Reject Keystone XL Pipeline, We Need Radical Change to Prevent Catastrophic Warming
2014-11-17 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
AlterNet: House lawmakers passed legislation Friday to approve the Keystone XL oil pipeline to bring carbon-intensive tar sands oil from Alberta, Canada, to the Texas Gulf Coast. The Senate is expected to vote this week on a similar pro-Keystone bill backed by Louisiana Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu. Landrieu is facing a tough battle to keep her seat in a runoff next month against Republican Rep. Bill Cassidy, who also happens to be the sponsor of the pro-Keystone bill in the House. Landrieu spoke last week...

S Dakota Sioux tribe calls Keystone XL pipeline approval 'act of war'
2014-11-17 19:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: A Native American tribe in South Dakota has called a congressional vote to approve the Keystone XL pipeline an act of war and vowed to close the reservations borders if the US government tries to install a pipeline there. The prospective route for the pipeline, which would connect Canadian tar sands fields to the Gulf coast, runs through the 922,759-acre (1,442 sq mi) Rosebud Sioux reservation in south-central South Dakota. The House of Representatives voted 252-161 on Friday to approve the...
Why the Democrats are stupid to allow a Senate vote on Keystone
2014-11-17 12:08:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: Last week, the Democrats came up with the following stroke of strategic brilliance: Use their last remaining days in control of the Senate to do exactly what the Republicans want to do - push the Keystone XL pipeline forward. Why, you ask? Sen. Mary Landrieu, an oil-loving Democrat from the oil-loving state of Louisiana, is poised to lose her runoff race next month and therefore her seat. She thinks pushing a guaranteed-to-fail vote to approve the pipeline will turn her race around. She convinced...
Congress is voting on Keystone pipeline, but obscure Nebraska panel could still hold sway

Congress is suddenly scrambling to vote on the Keystone XL oil pipeline, but the fate of the oft-delayed $5.4 billion project could still wind up in the hands of an obscure commission in Nebraska that regulates telephones, taxi cabs and grain bins. The Nebraska Supreme Court is expected to rule within weeks on whether the Nebraska Public Service Commission must review the pipeline before it can cross the state, one of six on the pipeline's route.

Keystone Left Behind as Canadian Crude Pours Into U.S.: Energy
2014-11-15 00:09:20| Energy - Topix.net
Delays of the Keystone XL pipeline are providing little obstacle to Western Canadian oil producers getting their crude to the U.S. Gulf Coast, with shipments set to more than double next year. The volume of Canadian crude processed at Gulf Coast refineries could climb to more than 400,000 barrels a day in 2015 from 208,000 in August, according to Jackie Forrest, vice president of Calgary-based ARC Financial Corp. The increase comes as Enbridge Inc.'s Flanagan South and an expanded Seaway pipeline raise their capacity to ship oil by as much as 450,000 barrels a day.
