For the first time since President Obama issued a controversial order halting its progress, the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline is once again on track for bureaucratic review after TransCanada submitted a new route through Nebraska designed to avoid environmentally sensitive areas.
The new plan, which TransCanada submitted to the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality on Wednesday, takes the Keystone project out of the deep freeze that began in January when Obama agreed with the recommendation of the State Department to reject the initial pipeline application.
This new development, first reported by Fox News, allows Nebraska officials to review the impact of the pipeline's adjusted route. It also opens the door for the pipeline's builder, TransCanada, to submit a new complete proposal covering the entire length of the pipeline to the State Department for its review.

We have to fire Obama in November to rid the Muslim Countries from Controlling our oil, and so we can be independent form the MO's out ther!
lol, good luck with that! Seems we've had 20 yrs out of the last 31 of republican presidents and we are still beholden to foreign oil.
Only black thing obama wants running in this country is him and criminals.not oil.
When Trans Canada announced that they were going to sell oil to China, did anyone other than me laugh? That's the economic equivalent to hauling pickup loads of watermelons from Florida to the Eastern Shore.Of course they've come up with another idea.Anything short of the original plan is a losing proposition.Duh.
Our fearless leader felt the backlash from the American people when he turned it down the first time.He will now bow to the leader of TransCanada to try to turn this thing around.
