TransCanada Reapplies for Keystone XL Pipeline Permit; What Will Obama do now?
TransCanada Corp is taking its second shot at asking Washington to approve the contentious Keystone XL oil pipeline, betting that a new route through Nebraska and post-U.S. election time frame for a decision will push the project forward.
The reapplication to the U.S. State Department on Friday comes after Canada's largest pipeline company carved the proposal into two parts.
U.S. President Barack Obama rejected the full $7.6 billion project early this year due to concerns about the proposed northern portion of the route near an aquifer in Nebraska. Obama has expressed support for the southern portion.
TransCanada has been negotiating with Nebraska state officials over a new route and hopes to have the northern part of the pipeline in service by the end of 2014 or early 2015, assuming it wins State Department approval by the first quarter of next year. That portion would cost $5.3 billion.
The move angered environmentalists, who had claimed the last rejection as a victory in their battle against what they say are oil spill risks and rising greenhouse gas emissions from oil sands development. Last year they staged noisy protests against the project in Washington and elsewhere, leading to some arrests.
TransCanada and its supporters say Keystone XL would be key to cutting U.S. dependence on imported oil from unfriendly sources and will create thousands of jobs.
The company pointed out that 10,000 pages of study from the first review concluded Keystone XL would have minimal impact on the environment, so the application need not be bogged down again.
"Certainly the message we've heard coming out of the State Department and out of the White House is that they fully expect to use as much of the pre-existing record from the previous application as possible," Alex Pourbaix, president of TransCanada's pipeline division, told Reuters.

@Phil. True...but its more like Hundreds of thousands than tens. The CBO's estimate is 250k in the Gulf of Mexico alone because of Obama stopped drilling.
ABO in 2012...and Romney is just fine with me.
@Will. Lol, How frigging lame. Are you paid to push that pack of lies or are you one of the supporting cast of know-noting, overly-emotional, fear-mongering whack-jobs?
You have no idea what you are talking about do you...There are tens of Thousands of Miles of Pipeline in the US and it is, by-far, the safest most cost effective way yet found anywhere on earth to transport liquids or Gas. Be it Water, Oil, LNG, Whatever.
Wow, seriously...Do you just make this stuff up, or did you read it at Libtard's United, or Imma-fool Central?
