Can Congress overrule Obama on Keystone XL?
2013-04-11 15:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: As the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy and Power takes up legislation Wednesday to force approval of the Keystone XL pipeline extension, the bill raises a key question: can Congress wrest the Keystone decision away from President Obama?
