Didn’t I just get done noting this morning that Obama’s own Jobs Council favors more oil programs?
(Politico) The State Department on Wednesday will reject the Keystone XL pipeline, multiple sources following the project told POLITICO.
The Obama administration’s formal announcement is expected at 3 p.m. from Deputy Secretary of State William Burns. Although the permit would be rejected, pipeline company TransCanada would be allowed to continue to work on and pitch an alternative route through Nebraska.
Spokesweasel Jay Carney even had the temerity to blame the GOP. Interestingly, AFL-CIO head Richard Trumpka is on the same side as the GOP.
Anyhow, supposedly Keystone XL is not in the US’s national interest, per the State Department. Unfortunately, it may soon be in China’s national interest.
