Associated Press: President Barack Obama said Tuesday that the proposed Keystone XL pipeline project from Canada to Texas should only be approved if it doesn't worsen carbon pollution. The $7 billion pipeline has become a contentious issue, with Republicans touting the jobs it would create and demanding its approval and environmentalists urging the Obama administration to reject it, because it would carry carbon-intensive oil from Canadian tar sands to the Texas Gulf Coast. "Allowing the Keystone pipeline to...

"Our national interest will be served only if this project does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution," he said in a speech on energy policy at Georgetown University. "The net effects of the pipeline's impact on our climate will be absolutely critical to determining whether this project is allowed to go forward." The...

Keystone XL pipeline: Did Obama just drop a big hint about his decision?
2013-06-25 20:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: President Obama broke his silence on the Keystone XL pipeline Tuesday, saying that the controversial project should be approved only if it will not produce a net increase in greenhouse gas emissions. The politically charged issue has hung over the Obama administration for years, as environmentalists have competed with energy interests and some labor unions for the presidents ear and public opinion. If approved by the State Department and ultimately by the president the pipeline would carry...
