Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen is calling on President Joe Biden to reconsider his revocation of a key permit for construction of the Keystone XL pipeline and said he and 14 other attorneys general are reviewing available legal options to “protect our residents and sovereign interests.”
Biden revoked the permit on his first day in office. Republicans, and some Democrats, have pushed back on the move while environmentalists have cheered the revocation, arguing that it brought in Canadian oil produced from carbon-intensive tar sands.
