Grist: The country`s leaders and its oil industry really, really want the Keystone XL pipeline built so they can ship tar-sands oil from Alberta to refineries along the Gulf Coast. But the Obama administration keeps postponing its decision on the pipeline. In his big climate speech in June, President Obama said he would approve Keystone only "if this project does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution."
