Senators push Keystone XL as GOP gains Senate control
U S Senators Moran and Roberts predicted quick Senate approval of the Keystone XL oil pipeline after Republicans win control in January. They voted for a measure to approve the project, but it failed 59 to 41 in a Democratic Senate, with 60 needed to advance to President Obama. TransCanada already runs a Kansas pipeline set online in 2011, and Gov. Brownback also supports the project. Roberts touted his pro keystone stance during his reelection against Greg Orman.
