Nebraska Gov. Heineman supports efforts to speed up controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline
December 12, 2011
LINCOLN, Neb. -Gov. Dave Heineman said Monday that he supports efforts to accelerate federal approval of a controversial crude oil pipeline through Nebraska.
The Republican governor told reporters in a conference call that he'd like to see the Keystone XL project move forward as soon as state officials agree to a new, acceptable route in Nebraska.
Pipeline developer TransCanada agreed to divert the 1,700-mile project away from the sensitive Nebraska Sandhills after Heineman called a special session aimed at the Keystone XL. The project will face a state environmental review before Heineman makes a recommendation to the U.S. State Department, which must approve or deny a federal permit.
