Bloomberg: Environmentalists reacted swiftly to downplay a bipartisan Senate vote backing the Keystone XL pipeline, which supporters said underscored widening political support for the project. The Senate approved 62-37 language that encourages development of the $5.3 billion pipeline, which would link Albertas oil sands and refineries along the Gulf Coast.

The Hill: The Senate went on record against imposing taxes on industrial carbon emissions in a pair of symbolic votes Friday, providing clear evidence that major climate change legislation lacks political traction. Lawmakers voted 41-58 to reject Sen. Sheldon Whitehouses (D-R.I.) proposal to ensure that revenue from any carbon tax be returned to the U.S. public through deficit reduction, reducing other rates and other direct benefits. Thirteen Democrats joined 45 Republicans opposing the Whitehouse...
