To defeat Keystone, environmental movement goes from beltway to grassroots

InsideClimate: As decision day nears on the Keystone XL oil pipeline, the environmental movement looks different than it did in 2009the last time a major climate policy fight took center stage in Washington. Then, the nation's largest green groups were the main engine behind a movement to pass federal climate change legislation. They spent vast quantities of financial and political capital lobbying congressional negotiators and corporations, before the bill failed in 2010. This time, the main force of opposition...

State Department Releases Keystone Pipeline Comments
2013-05-24 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: The U.S. State Department released about 100,000 public comments it has received on TransCanada Corp. (TRP)s proposed Keystone XL pipeline, the first batch of more than 1.2 million submitted to the agency on the project. The comments on a draft environmental impact study were posted yesterday on a government website a month after the State Department reversed an earlier decision not to release them. The agency said last night in a statement that it would publish comments in similarly sized batches...

Houston Chronicle: The southern leg of the Keystone XL pipeline is more than 75 percent complete and construction is proceeding on schedule, a spokesman for pipeline owner TransCanada told FuelFix. We have some pump stations to build, but weve made great strides on the pipeline itself, said David Dodson, a spokesman for the Canadian pipeline giant.

Analysis: Bill to Fast-Track Keystone Pipeline Loses Democratic Support. But Why?
2013-05-23 21:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
InsideClimate: Republicans in the House of Representatives pushed through a bill on Wednesday that would force federal approval of the Keystone XL pipeline without further review. The vote was 241 to 175. The legislation is the latest of several attempts by Congress to force the Obama administration's hand. It is unlikely to be taken up in the Senate and the White House has threatened a veto. If anything, the bill's backers may have lost ground this time, and ended up with a much more partisan divide. Only 19...

Keep climate change out of Keystone decision, GOP warns in letter to Obama
2013-05-23 18:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
The Hill: Two dozen Senate Republicans are warning President Obama not to link wholly unrelated climate change policies to approval of the proposed Keystone XL oil sands pipeline. You should approve the Keystone XL pipeline project on its merits alone without suddenly moving the goalposts after more than four years of review by tethering its fate to wholly unrelated and economically disastrous new regulatory policies, states the new letter to Obama led by Sens. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) and John Hoeven...
