Obama to weigh Keystone XL in national interest
Obama tied the Keystone XL pipeline to climate policy, stating the project only serves U S interests if it does not significantly worsen carbon pollution. He rejected flat earth rhetoric, faced mixed reactions from Republicans and industry groups, and announced steps to boost renewables and fuel efficiency while ordering EPA rule revisions on power plant emissions. The plan aims to accelerate clean energy and set a path to reduce emissions without new Congress action.
