Pastor Richard Gerten of Family Bible Church of Marshall offered the following invocation:
Our Heavenly Father, today we welcome You to this place of leadership. In doing so, I give You thanks for this day that You have created and for the opportunity that You have afforded each and every one of us here together in service to You, each other, and the citizens of the state of Michigan. I thank You for the Senators, their support staff, our Governor, those who serve in the House, and all who make up our state government. Help all to remember that You are the source of all wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. As a prophet, Isaiah proclaimed that as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are Your ways and thoughts far above our thoughts. You not only see today, but You see our tomorrows.
I, therefore, ask You this day to impart Your ways, Your thoughts, wisdom, understanding, and knowledge on those who compose this governing body; that they may govern with the wisdom that comes from above, knowing that their decisions not only affect this day, but the days to come. Help each of us to remember that ultimately we serve You and will answer to You for the decisions that we make, whether great or small.
Dear Lord, in these days when in the world we see terror, we thank You for Your protection You have afforded us in our state and in the United States of America, and we ask You for the same protection in the days that are to come. I especially want to thank You for those who serve in the military from the state of Michigan, and I ask for Your protection and care upon them as well.
We submit this session to You, seeking Your blessing and direction. May You be the source of inspiration and cooperation for the Senate, for the state of Michigan, and the issues before them. Thank You for hearing us as we pray.
I ask these things in the name of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
The President, Lieutenant Governor Calley, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Meeting held on Thursday, March 5, 2015, at 9:15 a.m., Room 210, Farnum Building
Present: Senators Casperson (C), Horn, Pavlov, Marleau and Hopgood
The Committee on Energy and Technology reported
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 4.
A concurrent resolution to memorialize the President of the United States and the U.S. Congress to support the continued and increased development and importation of oil derived from North American reserves and to urge the U.S. Secretary of State to approve the newly-routed Keystone XL pipeline application from TransCanada.
(For text of resolution, see Senate Journal No. 6, p. 80.)
With the recommendation that the following substitute (S-1) be adopted and that the concurrent resolution then be adopted:
A concurrent resolution to urge the U.S. Congress to override the President of the United States’ veto of the Keystone XL pipeline application legislation and to encourage members of the U.S. Congress who did not originally support the legislation to vote in favor of it.
Whereas, The United States relies—and will continue to rely for many years—on gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, as well as renewable and alternative sources of energy. In order to fuel our economy, the United States will need more oil and natural gas while also requiring additional alternative energy sources; and
Whereas, The United States accounts for around 20 percent of world energy consumption and is the world’s largest petroleum consumer. The United States consumes more than 18 million barrels of oil each day, and forecasts suggest this will not change for decades. Current crude oil imports amount to about 8 million barrels each day, approximately 45 percent of U.S. requirements. Even with new technology, oil discoveries, alternative fuels, and conservation efforts, the United States will remain dependent on imported energy for decades to come. A secure supply of crude oil is not only needed for Americans to continue to heat their homes, cook their food, and drive their vehicles, but to allow the U.S. economy to thrive and grow free from the potential threats and disruptions of crude oil supply from less secure parts of the world; and
Whereas, The growing production of conflict-free oil from Canada’s oil sands and the Bakken Formation in Saskatchewan, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota can replace crude imported from countries that do not share American values. However, additional pipeline capacity to refineries in the U.S. Midwest and Gulf Coast is required; and
Whereas, Increasing energy imports from Canada makes sense for the United States. Canada is a trusted neighbor with a stable democratic government, strong environmental standards—equal to that of the United States—and some of the most stringent human rights and worker protection laws in the world; and
Whereas, Improvements in production technology have reduced the carbon footprint of Canadian oil sands development by 26 percent on a per-barrel basis since 1990. Oil sands production accounts for 6.9 percent of Canada’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and 0.1 percent, or one-thousandth, of global GHG emissions. Total emissions from Canada’s oil sands sector was 61 megatons in 2012, equivalent to about 0.9 percent of U.S. GHG emissions. Oil sands crude has similar carbon dioxide emissions to other heavy oils and is 9 percent more carbon-intensive than the average crude refined in the United States on a wells-to-wheels basis; and
Whereas, The 56 refineries in the Gulf Coast region provide a total refining capacity of approximately 9.2 million barrels per day (bpd), or half of U.S. refining capacity. In 2013, these refineries imported approximately 3.8 million bpd of crude oil from more than 30 countries, with the top three suppliers being Saudi Arabia (25 percent), Mexico (22 percent), and Venezuela (19 percent). Imports from Mexico and Venezuela are declining as production from these countries decreases and supply contracts expire. Once completed, TransCanada’s Keystone XL and Gulf Coast Expansion projects could displace roughly 40 percent of the oil the United States currently imports from the Persian Gulf and Venezuela; and
Whereas, The Keystone XL pipeline project has been subject to the most thorough public consultation process of any proposed U.S. pipeline and the subject of multiple environmental impact statements and several U.S. Department of State studies. These analyses have concluded that it poses the least impact to the environment and is much safer than other modes of transporting crude oil; and
Whereas, Pipelines are the safest method for the transportation of petroleum products when compared to other methods of transportation. The Keystone XL pipeline will replace the equivalent of 200 ocean tankers per year. This will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 19 million tons, or the equivalent of taking almost 4 million cars off the road; and
Whereas, The original Keystone pipeline, which spans across the northern part of Missouri, supplies over 435,000 bpd of North American crude oil to American refineries in the Midwest. The Keystone XL pipeline will, when completed, have the capacity to carry over 800,000 bpd of North American crude oil to American refineries in the Gulf Coast region which will make its way back to Missouri in the form of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel; and
Whereas, The Keystone XL project will create approximately 9,000 construction jobs. The Gulf Coast project is a $2.3 billion project that will create approximately 4,000 construction jobs. Combined, they support yet another 7,000 manufacturing jobs. Seventy-five percent of the pipe used to build the Keystone XL application in the United States will come from North American mills, including half made by U.S. workers. Goods for the pipeline, valued at approximately $800 million, have already been sourced from U.S. manufacturers; and
Whereas, The U.S. Congress recently passed legislation, the S.1 Keystone XL Pipeline Approval Act, approving construction of the Keystone XL pipeline application. However, the President vetoed the bill on February 24, 2015; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we urge the U.S. Congress to override the President of the United States’ veto of the Keystone XL pipeline application legislation and encourage members of the U.S. Congress who did not originally support the legislation to vote in favor of it so the necessary two-thirds majority is achieved in each chamber; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to members of the U.S. Congress and the President of the United States.
