Pipeline roiling politics as Keystone XL awaits decision
Obama paused Keystone XL over cross border routing and Nebraska Sandhills concerns. TransCanada split the project into two segments with southern construction set for August while the northern leg awaits approval. Public pressure from both parties grows as unions and oil states back the plan and landowners mobilize against eminent domain fears. Moody’s predicts a delayed approval, with an eventual State Department decision anticipated in early 2013. Public hearings in Nebraska mark the route’s final stage before Gov. Heineman issues a verdict.
