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...

It takes a lot of energy to get it out of the ground and turn it into gasoline, so it has a bigger greenhouse gas footprint than conventional oil.

Industry analyst Kevin Book of ClearView Energy Partners says that finding will...

Guardian: It's been 114 days since Barack Obama promised on the night of his re-election to protect future generations from in his words "the destructive power of a warming planet". It's been 38 days since he renewed and expanded on that promise on inauguration day, 16 days since he told Congress straight up in his State of the Union address: act on climate change or I will. But when it comes to spelling out the actions Obama intends to take on climate change, exactly how he intends to use his executive...
