Finally! State Department To Approve Keystone Pipeline Permit

After months of being in limbo, the State Department will approve the permit for the 1,200-mile Keystone Pipeline that was held up by the Obama administration.

Obama blocked it regardless, to appease his base.

The move by the State Department comes 16 months after Obama blocked construction of the 1,200-mile pipeline, which would ship crude from Canada's western oil-sands region to refineries on the Gulf Coast. The pipeline became the subject of a major lobbying efforts by both oil industry supporters and environmental groups, which turned the project into the focus of their climate change campaigns.
