Construction industry and union groups are blasting the Obama administration for again postponing a decision on the proposed $5.3-billion Keystone XL oil pipeline.
The State Dept. announced on April 18 that it would delay a decision on whether to approve building the controversial 1,179-mile-long portion of the pipeline from Hardisty, Alberta, to Steele City, Neb., in part because of uncertainty over a court case making its way through Nebraska courts over the pipeline’s route.
