WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump got ahead of himself Friday when he said he's approved construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.
Trump has signed an order asking the TransCanada pipeline company to "resubmit its application" for a permit to build the project, which it has done. And there's no question Trump is in favor of it. But his statement in South Carolina about the "Keystone pipeline I approved recently" was premature.
There's still a regulatory process to go through and negotiations to be done. Trump has said he'd renegotiate some of the terms and is insisting that the pipeline be built with U.S. steel. TransCanada has said it would need time to review how any buy-American plan from Washington will impact the company.
Late in his presidency, Barack Obama rejected Keystone XL on environmental grounds.
Trump's order directs the State Department and other agencies to make a decision within 60 days of the application.
Acceptable registrations in the queue through June 3 at 5:00p ET have now been activated. Enjoy! -M.W.

Rejecting the pipeline just BO being "bought off" by Soros, Buffett, a bunch of GREENOS and NIMBYS.
The environmental stuff is 99% BS anyway. The fact you need pay a fee to Indian Tribes in 26 states to get them sign off before you can dig a 1 foot hole in the ground is sheer stupidity.

Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!
Re: Trump Gets Ahead of Himself On Keystone
Indian Reservations are semi-autonomous are they not? Sort of like a mini-country within the US? If so then having them sign off makes perfect sense...audiophile wrote:Rejecting the pipeline just BO being "bought off" by Soros, Buffett, a bunch of GREENOS and NIMBYS.

Re: Trump Gets Ahead of Himself On Keystone
They have to sign off even if it NOT on reservation for every project that needs a federal permit
