The group, the Center for Biological Diversity, hopes the video will go viral and says its aimed at stirring up enough public awareness of the pipeline industrys troubles to put pressure on three key Democratic senators Bill Nelson of Florida, Michael Bennet of Colorado and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota...

EcoWatch: In an interview with the New York Times on July 27, President Obama asserted that construction of the Keystone XL pipeline would create approximately 2,000 jobs.

President Obamas statement that the Keystone...

Canada's No. 2 pipeline company said "strong market support" convinced it to build the 1.1-million-barrel-per-day Energy East Pipeline, which will bring crude from Alberta to refineries in Eastern Canada and to a new deepwater oil terminal on the Atlantic for export...

Reuters: TransCanada Corp on Thursday said it would move ahead with a $12 billion oil pipeline to ship Western Canada's oil sands crude to refiners on its east coast and beyond, scaling up the project as its U.S.-bound Keystone XL line stalls in Washington. TransCanada, Canada's No. 2 pipeline company, said it would push ahead with a 1.1-million-barrel-per-day Energy East Pipeline after "strong market support." That is more than the 850,000 bpd capacity TransCanada mentioned in April, when it first began...
