State Dept. Delivers Unwelcome News For Keystone Opponents
2014-01-31 22:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: The U.S. State Department made a much-anticipated announcement on the Keystone XL pipeline on Friday. Its report finds that while the heavy crude oil that the pipeline will carry from Canada is dirtier than regular crude, stopping the pipeline won't keep that crude in the ground. There are other ways besides the pipeline that will likely keep the heavy crude business afloat. This decision won't please opponents of the pipeline, nor does it give the go-ahead to the project. Secretary of State John...

Bloomberg: Even the timing is too much: 3 p.m. on a Friday. And not just any Friday--the one just before the Super Bowl. Thats when--moments ago; go Seahawks!--the U.S. Department of State decided to release its hotly anticipated report on the environmental safety of the Keystone XL, the $5.4 billion, 875-mile final leg of a network of pipelines carrying Alberta crude to refineries and tankers in Port Arthur, Tex. Its genius. You can almost hear a State Department bureaucrat telling her colleagues: Well...
Obamas Keystone Options Shrink as State Downplays Impact
2014-01-31 14:26:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: President Barack Obama is in no hurry to decide whether construction of TransCanada Corp.s $5.4 billion Keystone XL pipeline serves U.S. national interests, the next step in the process of measuring its worthiness. Even so, an environmental report released today by the U.S. State Department noting only limited impact on carbon emissions from the project is diminishing the rationale Obama could use to reject it. I cant imagine the president standing up and saying, I dont see a problem on...
