Edmonton Journal: TransCanada Corp., the company that has been trying for seven years to build the Keystone XL pipeline, says it is not ready yet to throw in the towel on the massive energy project despite its formal rejection Friday by U.S. President Barack Obama. Today, misplaced symbolism was chosen over merit and science rhetoric won out over reason, TransCanada Corp. president and CEO Russ Girling said in a statement issued shortly after Obamas White House news conference to announce his decision on the...

Keystone XL wasnt about jobs or the climate it was all politics

FiveThirtyEight: During Keystone XLs seven-year review process, the pipelines political significance ballooned far beyond its measurable consequences. In partisan narratives, it was often framed as a fight pitting jobs against the climate and energy security against environmental concerns. In reality, the pipeline stood to make little difference in any of these arenas. On Friday, President Obama announced that he was rejecting TransCanadas request to build the 1,179-mile Keystone XL pipeline. It would have...

It should have been a shoo-in for presidential...

Size of Keystone XL pipeline fight overshadows impact
2015-11-07 09:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Columbus Dispatch: The fight over the Keystone XL pipeline had all the elements of a classic Washington scrap: protests, political ads and lobbyists on retainer. What was sometimes missing in the seven-year struggle, energy analysts say, was an accurate accounting of the projects impact on the environment or the economy, the twin issues that drove the debate. Environmentalists said Keystone XL, which TransCanada Corp. first applied to build in 2008, raised the risks of climate change. But a U.S. environmental review...
