The Hill: Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) said Thursday that he intends to hold a hearing on the State Departments review of the proposed Keystone XL oil sands pipeline. I am sure that at some point we will, Menendez told The Hill in the Capitol. We want to review their process, especially as they go into the next phase, he said of the State Departments review of TransCanada Corp.s proposed pipeline. The hearing would ensure an even greater spotlight on...

Canada Intensifies Keystone Lobbying Campaign
2013-03-08 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Postmedia: As the decision on the Keystone XL pipeline nears, Canadian governments have launched an intense if not desperate lobbying campaign in the United States designed to persuade influential American politicians and industrial leaders that the pipeline is vital for U.S. security and economic interests and is also an environmentally responsible energy source. The goal is to counter the rising influence of environmental groups such as the prominent Sierra Club and 350.org, whose leaders have lobbied...

Canada: Environmental Justice and the Keystone XL Pipeline
2013-03-07 21:34:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: On March 1, in an unexpected move, President Obamas U.S. Department of State released its draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the proposed Keystone XL pipeline section that will cross the U.S. and Canadian border in Montana and travel into Steele City, Nebraska. First and foremost, the SEIS report defies common sense with the statement that reads the proposed Project is unlikely to have a substantial impact on the rate of development in the oil sands, and gravely understates...

Keystone Pipeline Decision May Influence Oil-Sands Development
2013-03-07 08:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: A U.S. decision on whether to approve TransCanada Corp. (TRP)s Keystone XL pipeline has the potential to accelerate -- or slow --investments in Canadas oil sands. A decision on the 875-mile (1,408 kilometer) U.S. portion of the pipeline, designed to carry 830,000 barrels of crude a day to Gulf Coast refineries, is expected later this year. Stopping the pipeline would mean continued discounted prices for Canadian crude, making it harder for producers to sell their commodity at a profit and potentially...

Environmentalists Mull Legal Action Over Keystone XL Process
2013-03-07 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: After the Keystone XL oil pipeline cleared an important hurdle last week, critics of the project are searching for ways to force more of the delays that have dogged it for more than four years already. The State Department said Friday that TransCanada Corp's pipeline from the Alberta oil sands to Texas would not add to global greenhouse gas emissions because oil sands crude will make it to market whether or not the project is built. That interpretation neutralized a major argument that many...
