The Trump administration has approved a right of way allowing construction of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline on U.S. land, moving the project one step closer toward completion after years of political and legal battles.
The segment of land cleared, approximately 46 miles in Montana, is only a small fraction of the overall pipeline but was “crucial” to move the project forward, according to the Associated Press.
“Today’s decision is an important milestone in constructing the Keystone XL pipeline and a great day for the common sense infrastructure improvement in our country,” Secretary of Interior David Bernhardt said in a statement. “President Trump clearly recognizes the importance of having the infrastructure necessary to meet our energy needs and to fuel our economic progress.”

I wish someone could build a water pipeline across areas most prone to wildfires.Sea water would do just fine if the pipeline ran from north to south through the State of California.Irrigation jets every few miles would be a plus.
