WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A proposed $7 billion Canada-to-Texas pipeline cleared a major obstacle on Friday with the release of U.S. State Department review that suggested it would have limited environmental impact.

The report found that the Keystone XL pipeline by itself would not likely boost output of Alberta's oil sands because demand for the oil means it will get to the market one way or another.

"Even without it ... the oil is going to develop and is going to get to different refineries that are demanding it," a State Department official said.

1. Of course they do.

When has this administration ever cared about the environment?

2. If that pipeline ever gets built it will be 30 years in the future

because there will be law suits by the Sierra Club and other groups that will set it back.

will be used in the construction of the pipe line.
How much property are Americans going to be robbed of by the Gov,to get the land necessary, how much local environmental damage when heavy equipment is brought and constriction trash is left behind?
