Decision Delayed on Controversial Keystone XL Pipeline
WASHINGTON— The State Department announced today it will delay its decision on whether to approve the Keystone XL pipeline to give other government agencies more time to analyze the pipeline’s effects. The announcement — which follows a court ruling earlier this year striking down a Nebraska law allowing the governor, not the state’s utility commission, to decide where the pipeline should be built — makes it unlikely that a decision will be made before the November elections.
