Koch’s Keystone XL Connection | Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) has renewed his request that the House Committee on Energy and Commerce investigate the role of Koch Industries in the Keystone XL pipeline. “When I first raised this issue in May, representatives from Koch denied any interest in the pipeline and Chairman Upton called the idea that there could be a link between Koch and the pipeline an ‘outrageous accusation’ and a ‘blatant political sideshow,’” Waxman wrote in his letter. “Recently, however, I have become aware of evidence that appears to contradict the assertions of the Koch representatives and Chairman Upton.”
