The Obama administration says it is indefinitely extending its
long-awaited review of the Keystone XL pipeline — providing a Good
Friday jolt to one of the president’s most wrenching environmental
decisions.
The move could easily push President Barack Obama’s final decision past the November election.
The State Department declined to specify how long the delay will last,
saying only that it needs to extend its review because of an ongoing
dispute in front of the Nebraska Supreme Court that could affect the
project’s route inside the state. “We are moving ahead very diligently
with all the other aspects that are necessary for the national interest
determination,” a senior State Department official told reporters on a
conference call.
