Keystone Pipeline Decision to Languish Until Mid-June: US Source
2013-02-01 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The Obama administration's decision on the Keystone XL oil pipeline will not be made until at least June, a U.S. official said, which would delay the project for months and frustrate backers of Canada's oil sands. "We're talking the beginning of summer at the earliest," said the source, who did not want to be identified due to the sensitive nature of the TransCanada Corp project, which has been pending for more than four and a half years. "It's not weeks until the final decision. It's months."...

Three Senators Say No to John Kerry and Yes to Keystone XL
2013-01-31 16:27:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: The U.S. Senate overwhelmingly approved the nomination of Sen. John Kerry as the new Secretary of State, by a vote of 94-3. The three "no" votes were cast by infamous climate denier James Inhofe (R-OK), and two anti-environment Texas Republicans, John Cornyn and Ted Cruz. All three Republican Senators, Cornyn, Cruz and Inhofe signed the letter to President Obama last week calling for the approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, which would lead to the expansion of the Alberta tar sands, one of the...
Will Climate Change Hawk Kerry Kill Keystone XL?

Energy Collective: The Senate confirmed John Kerry as a Secretary of State by a vote of 94 to 3. I believe this is a turning point in the fight to stop the Keystone XL pipeline. Once again, I do not think that a man who had dedicated his Senate career to fighting catastrophic climate change would start his term as Secretary approving the expansion of one of the dirtiest sources of fossil fuels in the world. Keystone is a gateway to a huge pool of carbon-intensive fuel most of which must be left in the ground...
State Dept's Keystone XL Review Will Face EPA Scrutiny a Third Time
2013-01-30 09:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
InsideClimate News: One of the biggest unknowns in the unfolding Keystone XL debate is the role the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency might play. Because the Canada-to-Nebraska oil pipeline crosses an international border, the State Department, not the EPA, will decide whether to give the project the federal permit it needs. But the EPA can weigh in during the review, and its opinion will carry new weight now that the Obama administration has vowed to make climate change a national priority. The EPA's position...
House GOP, Citing North African Turmoil, Boosts Keystone XL Pressure on Obama
2013-01-30 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
The Hill: A mostly Republican group of House lawmakers is putting fresh pressure on President Obama to greenlight the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline, and a senior member said that another Capitol Hill hearing could be in the offing. In light of the recent events in North Africa, we need to be investing in energy infrastructure to control our own resources. We need to be able to move resources, not only from Canada, but from the many domestic shale plays that have recently come on line. We need to make...
