Keystone XL pipeline prompts debate over federal review
The proposed seven billion dollar Keystone XL project spans 1700 miles from Alberta to the Gulf Coast, drawing critique from environmentalists and a prolonged State Department review. Proponents cite thousands of construction jobs and energy diversification while opponents warn of risks to water sources like the Ogallala Aquifer and accuse delays of political wrangling. The process stresses the national interest determination amid eight volume environmental statements and ongoing information gathering.

It cites a 0.5 percent tax on financial trades proposed by National Nurses United, notes the Internet sales tax issue, and highlights Cayman Islands corporations and GE as examples of favorable tax arrangements.
