EcoWatch: The State Department today released the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline project. The controversial project would carry as much as 830,000 barrels of tar sands oil per day from Alberta, Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast. The State Departments Final Supplemental EIS concluded that the pipeline wouldnt increase the rate of extraction of tar sands and thus isnt likely to significantly increase carbon pollution. The idea that this...

State Dept. Delivers Unwelcome News For Keystone Opponents
2014-01-31 22:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: The U.S. State Department made a much-anticipated announcement on the Keystone XL pipeline on Friday. Its report finds that while the heavy crude oil that the pipeline will carry from Canada is dirtier than regular crude, stopping the pipeline won't keep that crude in the ground. There are other ways besides the pipeline that will likely keep the heavy crude business afloat. This decision won't please opponents of the pipeline, nor does it give the go-ahead to the project. Secretary of State John...

Because the northern...

Report May Ease Way to Approval of Keystone Pipeline
2014-01-31 20:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: In his second term, Mr. Obama has sought to make his fight against climate change a cornerstone of his legacy. In a major speech on the environment last summer, Mr. Obama said that he would approve the pipeline only if it would not "significantly exacerbate" the problem of carbon pollution. He said the pipeline's net effects on the climate would be "absolutely critical" to his decision. The conclusions of the report appear to indicate that the project has passed Mr. Obama's climate criteria,...

Keystone report raises pressure on Obama to approve pipeline
2014-01-31 17:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Pressure for President Barack Obama to approve the Keystone XL pipeline increased on Friday after a State Department report played down the impact it would have on climate change, irking environmentalists and delighting the project's proponents. The agency made no recommendation on whether Obama should grant or deny an application by TransCanada Corp to build the $5.4 billion line, which would transport crude from Alberta's oil sands to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast. But the State Department...
