Trump approval for Keystone pipeline doesnt guarantee itll be built. Keep up the fight!



Completion of the 1,700-mile Keystone XL pipeline is still far from a done deal, despite the Trump administration’s approval of a key permit on Friday that reversed a decision by the Obama administration.

Soon after the State Department granted TransCanada a permit to build a pipeline across the U.S.-Canada border, Trump sat smiling in the Oval Office beside the president of the Canadian company. He declared it a “great day for American jobs.”

But it’s still anything but clear when work can begin on uncompleted sections of the pipeline, which is designed to carry crude from the oil sands of Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.

The Nebraska Public Service Commission still must issue a crucial permit so the pipeline can cross state boundaries, and that decision may not come until September.

Keep up the fight, The Fat Man in DC has been signing but the Fat Lady hasn't sung yet, still sitting down with no words on her lips! Keep up the fight.
