that the public is enjoying from the fact that we are producing more. you're seeing lower prices at the pump and people appreciate that. that's more money in their pockets so when we talk about supply mattering, it matters if it comes from this country. so we have these jobs so we can again, work to not only reduce costs to american family but to have good jobs that are out there. >> but senator -- >> we have the opportunity to access the resources. >> serb tor, before i let you go we're seeing

north dakota really, really needs you.this is a job listing for inspector for the smaller variety of pipelines that crisscross the state transferring oil and gas and saltwater and all other kinds of stuff related to drilling. there are 20,000 miles of what they call gathering pipelines, these smaller pipelines all across north dakota. 20,000 miles. they estimate there will be 50,000 miles before long. the total number of people currently employed by the state to inspect those pipelines is europe. the state posted for an inspector for the larger natural pipelines. that department is doing a little better. they've got two inspector jobs and one of them's filled. so, yeah, maybe it's not that surprising to learn that one of the five pipelines that has burst so far this month in this country, the one that spilled 3 million gallons of toxic drilling brine near the town of williston, north dakota, this month, that pipeline was never inspected. it has never had an inspection, ever. north dakota's in the midst of a drilling boom.

the senator from north dakota for her remarks. the "washington times" does today president and ceo of the american petroleum institute said falling oil prices have empowered the united states and weakened opec and russia underscore russia and increased u.s. production has fundamentally reordered the world market. this is a national security issue. this is an issue where russia and i think the breakeven point for them is 110 barrels per oil. they never thought this would happen. their entire economy is at stake and hopefully it would cause mr. vladimir putin to stop and think a minute about some of the antics around the world and in addition the pipeline represents not only the pipeline and everything to distinguish senator has brought up but really a symbol that says we are going to go ahead with all of our energy production and we are going to go all of the above here. this is an either/or with green projects are fossil fuels or whatever so if you vote for the pipeline you are voting for something that affects our national securi

it should be shell producers in north dakota should cut back to help oil production. prince from saudi arabia said one of the positive side affects is that we'll see how many shell oil production companies run out of business. what is your reaction to that? >> as americans we are appreciating the lower gas prices but we are in a energy war here. we have changed the nature of energy with oil from shell like the bak en and eagle ferd. it is interesting that opec talk about north dakota and talk about what we are doing. we have to try and maintain and cut our costs and buckle down the hatches here to make the oil plays more competitive at lower prices and everybody should recognize it is a world issue and we are strongly in support of exports of crude oil. that would strengthen america's place in the world in terms of deliveries. >> i am serious about the final point. you described it as a energy war. what do you need help to make sure you don't go out of business and you don't have too many of your industry go out of business? >> one thing we can do in america, we have

[roll call] states as we sometimes forget that 80% of our transportation network with thousands and thousands of bridges are rural states so if you take vermont as an example when we talk about infrastructure you can say vermont doesn't have that many people so why does it matter? it matters not only to vermonters quality of life that we have an example in many of the rural states bordering canada where the transportation transportation's conduit to our biggest trading partner in america, canada. we project going forward that in the next three decades we are going to see our freight transportation increase by 50% and we have a crumbling infrastructure right now. in terms of jobs and prosperity the states carry a bigger burden because we have more to maintain and we all know that infrastructures come bowling and it has to be rebuilt. so i just want to make a point that when you look at this challenge of reauthorizing the transportation trust fund is important

oil from north dakota and montana out of the bakken formation, our state alone north dakota produces 1.2 million barrels of oil a day. that's how much oil we produce in our state. second only to the state of texas. 1.2 million barrels of oil a day we produce but because we don't have enough pipelines, we have to move 700,000 barrels a day on rail. now we're trying to move a.g. ag goods, we have all kinds of other products we produce with the states in our region, south dakota minnesota montana but we have tremendous congestion on our rails because we're putting more and more oil on rails. 700,000 barrels a day's a and growing as we to ingrow our production. so we need more pipelines. what you see on this diagram is the original keystone pipeline that was constructed and built when i was governor of north dakota and this yellow line shows the sister pipeline we're trying to build. but as you can see this goes right through our state and of course the new pipeline goes right next to our state but the whole point is we want to put 100,000 barrels a day, at least for starters, 100,000 ba

we've studied this in great depth in north dakota. so from an environmental standpoint it is better. with regard to the price of the oil, that is a compelling reason to approve more pipelines. the difference in moving oil by train versus a pipeline is the difference of $10. now you have that margin -- you have a little bit of wiggle room at $100 a barrel. you have none at $50 a barrel, or $40 a barrel. the other thing we haven't talked about is that one of the negotiated deals between the states of north dakota and montana in support of this process 2,301 days ago with transport with canada at least 100,000 barrels of day for capacity would be reserved is for bach and crude. we now move 70% of bach and crude by rail. we've all seen challenges with rail. safety is a major one. but 71% clogs a transportation system that is equipped, and frankly, required to move food to hungry people, commodities to markets, around the world. that 100,000 barrels of capacity a day freed up off our railroads is ten trains a week moving food rather than o
