Obama Administration Rejects Keystone XL Pipeline Permit

摘要

U.S. President Barack Obama on January 18 rejected the permitting of TransCanada Corp.’s Keystone XL pipeline, a decision welcomed by environmental groups but blasted by the domestic energy industry. The project has been delayed amid objections by environmental groups and the U.S. State of Nebraska. At the end of 2011, Republicans forced a final decision on the plan within 60 days during a legislative stand-off.
