Reuters: TransCanada Corp's chief executive welcomed a favorable U.S. environmental review of the company's Keystone XL project on Friday, calling the report an important milestone for the final approval of the controversial pipeline.

Obamas Keystone Options Shrink as State Downplays Impact

Even so, an environmental report released today by the U.S. State Department noting only limited impact on carbon emissions from the project is diminishing the rationale Obama could use to reject it.
