Keystone XL Could Kill More U.S. Jobs Than It Creates [AUDIO]
The U.S. State Department is reviewing the pipeline proposal and, along with President Obama, must determine if the project is in the national interest before issuing a decision.

Sweeney says the construction of Keystone XL Pipeline will create far fewer jobs in the U.S. than its proponents have claimed and may actually destroy more jobs than it generates.
