Keystone XL Bill Passes In Senate Faces Obama Veto


The U.S. Senate passed a bill on Thursday to approve the long-pending Keystone XL oil pipeline, despite the White House saying earlier in the day that President Barack Obama would veto the measure. The Republican-led Senate passed the bill that would approve TransCanada Corp's project to carry 800,000 barrels per day of heavy Canadian crude to Nebraska on the way to Gulf Coast refineries and ports. The House has passed its own pipeline bill and will work with the Senate to send the bill to the Obama's desk. After the potential veto, Obama is expected to make his own decision on the pipeline after the State Department finishes a review in coming weeks.

Hillary Clinton says she opposes the Keystone XL pipeline, calling it "A distraction from important work we have to do on climate change."

Clinton, speaking at a community forum in Des Moines, Iowa, told the audience she waited to weigh in on the decision because she did not want to interfere with an ongoing review conducted by the State Department.

"It is imperative that we look at the Keystone pipeline as what I believe it is, a distraction from important work we have to do on climate change," Clinton said. "And, unfortunately from my perspective, one that interferes with our ability to move forward with all the other issues. Therefore I oppose it." Ref. CNN
