Keystone Bill Fails in the Senate

The Keystone XL Pipeline failed by one vote last night in the Senate, but there’s no doubt it’s alive to fight another day. Transporting Canadian tar sands oil to the Gulf of Mexico is a major issue in fight over climate change. But, so much has changed during delay over US approval, that the Keystone battle may be more symbolic than real.

The Keystone XL Pipeline failed by one vote last night in the Senate, but there’s no doubt it’s alive to fight another day. Transporting Canadian tar sands oil to the Gulf of Mexico is a major issue in fight over climate change. But, so much has changed during delay over US approval, that the Keystone battle may be more symbolic than real.

Also, Nevada’s high political stakes of immigration reform, and the possible recall of hundreds of millions of cars.
